“I actually go to the nail salon on Fridays.”
But our nails can sometimes offer clues to our health.
“Fingernails can be a window to a lot of health issues -liver disease, kidney disease, anemia, heart disease.”

The reason I ask that way is I think the word class of it as a noun that means "comprisal " . Am I wrong?
