Why is it called coffin nails?

Coffin nails, also known as ballerina nails, may have started with A-listers like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, but it has quickly overtaken the nail world. They're named for either the angular shape of a coffin or the flat toe of a ballerina's slipper and have a tight C-curve, tapered sides, and a straight free edge.

What does coffin shaped nails look like?

Ballerina nails (also known as coffin-shaped nails) are Kylie Jenner's signature nail shape. Ballerina nails are essentially the stiletto nail, but with a square rather than pointy tip. They're called ballerina nails or coffin nails because the shape resembles both a coffin and a ballerina's slipper.

What nail shape looks best on short chubby fingers?

The round edge elongates shorter nails with a wide nail bed, making it ideal for those of you who think your hands are a little 'chubby,' as it'll optically extend your finger length to make your hands look more slender.

What is a coffin manicure?
Coffin/Ballerina

If you're worried about poking your eye out or you want a slightly less fragile yet still extreme nail shape, try coffin or ballerina nails. This shape, which has two names, is basically like stiletto nails but with a squared-off tip to mimic the appearance of a coffin or pointe shoes.

What nail shape is most flattering?

If you have medium or long nails, oval, almond, and coffin shapes will suit you best. Use elongating nail shapes, such as almond, coffin, and oval, to lengthen and slenderize short and wide fingers. Ladies with fingers that are naturally long and slim should choose a square nail shape for a flattering effect.
