The white part at the tip of the nail is white because there is no blood to be seen under that part of the nail. It is called lunula after a half-moon shape.

The white part is where the nail extends past your skin. If you're white you'll notice that the nail part attached to your finger skin is pink. This is from the blood underneath your skin. But the white part, having no blood to back it up, simple looks white.
