So how fast do the average adult's nails grow? The simple answer is that fingernails grow about one-tenth of an inch (3 millimeters) a month. If you lose a fingernail, it will take four to six months to regrow completely. Toenails take a year to a year and a half to grow from cuticle to tip [source: Robb-Nicholson ].
An injury to a nail may result in the loss of the nail. As long as the nail bed itself wasn't damaged, a lost nail should eventually grow back. Healthy fingernails grow at a rate of about 0.10mm per day, but toenails are slower, growing at only about one half to one third of a fingernail's rate.
