This Fall, the Coffin Nail Trends You'll See Across the Board

When your go-to shapes like square and almond aren't cutting it, coffin nails are a terrific way to add some edge to your mani.
When Halloween season arrives, coffin fall nails are much better.
Don't be frightened off by the creepy name; this form is aggressive and entertaining.

Let's start with the fundamentals if you're into the technical stuff:

Coffin nails are exactly what they sound like.

"Traditionally, coffin shaped nails are longer nails with a square or straight top and generally taper considerably towards the tip," says Emily Rudman, designer of Emilie Heathe.
“Another frequent design is the ballerina, which is a bigger version of the coffin shape—the two are sometimes used interchangeably.”

Coffin fall nail designs are a wonderful alternative for individuals who want to give their fingers a more extended look as the leaves start to fall.
The length is sure to turn heads, and the proper fall nail designs won't make you feel like you're dressed up as a pumpkin spice latte.

Longer nails have been utilized as a tool for artistic expression and personal style for years, according to Rudman.
“The more nails you have, the bigger the canvas you have to work with.
Many of the nail trends we see come from Black, Asian, and Latinx cultures from a cultural viewpoint.
And with those cultures in America making more of a statement while owning their contributions to the country,

Artists like Cardi B have been wearing extensions on their hands long before they became famous, and they've continued to show off new styles while also putting the individuals behind their eye-catching work on the map.
Jenny Bui, the long-time nail stylist behind many of Cardi and her sister Hennessy's blinged-out manis, is known for her stunning Swarovski crystal extensions.

Long nails are often seen on celebs ranging from Kylie Jenner to Dua Lipa, but this wasn't always the case.
In reality, “claws” wasn't always considered a praise.
“There is always appropriation,” Rudman adds. “In this case, longer nails were historically considered as ‘inappropriate' or ‘not classy.'”
"However, as the globe has changed and white cultures have adopted new beauty trends, the majority has become more accepting.
It's neither acceptable nor equitable, but it happens frequently."
As the world of beauty evolves, it's vital to remember the history of how the most recent trends came to be in order to give credit where credit is due.

Coffin nails are here to stay as a way to show off your uniqueness while also beautifying oneself.

It sounds a little weird, but it looks fantastic. However, if you're looking for a theme, a childhood favorite, such as the Toy Story one seen above, is one option. The azure skies, Woody's plaid shirt...this contemporary interpretation is guaranteed to evoke a flood of childhood memories.

•    Retro Lines - It's like a modernized version of your aunt's favorite dress from the 1980s.
