That is correct, the graying is in the moons, or the bed, not the nail.
As I said, consider a dock the nail bed, and the ship the nail. The
silver accumulates at the dock to be put on the ship, but gets stuck
there, never making it onto the ship (or in the nail). Here is what I
think happens. The fingernail is made of protein. The body accumulates
metals to put within the protein, that is with silver it produces
something akin to MSP (mild silver protein). But if there is sufficient
silver it can aggregate, get stuck and cause a kind of argria in that
one area where it is formed, which is not surprising since we know that
MSP can produce argyria when taken internally.

The mechanism for graying of the fingernail moons is not photographic
in nature. It is well known that the body puts metals in the nails
and hair, thus the reason why tests are done on the hair to determine
metal loads. Prior to being incorported into the nail or hair, the
body must accumulate said metals at the "root", that is stage them,
or export via the nail or hair, just like materials are placed on a
dock before placing on a ship about to leave. This staging of the
silver results in a high concentration of silver at the roots, which,
if there is sufficient silver load, will lead to aggregation, and the
particles getting stuck there.
Mine (grey/blue nails at the "moons") is not in the nail itself, and
never has been. If it was in the nail the coloration would grow out
with the nails, and it does not. It stays in the same place year after
year. Sometimes darker, denser, sometimes the right one fades a little
in the center of the dark line that outlines the moon of the nail. But
the coloration absolutely stays put other than that. If any of the
silver particles got into the actual nails, it should have all been
gone years ago, my nails grow very fast...........
