Why Coffin works here
Straight taper to a flat tip — long, angular and editorial. With navy, the geometry does quiet work: adding intention to minimal color.
How to get the look
- Prep: remove old polish, soak off any gel properly, and shape into coffin with a glass file in one direction.
- Push back cuticles gently — never cut — and wipe each nail with isopropyl or a dehydrator so base coat actually grips.
- Decide length: shorter wears harder; longer photographs bigger. Match your real week, not your fantasy one.
- Lay down your base coat, then two thin coats of navy, capping the free edge each time — capped edges are the anti-chip secret nobody markets.
- Add the floral work in thin layers. Thin layers cure fully; thick ones wrinkle, bubble and lift within days.
- Seal everything with a quality top coat along the edge, oil your cuticles, and give hard tasks 24 hours before full wear.

FAQs
How do I ask my nail tech for this?
Show a photo (bookmark this page), then say: "Coffin shape, navy base, floral design." Clear references get better sets, always.
What skin tones suit navy best?
Navy reads beautiful across undertones — cool undertones can lean into its crisper register, warm undertones into its deeper side. When in doubt, test on one nail in daylight.
Is a coffin shape practical for typing?
A longer coffin asks for some adaptation — many people keep their dominant hand shorter or choose medium lengths for keyboard-heavy weeks.
