For adults they grow (on average) about 0.02 inches a week (or almost half a millimetre). That works out to 2.3 cm (or 0.9 inches) per year. That's about the same pace that continents move, by the way.
If you're thinking that your nails definitely grow more than that -- you're probably right. Young people have faster-growing fingernails than oldies. Fingernails also grow more during the day, in summer, and among people who live in warmest and sunniest climates. Men have faster growing fingernails than women. Children have the fastest growing fingernails of all. In fact, a child under about 12 can lose the very tip of their finger, and the finger tip will grow back (nail and all).
The fingernails on the longest fingers (the middle fingers) grow fastest of all. Also, the more the hand is used the faster the nail grow (because of a better blood supply). Good health promotes faster fingernail growth.
Toenails grow between a quarter and half as much as fingernails.

I need to use bolt cutters to trim my toenails and they (fingers too) grow like crazy. I guess that is good. I eat very very well and disciplined and exercise each day for 2 hours - do this if you want great "nail performance"!!!!
If you rub some oilolive oil from your kitchen then they will grow within 3 days. Its works good

Finger nails, they grow on different paces, depending on the person! If you are a very sporty person, then the finger nails would grow slower ( because hands and fingers tend to be contaminated with bacteria and dirt MORE). If the person is well hygienic and elegant, then the nails will tend to grow faster and healthier and also if you use varies regims! Go to youtube, to get better answers!....... I'm just here to tell you the truth!
Also "Scavenger" is right about the accurate growing nails FACT!
