Coffin nails with geometric patterns create a modern, graphic manicure that emphasizes the sharp lines of the shape and adds a stylish, structured look. Stripes, triangles, intersecting lines and negative space details work especially well on the elongated coffin silhouette, making the design clean and visually striking.

- Prepare the nail surface: buff lightly, apply primer and cleanser.
- Build a smooth structure with base or builder gel and cure.
- Apply the main gel polish colour in 1–2 coats, curing each layer.
