Nail trends are influenced by pop culture, magazine covers, and even seasons. Some trends you can try with blue coffin nails are:

  • Minimalist nails: Neutral, muted colors with abstract designs are a key trend we’re seeing on blue coffin nails
  • Pastel shades: Coffin nails are often paired with bold and pigmented shades while ignoring softer pastel shades. We’re all for dreamy pastel shades on a long coffin-shaped nail
  • Ombré nails: Coffin nail plates are long and give you more space to play with, making them the perfect shape to try for an ombré design. The gradient effect will make your fingers appear even longer!
  • Accent blue coffin nails: Add a single accent nail with a different color or perhaps an accessory to add a pop of color and make the nai designs stand out.

Choosing the Right Shade of Blue Coffin Nails

Remember the big three while choosing a shade of blue for your nails – outfit, occasion, and skin tone.

These are the most important factors that will contribute to your new nail look being a hit or a flop! You don’t want to overdo it with bold and heavy designs for a low-key occasion or worse, have a really subtle look for a big day! 

While thinking of your skin tone, talk to your nail technician and let her weigh in on your choice too. Remember to look at your skin’s undertones and choose the right blue that is flattering for your look! 

How to Take Care of Your Coffin Nails

Coffin nails can be cumbersome to take care of, especially if you’re going for a longer nail plate. Apart from basic nail care which covers cuticle care, basic hygiene, and moisturizing, you can take care of your coffin nails by avoiding heavy handy work. 

Coffin nails are sexy, bold, and can be sported by anyone. Some proper grooming, a stunning design, and a chic nail shape mean the compliments will be coming in non stop!
