If you’ve been keeping up with the latest nail styles, you know that coffin nails are back. This unique shape, which is based on the outline of a coffin, looks a lot like a regular square nail but is usually a little longer. That extra length gives you more room for bold, eye-catching designs that really stand out. There will always be a place for classic French manicures and simple looks, but coffin nails let you be creative. All kinds of manicure lovers can really appreciate this nail shape.
