Officially called the lunula, that little crecent at the base of the nail is where the nail matrix (the birthplace of new nail cells) lies. Normally the lunula is most prominent on the thumbs, and it gets progressively less visible on each finger as you move from thumb over to pinky. It's a normal variation to see more of it on some fingers than on others," says Kleinsmith. "And whether it's visible or not isn't indicative of health." A fun nail fact: the shape of the lunula determines the ntural shape of the nail edge.
