1. Why is it called coffin nails?

Coffin nails, also known as ballerina nails, may have started with A-listers like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, but it has quickly overtaken the nail world. They're named for either the angular shape of a coffin or the flat toe of a ballerina's slipper and have a tight C-curve, tapered sides, and a straight free edge.

2. What does coffin shaped nails look like?

Ballerina nails (also known as coffin-shaped nails) are Kylie Jenner's signature nail shape. Ballerina nails are essentially the stiletto nail, but with a square rather than pointy tip. They're called ballerina nails or coffin nails because the shape resembles both a coffin and a ballerina's slipper.

The round edge elongates shorter nails with a wide nail bed, making it ideal for those of you who think your hands are a little 'chubby,' as it'll optically extend your finger length to make your hands look more slender.
