Red nail polish and long coffin nails are a match made in heaven – in this article, we have compiled over 30 stunning ideas for coffin red nail designs that will leave you speechless!
Red is one of the most popular colors for nail design, and if you’re using it on coffin nails you have so many different designs to choose from – you can go for full coverage, a mismatched look or just an elegant modern take on the classic French tips.
No matter which style you choose, coffin nails with red nail polish will always look elegant and timeless.
So how to choose the right shade of red for your coffin nails? Here are a few ideas!
- Bright red nail polish – bright colors are the perfect pick for the summer months as they highlight your darker skin tone (or naturally dark skin tones) beautifully, complimenting your look. Red is also a pretty versatile color so you don’t have to worry about matching your outfits with your nails.
- Dark red nail polish – dark red is commonly used in the winter months for holiday manicures, but you can start wearing it already in the fall.
- Chrome red nail polish – this modern shade of nail polish works great as a base for a special occasion, it’s quite a statement look so don’t go overboard adding too many elaborate decorating elements.
- Neon red nail polish – neon manicure is very popular in the summer months, for the same reason as the bright red nail polish options mentioned above. If you’re using neon colors, keep the design fairly simple and ideally combine it with another neutral base color.
- Glitter red nail polish – glitter nails are a pretty and easy choice for a special occasion, party or date night. It’s always a good idea to have at least one glitter nail polish in your beauty cabinet as it allows you to transform a simple everyday manicure into a more elevated look very easily.
- Ombre or Gradient nails – red nail polish is a great candidate to create a gradient manicure for your coffin nails, just make sure you select your five complimenting shades of red carefully so they work together seamlessly.
