Which direction? Up, down, inward/ingrown? Fingers, toes, or both? Curling can indicate many things (lack of oxygen, thyroid, iron, B12, more); here's a brief slide show of some:

You can also try googling: curling nails causes

If you're brave, trying an image search may turn up something similar to what you have (making it easier to find information) but some of the pics may be a bit graphic.
