What makes coffin nails special

The coffin shape tapers along the sides and flattens at the tip, like a ballerina's slipper. It flatters long and short nails alike, gives plenty of canvas for custom nail art, and photographs beautifully, which is why it's one of the most requested shapes in the studio.

Common questions

What are coffin nails?
Coffin nails — also called ballerina nails — taper in from the sides and finish with a flat, squared-off tip, like the silhouette of a coffin or a ballet shoe. They are the most requested shape in the studio because they read luxe and photograph beautifully.
Are coffin nails hard to maintain?
Not difficult, but less forgiving than a square or squoval. The tapered tip is narrower, so it carries more leverage. Fingernails grow about 3 mm a month, and that regrowth shifts the balance point sooner on a long coffin — which is why fills every two to three weeks matter more on this shape.
How long do coffin nails need to be?
The taper needs a little length to read correctly, so medium is usually the shortest that still looks like a true coffin. If you want the shape but work with your hands daily, a short coffin is a good compromise. Start shorter than your dream length on a first set — you can always add next time.
How much do coffin nails cost in Sarasota?
Every set is quoted individually based on length, shape, and nail art detail. Send your reference photos on WhatsApp and Clau confirms an exact, all-in price before you book. There is no fixed price list because no two custom sets are the same amount of work.
Can I switch to coffin from another shape at a fill?
Usually yes, if you have enough length to work with. Moving to a shorter shape is easy at a fill; moving to a longer coffin may need a new full set. Mention it when you book so the right amount of time is reserved.
