"A nail is a horn-like envelope covering the dorsal aspect of the terminal phalanges of fingers and toes in humans, most non-human primates, and a few other mammals. Nails are similar to claws in other animals."

In short, nails are hardened keratin covering an individuals fingers and toes.
This tag should be tagged on images featuring a character with nails, whether it be on their fingers or toes.

Take note that nails can at times be mistaken as claws.
While sometimes hard to differentiate between the two, claws tends to be pointy, sharp and narrow around the outer edge; While nails on the other hand tends to be smooth and curved along the outer edges.

• nail – a sharp object intended for fastening
