Short (But Cool) Coffin Nails To Try

Coffin Nails


Coffin Nails. Thinking of switching up your go-to manicure? If length is on your side—or if you're not opposed to acrylic tips consider short coffin nails. Just remember: Coffin nails typically have extreme lengths, so even short coffin nails still have that signature shape.

But first, what is a coffin nail shape? While stiletto nails have sharp, pointed tips and almond nails have long, half-pointed tips that ultimately round off, coffin nails have tapered, square-shaped ends. If you're on board with the shape, it's time to think about ways to make it stand out.

Ahead, you'll find two dozen short coffin nail ideas. Choose your favorite or mix and match elements from several favorites for a unique nail look you'll want to wear over and over.
