Here you go : Kolionychia (spoon shaped nails) is when the nail curves upwards to form a spoon like appearance so that if drop of water were placed on the nail it would be held in place such as it would in a spoon. It often occurs in response to an iron deficiency and will often progress from brittle nails.

I've seen that before I don't think it's a big deal, people's nails just grow different, my nails grow rounded.

My nails grow like that and there isn't anything wrong with them really. they are just soft but they do grow long if I don't cut them.

I've seen nails grow upward and some curve downward at the end. I thought it was just genetics.

Mine turn up too. I have plenty of iron and b12. So there must be another reason why they curl upwards
