Coffin nails are definitely having a moment. We have seen so many coffin nails on social and on many influencers and celebrity’s Instagrams (like our favorite Kylie Jenner- see our first 3 nail inspo below). Coffin nails are just super edgy and fun because you can do so many different cute nail art designs on them due to their longer and wider nature.
So, what are coffin nails? They are named coffin nails because they resemble the shape of a coffin and they are not as pointy as stiletto nails. Coffin nails are also known as ballerina nails and they are long and tapered at the end, with a blunt squared-off tip. Due to its longer nature, you will often see medium coffins and long coffins with press on nails or acrylic nails. Short coffins are achievable with natural nails.
We curated 40 of our favorite coffin nail designs and the top coffin nail trends below. Let these nail designs inspire your next manicure.
Classic French Manicure:
Coffin French tip nails can be so classy and pretty. You can do thick or thin French tips and also use traditional white or light colors for this look.
Ombre Coffin Nails:
We love ombre coffin nails! Ombre nails look especially good on coffin shaped nails because of the longer shape. Start with light-colored nail polish at the base of your nails, and then gradually add darker colors as you move towards the tips.
Glitter Coffin Nails:
Glam up your nails by adding some glitter to your coffin nails. You can do just the tips of the nails or the entire nail – the possibilities are endless!
Summer Coffin Nails:
If you want to make a statement with your coffin nails, go for a bright and bold color scheme. We have seen so many bright-colored coffin nails on celebs like Kylie who has shown us summer coffin nails can be so fun. Try using neon colors, or mix and match different vibrant shades to create a unique look.
