to stop our toes fraying at the ends
Is for you to practise painting.
They are genetically left-over evolutionary remnants from 10million years ago, when we all had claws...





Seriously.
It's all evolution. They would have been claws back in the old days, useful for catching food and climbing
u r correct but some girls like my girl make them look sexy.COMPTON hit me up.
Nails are used to hold lots of things together,..... I think you'll find if we didn't have toenails, our toes would drop off.
Cause if you put nail polish onto bare skin it just flakes right off
So you can't lie about your age....how many people do you know that bite their toe nails...or are they just too old and no longer supple enough to do so?
I don't know, you tell me stupid.
to protect u're toe snails.
They help you walk and protect the toe itself. They give structure to the boneless part of your toe when you walk so you don't just fall on your face. Also, they add protection to the toe if something were to fall on it or what have you..
beleive it or not they help keep your balance on your toes. nails are just a collection of minerals stored on the outside of your body.
T stop your toes fraying ! sorry couldnt help making a joke
I so agree with little me.Yes paint them.
Ive got twenty nails
Why yo protect those beautiful little toes of course!





And I bet you keep them oh so gorgeous!





;-)
So we can paint them nice colours and improve the look of our ugly toes - I hate toes lol.
they protect the sensitive skin under the nail
Toenails provide protection to the nerve endings in your toes, just as fingernails provide protection for the nerve endings in your fingers. Without that protection, you would quickly lose any sensitivity in either of those sets of digits. Just for your own curiosity, try touching your toe with something like a feather, then touch your heel, and see what the difference in sensitivity between the protected area and the unprotected area is.
I paint them too!
i tink they support ur toes
Nails are the only scales that evolution has left on our bodies. The claws of predatory animals began as scales and became sharp and strong as a natural adaptation, one that has gone to a further extreme than has been the case with humans... so far.





Look on the back of your hands. See those grooves? That's where rows of scales used to anchor, back in the reptile days. There's all kinds of vestigial carry overs from the evolutionary past that you can notice if you look for them. (Another one is the webbing between our fingers.)
