Amino-acid: bonds of cystine in the matrix proteins contribute maximally to nail hardness by gluing the keratin fibers together.
Calcium does not contribute to nail hardness and makes up only 0.2% of the nail plate by weight.
The lipid content is relatively low compared with the lipid content of the stratum corneum. their presence contributes to the water resistance.
Despite the water resistance, the hydration status of the nail plate is another factor determining its hardness. The nail plate's water content can vary greatly, with normal content being 18%. Nails become brittle when the water content is less than 16% and become soft when greater than 25%.
Minerals are another important aspect of the nail plate's composition; mainly, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, sodium, and copper.

yes they are related Many medical conditions can affect the shape or texture of the fingernails. Brittleness of the nails, meaning that the nails easily become cracked or chipped, can be observed as a sign of aging or in response to the long-term use of nail polish or exposure to moist conditions (including frequent swimming or dishwashing). Some diseases are also associated with changes in the nails, which can include brittleness. The term onychoschizia refers to splitting of the fingernails as well as brittle or soft nails.
