About oval nails
Rounded and symmetrical. The safest shape for wide nail beds.
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.
