10 Utterly Chic Black Coffin Nail Designs You Need to Try (DIY Tips Included!)

2. Matte Black & Glitter V-French Ombre

This design screams sophistication with an edge. The contrast between the stark matte black nails ☍ and the nude-to-black ombre nails is stunning. The sharp, V-shaped French tip outlined with dazzling silver glitter ☍ takes this look to the next level. It’s modern, chic, and surprisingly achievable.

• How to Recreate:
  1. Apply base coat. Paint alternating nails solid black.
  2. On the remaining nails, create a nude base. Once dry, use striping tape or a steady hand with a brush to create the deep V-shape with black polish towards the tip. Alternatively, try an ombre effect starting with nude at the cuticle blending into black at the tip (a sponge can help!).
  3. Use a fine brush or a glitter liner polish to carefully trace the V-shape with silver glitter.
  4. Apply a glossy top coat ☍ over the glitter/ombre nails.
  5. Crucially, apply a matte top coat ☍ over the solid black nails to get that signature velvety finish.
