Mirror Chrome Coffin Nails
Disco-ball vibes on your fingertips? I’m obsessed with mirror chrome coffin nails—they’re sleek, reflective, and totally paparazzi-proof.

I file a crisp coffin shape, lay a gel base, then rub in chrome powder for that liquid-metal sheen.
Seal with no-wipe top coat, and boom: mega shine.
Try silver, rose gold, or gunmetal.
Pro tip: cuticle oil daily keeps the glassy finish flawless longer.
High-Contrast French Tips
If mirror chrome was your liquid-metal moment, high-contrast French tips are the mic-drop.
I love a crisp black tip on a sheer base—so editorial, so boss. Flip it with white on glossy espresso or matte navy for drama.
Square off the smile line, go diagonal, or outline the edges for graphic vibes. Finish with gel shine and watch compliments roll in daily.

Choose clear for ice, or AB for rainbow flickers.
Seal tight; I want bling that survives selfies and sips.

Because clean lines hit different, I map out negative space like a chic skyline on those sleek coffin tips.

Abstract Brushstroke Art
Swooping brushstrokes turn coffin tips into mini canvases. I swirl glossy pigments, layer wisps, and let negative space breathe.

Animal Print Edge
After those artsy brushstrokes, I’m craving something wild—Animal Print Edge brings the roar.
Think crisp coffin tips lined in leopard, zebra, or neon cheetah flicks; I love mixing matte nudes with glossy spots for contrast.
Add micro rhinestones at the cuticle, keep edges sharp, and boom—predator-chic.
I promise, your selfies pop, your vibe prowls, and compliments pounce nonstop, all day, every day.
Ombre Smoke Fade

Prism vibes, babe—on coffin tips, I buff holographic powder into a sheer milky base to cast that dreamy aura glow.
I blend blush at the cuticle, then seal with a glassy top coat so the shift beams.
Under daylight, they flash pink, lime, and blue; at night, they read ethereal. Pair with negative space, tiny stars, or a crisp French edge—instant glam.
Velvet Cat-Eye Magnetics
While the gel’s still wet, I glide a magnet over the curve of each coffin tip to pull a luxe, velvet beam that shifts as you move.

Negative Space Foil
After that mirror-crush moment, I go sleeker with negative space foil—tiny metallic fragments framing bare nail for a chic, airy vibe. I map clean cutouts with striping tape, press foil along edges, then seal.
