From chocolate browns to oxblood ombré.
When you plop down into your manicurist’s chair, you’re first asked to settle on a nail shape. Oval? Square? Stiletto? You’ve got options aplenty, but maybe you’ll consider coffin nails, aka the square-ish nails that get narrower toward the tip. Coffin nails have been popular for years, and they aren’t going away anytime soon — why would they?
