Given the enormous popularity of these nails, it makes sense that there would be a considerable amount of inquiries regarding how to create the ideal coffin nails, whether on natural nails or false nails.
You can get different designs, colors, sizes, and shapes of coffin nails. The most common material for coffin nails is acrylic gel because it’s easy to work with and lasts longer than other materials.
You may always use acrylic gel to lengthen your natural nails and make them more durable.

Steps for Coffin Halloween Nails
You can shape coffin nails on natural nails, but natural nails are vulnerable to breakage; hence it is better to use acrylic nails. Follow the following steps to shape acrylic/ natural nails.
- Make a little dot bang in the middle of your nail using manicure paint. For nail shape and trimming, use this dot as a guide.
- To form your nails into a coffin, gradually begin to trim them. Keep the center in mind, and don’t make the edges too sharp.
- Start filing the nail’s sidewalls as soon as you are satisfied with the form.
- Gently work towards the nail’s core while filing both sides using the dot as a guide. Make sure both sides of the filing are even.
- Once satisfied with the tapered sides, cut the tip straight through with the nail clippers.
- To get a flat tip, gently file the raw edge. Keep the edges crisp; else, the coffin form won’t stand out.
- Apply a base coat evenly to the nail bed once you obtain the appropriate shape. Don’t forget to use an LED lamp if you have one. Always use a topcoat to protect the polish.
