What is the story with fingernails and how does the body make them?

Just curious as to why some people have brittle nails and other people have naturally strong nails. I consume lots of protein, yet my nails are thin and brittle. Just dont know. Wondering if my asthma has anything to do with it. or just genetics.

One good thing for growing healthy fingernails is pre natal vitamins.
Fingernails and toenails are made of dead skin.
