Coffin nails are perfect for fall, and not just because of their spooky name. This nail shape resembles a coffin, but the designs (typically) do not. Got that, Morticia?
Coffin-shaped nails are usually a longer style to accommodate the specific shape, which gives you even more room for impressive art. And if you’re curious about the surface area of the designs, just look at our eighth grade geometry notebook. You can ignore the “Mrs. Justin Bieber” hearts.
Ready to take the plunge and get inspired for your next coffin manicure? We found the coolest designs, from hearts to swirls to French tips and more.
