if you have drywall, then you might need screws or anchors,


the anchors go in a larger whole made in the wall then the screw goes in to that piece to enlarge the inside thus making it tight into the wall


there are several different styles of wall anchors, just check them out at walmart, or you can find some screws that have very course thread they might workWhat kind of nails should i use on a wooden wall? (i shop at walmart)?
Headless nails. If you don't know what they look like ask someone @ Walmart and they'll probably be able to help you.
Sounds like your nails are either to short or not on an angle.


try using a ';Ring shank'; nail they can be bought at any lumber store or home improvement store I am not sure if they are sold at Wal-mart or not. They need to be long enough to go at least an inch into the wall and try to put them on an angle such as the point going toward the the floor at a 22 or more degree angle this help in the holding of the mirror. Also Mirror are heavy and require a fair abount of nails.
