Short Coffin Nails

These baby blue coffin nails are spring/summer stunners! The soft color palette is so pretty for the warm weather months. It also gives a soft aesthetic to combine with the sharp short coffin shape.

Ombre got a colorful edge with these nails! Aren’t they stunning? The brighter shade of blue, fading into clear polish is everything. We really love the darker tone used between the base and tip colors for added dimension.

White coffin nails got transformed with a butterfly! We thought this take on butterfly design was super fun, painting half of the butterfly on each nail. It’s just enough of the butterfly touch to give you a fun manicure.

If you like the butterfly trend, but want something with a little more of a glam vibe – butterfly shaped glitter is for you. Apply the glitter onto a clear nail for added dimension and a modern aesthetic. The white color scheme keeps it fresh and light.

Switch up the ombre design by adding the color/texture to the base of the nail and fading as you get towards the tips. Of course the ombre is gorgeous, but we think the combination of different color/shape/size glitter amplifies the look.
