If I let my nails grow out more than I would prefer, will the pink part grow out more too?

I don’t like having much white part of my nail, but I feel like the pink part has receded somewhat, so maybe I should let them grow uncomfortably longer for a few weeks, so I can cut it cleaner.

Letting your nails grow longer can help the pink part, known as the nail bed, to potentially extend over time. Consistent care, like gently pushing back cuticles and moisturizing, can support this. Remember, nails grow at different rates for everyone. If you're concerned, a visit to a nail technician or dermatologist might offer personalized advice. 😊💅

According to a Google search: "Yes, letting your nails grow out will increase the length of the pink part, which is the nail bed, because the entire nail structure, including the nail plate (the hard, white part) and the pink nail bed beneath it, grows together from the nail matrix. However, the pink area can also appear to recede if the nail separates from the nail bed, a condition called onycholysis, which can happen after trauma or injury. "
