Coffin-shaped nails - a new controversial trend in manicure

Stylists have already called this unique trend of the season creepy, gloomy and very controversial. But demand creates supply, today stylists can offer many ideas for the design of unusual marigolds. Moreover, they assure that a manicure with coffins can be not only fatal and suitable for a masquerade, but also gentle, innocent and even romantic.

First of all, this shape of nails is available only to owners of long nails, it is simply impossible to give such a shape to short ones. But to build up this shape of nails will not be difficult. Of course, true ladies and ladies, constrained by the severity of the dress code, should not abuse this design, because it looks quite defiant. But young hooligans, creative personalities and eternal adventure seekers simply have to try to shock others at least once.

This non-standard type of manicure is distinguished by a shape similar to a square, but with a narrowed tip. A manicure looks very interesting, in which the shape of the coffin is combined with long pointed or square nails. You can select only 1-2 fingers and sharpen them for a new trend. So, the manicure will be more restrained and less defiant.

The scope for imagination in terms of coverage in this design option is huge:

• a classic monochromatic coating in black and red colors, berry-wine tones will definitely add a degree of gloom and challenge, if you are striving for it;
• delicate, pastel shades distract attention from the unusual form and balance the overall impression of the composition;
• almost all fashion trends are appropriate in tandem with this nail shape.

It is worth paying attention to the most popular coffin-shaped nail designs.

One of the leaders in coffin manicure design is the classic French manicure and its reverse, lunar look. Why the coffin-shaped jacket has become so popular is due to the fact that the transparent, nude coating makes it less defiant, and the decor allows you to show your imagination.

Pastel shades of pink, peach, lavender, mint, or blue are great ways to distract attention from funeral motifs. The nude scale and the ombre technique will also perfectly cope with this task. A smooth, low-contrast transition within one restrained scale can give life even to a coffin. The same effect can be expected from a gradient coating. But the exquisite gray color, despite its elegance, is too cold for such a manicure.

Here, the imagination is practically unlimited, and if a laconic or gentle scale is chosen as the main background, then even flowers, patterns and ornaments will be appropriate. In the case of choosing floral motifs for a drawing, you should restrain the use of too bright and catchy colors. The shape of the nail itself is quite aggressive and requires restraint in everyday design.

Anything that glitters will help to add festivity and showiness to a manicure: sparkles, "broken glass", glitter, rhinestones. It is best to arrange 1-2 accent nails in this manner, so as not to overload the already controversial design. The metallic sheen of the decor is another way to liven up the slightly funeral mood of the design.

This option will further enhance the gloomy impression, accentuate the sharpness of the corners, and the strange shape. Therefore, you need to be more careful with him, unless, of course, you are pursuing a completely opposite goal, and gloom is included in your plans.

Another way to exaggerate the impression of the coffins on the nails is to add a little marble slab motif, especially if you use white, gray or black as the basis. Although, if you're heading for Halloween, why not.

Very soon a holiday is coming, on which not only the gloomy afterlife theme is appropriate, but also welcomed in every possible way. Going to Halloween, you can not be afraid to overdo it, you can safely plunge into the funeral-Gothic mood and do the most incredible things.

The first thing that comes to mind when you look at the shape of the coffin is the coffin itself. Therefore, painting in a coffin theme will be very useful. It is enough to take as a basis matte black or glossy varnish and add edging and crosses in gold, silver or red.

Another stunning decor for a dark holiday can be done in the shape of a skull or skulls. They can be used to form 1–2 nails, but you can do that. On Halloween, you don't have to hold back. A stunning impression, in the literal sense, will produce such a manicure on a white background with black decor.

This bad omen symbol asks for a canvas in the form of a coffin.You can choose a nude-flesh scale for the background, and place black cat faces on accent or all nails.

The sharp shape of the coffin nails is in perfect harmony with the simple sharp shape. Select the ring finger with a sharp tip and shape it in the form of a blood-shiny knife.

Thinking over nail art for a masquerade, do not forget about snakes, because these animals are able to catch up with real fear in people, and the animal print is a real hit of the season. A neutral or scarlet finish paired with a snake pattern or a scaled look is a great idea for a dark, stylized manicure.

Who is your favorite horror hero, choose and draw. Freddy Krueger, Pennywise will look very convincing on a masquerade night. The red little finger will perfectly get along in this composition.

If you want to keep some restraint, choose a dark blue background and depict all phases of the moon on your nails. Gloomy and rather laconic.

A dark background, trees swaying in the wind - such a landscape can catch up with eerie with just one description.

Images of this kind are capable of a lot and are great for the night when all the evil spirits come to life. Against a neutral background, a white ghost with eyes and mouth will look very harmonious.

A gray or black web or a scary spider waiting for its prey is a great idea for Halloween. Several rhinestones on the spider web will give the feeling of raindrops.
