Coffin nails: the hottest nail trend you need to know! Forget spooky connotations; this manicure's sharp, square-tipped shape is pure glam. Think long, tapered nails ending in a defined point – a look that's taken the nail world by storm.

Also known as ballerina nails (though subtly different, as explained below), this style was initially popularized by celebrities but has quickly become a mainstream favorite. The name refers to its resemblance to either a coffin or a ballerina's pointed slipper. They feature a tight C-curve, tapered sides, and a straight free edge.

Often confused with ballerina nails, coffin nails distinguish themselves through their sharper, more angular tip. Ballerina nails have softly curved sides that meet in a narrow square, whereas coffin nails boast a defined, sharp edge creating a more pronounced square tip. This subtle difference significantly impacts the overall look, with the wider square tip of the coffin nail creating a universally flattering, elongating effect on the hand.

While any color or nail art works beautifully, whites, wine reds, and gold accents are particularly popular, often enhanced with rhinestones or a matte finish.

The unique coffin shape maintains a consistent width at the nail bed and tip, widening slightly in the middle. This creates an illusion of slimmer fingers and narrower nail beds.

Unlike fleeting trends, coffin nails are a lasting style worn by many. A quick social media scan reveals just how prevalent this shape is.

Achieving the look starts with a regular square nail, whether natural or extended. Carefully file the corners near the free edge to create the signature taper.

Why the Coffin Nail Trend?

The coffin nail's rise to fame is partly due to improved accessibility. Until recently, creating this shape was time-consuming and required specialized techniques. Now, readily available coffin-shaped nail tips and products make the style quicker, easier, and more affordable.

Length & Longevity

For the most elegant effect, medium to long nails are ideal. However, the perfect length depends on personal preference, hand shape, and lifestyle. Discuss your desired length with your nail technician beforehand.

A simple coffin manicure takes about one to two hours. Add nail art, and the time increases depending on the design's complexity. Press-on nails offer a quick, ten-minute alternative.

Longevity varies from two to six weeks, with the sharp edges naturally softening over time. While undeniably stylish, be aware that the length and defined corners may require slightly more care than rounded nails.
