Answer:

The hair bulb has melanocytes in it, which secrete different forms of melanin (eumelanin, pheomelanin) and impart color to the hair.

I don’t believe the roots of the fingernails and toenails (a fingernail is shown here) ever have melanocytes.

Furthermore, the keratin of the nails is much more compacted, or condensed, than the keratin of the hair, giving the nails their hardness and (as a side effect, probably not of functional importance) their milky translucency.
