About coffin nails

Tapered sides with a flat tip. Needs some length: best on extensions.

Check the sidewalls before choosing this shape. The strongest version follows the natural width of the nail bed instead of forcing a narrow tip, and regular filing keeps the outline balanced as it grows.

File with the existing outline instead of taking width from the stress points. If corners or sidewalls start to crack, shorten the nail before reshaping it.
