Can nails damage a screen protected by tempered glass?

I use a tempered glass screen, but if I accidentally touch the screen with my fingernail (coated with tempered glass) will the screen still be damaged?

Can human fingernails scratch the screen of an iPhone 14 Pro Max? I’m aware these latest generations of iPhone including the 14s have ceramic shields but do human fingernails fall under the umbrella of it being invincible to? Do the damage the screen in any way?

If you use a good tempered glass screen protector (i.e. Spigen or Zagg), your screen should be safe.
