Application Description

Coffin nails—the name might conjure images of spooky things, but this manicure is all about glamour. The shape, resembling a coffin, features long, tapered nails ending in a sharp square tip. You've likely seen this stylish shape everywhere, even if you didn't know its name. Initially popularized by celebrities, coffin nails, also known as ballerina nails, have taken the nail world by storm.

While often confused with ballerina nails (which have softly curved sides), coffin nails boast sharply defined, straight edges creating a distinct square tip. This subtle difference significantly impacts the overall look, with the wider square tip of the coffin shape creating a universally flattering elongating effect.

The shape itself is quite unique: the nail bed and tip maintain the same width, while the middle section widens. This narrow-wide-narrow design creates the illusion of slimmer nail beds and fingers. Popular colors include whites and wine reds, often accented with gold and embellished with rhinestones or a matte finish.

Unlike fleeting trends like bubble or aquarium nails, coffin nails are a consistently popular choice, frequently appearing in numerous social media posts. This enduring appeal is partly due to increased accessibility.

Why the current popularity? Until recently, creating coffin nails required specialized techniques. Now, readily available coffin-shaped nail tips and products make the style easier and faster to achieve, often leading to lower costs for clients.

How Long Are Coffin Nails?

Ideally, coffin nails should be medium to long for the best tapered shape. However, the perfect length varies based on personal preference, hand shape, and lifestyle. Discuss length with your nail technician beforehand. Application time ranges from one to two hours for a simple set, with nail art adding extra time. Press-on options offer a quick, 10-minute alternative.

Longevity depends on your lifestyle, typically lasting two to six weeks. The sharp edges will naturally soften over time. While undeniably stylish, be aware that their length and defined corners may require slightly more care than rounded nails.
