Did you know you can test fingernails or toenails to see if someone has used drugs? Nail drug testing works similarly to hair follicle drug testing, and it is an attractive option for those who refuse or cannot test the hair. Further it is effective for a variety of drugs, including substances like fentanyl, tramadol, and ketamine.
How Does Fingernail Testing Work?
Your fingernails grow out of a nail bed, and this nail bed is connected to your blood flow – meaning if drugs are flowing through your body, traces of the drugs will also flow into your nails. Further, hardly anything can alter the nail’s protein, called keratin, which makes it difficult to alter the test results. To test the nails for drug use, we follow a process that will hold up in the court of law should the test results be used as evidence.
What Kinds Of Drugs Can Nail Testing Find?
Fingernail drug tests can discover the presence of many assortments of drugs, including:
Opiates
Cocaine
Amphetamines
Barbiturates
Benzodiazepines
These tests can also cover substances like fentanyl, tramadol, and ketamine.
Whichever one of these substances is the culprit you are trying to track down in the body of yourself, loved ones, employees, etc, make sure you ask a qualified tester at Test Smartly Labs how best to proceed. We’re professionals, and we care about what our tests mean to our customers.
Prescription Drug Abuse: Signs, Symptoms and Statistics

Nail testing is a good, reliable option for drug testing. Here are some of its advantages over drug testing types:
6-8 months: That’s the amount of time fingernails may contain evidence that someone has used drugs. Drug testing fingernails offers a wider window into drug use history.
Everyone has nails: You can always test the nails for drugs, this comes in handy if someone refuses to collect hair or shaves their head.
No cheating: No amount of manicuring, polishing or filing the nails will hide what lies within the nail beds.
