ANSWER 1
Finger nails are combination of bone with Keratin, but without tissues or muscles or blood cells, they are formed like a protection layer which are extended from the inner bone but does not continue with the flesh or Finger, but are ttached to Finger.
Same is the reason, one doesn't feel pain while nails are cut but yes once can feel it when it it along with the flesh attaching it
ANSWER 2
Finger nails and toe nails are much more closely related to hair than to bone.
Bone is living tissue which contains nerves and manufactures blood cells.
Hair and nails are only living tissue at the base, where they connect to the skin. The base of a hair is called its "root"; the base of a nail is called its "bed".
All of the hair or nail above its base is dead tissue, being pushed upward by new living growth at the base. You can cut your hair or nails without feeling pain because they are not living tissue and contain no nerves except at their base.
