Hi, I'm asking if there is any relationship between the distal phalanx bone's length and the nail bed length - so basically: Longer Distal Phalanx Bone = Longer -looking nail? I'd like to precise that i'm not talking about the nail part you cut or bite, but the nail part ladies paint. Thank you very much for your help :)
