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

5. Gilded Swirls & Textured Drama

This set is pure drama! Long, sharp coffin nails featuring glossy black, intricate gold and black glitter swirls on a sheer base, and a fully textured black accent nail. The contrast between the smooth gloss, the sparkling swirls, and the rough texture is incredibly eye-catching.

• How to Recreate:
  1. Apply base coat. Paint some nails glossy black.
  2. For the swirl nails: Apply a sheer nude or clear base. Use a fine nail art brush ☍ to create swirls using gold glitter liner ☍ and black polish. You might want to do one color, let it dry (or cure if gel), then add the second.
  3. For the textured nail: Apply black polish. While it’s still wet (or use a layer of wet top coat/gel), sprinkle black glitter ☍ or even finer flocking powder/acrylic powder ☍ over the entire nail. Gently pat it down. Don’t apply a top coat over this one if you want to keep the texture rough. Alternatively, use black caviar beads ☍ pressed into wet polish or gel.
  4. Apply glossy top coat ☍ only to the glossy black and swirl nails.
