Why Coffin works here

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.
- Choose long tips or keep natural length conservative; maximum canvas for art, maximum main-character energy.
- Lay down your base coat, then two thin coats of deep plum, capping the free edge each time — capped edges are the anti-chip secret nobody markets.
- Add the duo-chrome 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
What skin tones suit deep plum best?
Deep Plum 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.
How long does a long duo-chrome deep plum nails set last?
With a dehydrator, quality base coat and capped edges, expect 10–14 days from gel and 5–7 from regular lacquer. Press-on versions typically hold 1–2 weeks with glue.
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.
