No effect on baby because you didn't swallow a large amount of the material. The bad taste is from your nails entering your mouth with a little residue on your nails. The food was good but your nails were contaminated and dried up by the time you ate and a bad taste was left.

The minuscule (very tiny) amount that you may have ingested is unlikely to have any effect on you or your baby. In the future, please remember to wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds prior to eating, after using the bathroom and any time you have been away from your nice clean home.
