if you drink a lot of milk or take vitamins, you can get them.. but they don't always appear on every finger.. i usually get them on my thumb or ring finger every now and then..

I've never had those that big, but they're pretty common. Usually it means you put some kind of stress on the nail, like it bent or something. I think you just have to wait it out until it grows and then you trim it off, but if you really need to cover it up, you can just use nail polish or something.
