free edge
Nail tip margin
The free edge is the part of a fingernail or toenail that extends beyond the fingertip—the white portion you trim.
In anatomy and construction, a free edge is any border not attached to another structure: the free edge of the eyelid, the free edge of a membrane.
The term emphasizes that one side is unbound and accessible.
