French tip coffin nails are a classic design that you can always count on. They look especially nice in Fall and Winter, but they work great for any time of the year as long as your outfit matches! This is because French tips tend to be darker than other colors like baby pink or teal which makes them great transitional shades.
Take a look at most popular french tip coffin nail designs from the video below for a quick glimpse:
If you’re not sure what kind of color looks best with this style, try out some neutral tones such as black or dark grey; either one will go perfectly well. For lighter toned outfits though it may be a good idea to wear a more vibrant shade so everything isn’t too dull looking together. Coffin designs don’t have to match each nail across all fingers if you want something different from traditional french tips.
The great thing about this style is that you can do it with any color; pink, blue or even green looks especially nice on these long tips. You’ll probably want to keep the nails a little bit shorter than they normally are when doing french tip designs because of how intricate and different everything has become since starting at the cuticle area instead of near the end like normal manicures. Coffin nail art always gives off an edgy vibe while still looking super professional if done right!
Don’t forget to check below for some examples on coffin nail ideas and get inspired!
1 Neon Yellow French Tips
If you are looking for a different approach, color blocking the tips of your nails is another solid choice. It doesn’t necessarily have to be neon yellow—just any bright color will look great! If you decide to try this idea out, make sure that the line separating colors is straight and neat; otherwise it might ruin the entire look!
2 Slanted Tips And Diamonds
The nails have been painted a bright pink and the tips are slanted to the right instead of forwards as is often seen on other coffin nail designs. The diamonds help to break up the pink color and make these nails look very cool. Pink is a very feminine shade and looks great for parties, date night or any special occasion that you need your nails looking stupendous for.
3 White Thick Tips And Pearls
To create the look above, you should use clear nail polish to paint both tips and base of each finger. Once your nails are dry, draw white dots on the top of each finger with a toothpick or something similar. These simple pearls will take your manicure from drab to fab!
4 Clear And Coral French Tip Coffin
If you want an elegant look for a special event then this is a great design. It works well on its own, but you could also add some other colors and designs to the nails if you wanted a more glamorous manicure. The fruit decorations give it a cute and modern feel while the butterflies add a touch of glamour.
5 Rose Red V Tips And Designs
If you want to experiment with pink, then it makes sense to try out the French manicure. It is a feminine color that will enhance your hands and help you express yourself to the world. You can opt for something bright or subdued; both look great, depending on your mood. You can also add details like rose red tips or designs like a handpainted yin yang symbol, which is a great way to add interest and highlight your favorite features.
6 White V Tips And Designs
White v tips are definitely not something you see everyday, but they can make a gorgeous addition to your nails. To make this design really pop, go dark on the base of your nails and then highlight them with white polish. The contrast will accentuate the look and make it really cool!
7 Pink Cheetah Tips
This is a beautiful design that uses pink cheetah print to look like a nail wrap. It looks fabulous with nude nails and would also look good with beige or any other neutral color. The cheetah print stands out well against the pale background of the Nude gel manicure.
8 Thick Black French V Tips
A French manicure can be done with acrylic nails as well. The look is way different from the traditional, painted on French tips, but if you are looking for a long-lasting nail design that requires little maintenance this might be an option to consider. This sleek shape is perfect for women who lead busy lives and have no time to sit at the salon every two weeks. That said, if you have decided to get acrylic nails done, remember that they need to be filled in from time to time. Your finger will not look natural with a big bulge sticking out of it!
9 Colorful Tips
This is another design that will look good on its own or with an accent nail. Clear nails are perfect for creating beautiful designs and other colors can be added to them. The simplicity of this manicure makes it ideal for everyday wear, but it could also work well for other occasions.
10 Cat Eye Silver Tips
Coffin nails are a solid choice if you want to show off a particularly elaborate design. If you prefer matte nail polish, this is the easiest way to go with the style because it will look amazing with little effort! A thin black line can add edginess and coolness to your pretty manicure, so just draw a few straight lines with a dotting tool and you are good to go.
11 Light Brown Coffin French Nails
Ombre nail designs are huge, but putting several different colors together on the fingertips yields an even more impressive look. You can opt for a bridal or prom manicure that has several shades of pink and several hues of white blending together seamlessly to create a gorgeous effect.
12 Bungundy Coffin And Clear Tips
If you don’t feel like going bold, keep it simple yet chic. For this style, add a clear top coat on the tips of your nails—that will make them look like they were dipped in champagne! Colored tip designs may be trending this year, but shiny silver is still a classic choice for classy ladies everywhere.
13 Slanted Orange Tips
A yellow matte base with orange tips is a bright and bold way to wear the French manicure. It looks very stylish and gives off an aura of fun and vibrancy, which can provide you with a little pick-me-up when you need it most. Peppering in some silver or gold bling around the nails makes for an added detail that will certainly draw the eyes of onlookers. The yellow is flattering with any skin tone, so you can wear it at work or even to a formal affair.
14 White French Tips
This is a stunning design that looks good on both light and dark skin. Red has been a popular color for nails for several years now, but this modern twist makes it even more special. The black tips pop off the red background and make it easier to create a beautiful cat eye line.
15 Thick White V Tips And Metallic Silver
These are French tip coffin nails that have been dipped in a very light nude color then decorated with heavily thick white tips and metallic silver chain decoration. The deco features an intricate design which adds to the overall look of the manicure. This type of design takes more time to do, but the end result is worth it.
16 Reverse Diamond Tips
Ombre nails are super trendy this season, but you can easily create a similar effect without changing the color of your entire hand. Instead, just turn your French manicures into reverse French tips—and voila! The look is not only easy to achieve, but it also gives your mani an edgy feel that will draw all eyes on your hands. That said, the transition between colors cannot be perfect because it’s not supposed to be—this is an ombre manicure, after all!
17 Thick Black Tips And Diamonds
These nails have been dipped in a nude color and at the base are thick black tips. The perfect combination has been created by adding small diamonds which almost look like tiny stars sparkling against the darker background. These look fantastic with most outfits or accessories, but would probably go best with darker colors to really make them stand out.
18 Shiny Small Diamonds Tips
This is another beautiful color combination that looks awesome in the sunlight. The clear nail polish makes for an easy design and you can use just about any shape or size of rhinestone to make your own unique manicure. The dark background really brings out the shine of pink nail polish, making it perfect for parties and special occasions.
19 With Clear Tips
The overall look of these nails is very sleek, chic and stylish. The tips are in the form of a coffin shape which happens to be pretty popular at the moment. They have then been colored royal blue with clear stripes on each tip that is not filled in. This design can be worn for various occasions such as day time or night time depending on what color outfit you are wearing.
20 Black Line Tips
Small rhinestones in multiple colors are a great way to spice up your French manicure. But if you want ’em to really rock, include them on the top of your nails where everyone can see them. Metallic stones look amazing when they catch light, so don’t be afraid to go bold!
21 Colorful Tips
Clear nails are a great choice if you want to show off some impressive nail art. You can paint just your tips with one or two colors of the polish, be it matte or sparkly, for an amazing contrast. If you have colorful talons already but want to keep them natural looking, this is the way to go!
22 White V Tips And Blue Hearts
Nude pink gives off an incredibly natural impression, but it is also very fun and youthful. For added effect, you can easily add some bling to bring this look to another level. You can mix shapes like diamonds or triangles for something different.
23 With Tips And Diamond Lines
These elegant and classy nails are French tip coffin nails that have been dipped in a very light nude color with diamond lines covered in clear polish. These look particularly nice because of the way they contrast the dark blue background just behind the base of each nail.
24 Thick White Tips And Designs
Coffin nails are an absolute classic, but they can also make you appear old-fashioned. That said, adding clear polish to the tips of your coffin nails will allow you to wear this timeless nail design with confidence. The opaque white tip looks flawless against nude colored polish and is a wonderful way to update this look if you want something that is a little bit different.
25 Rose Gold Glitter V Tips
This is a great design that can be worn either during the day or at night. The nude nails and the rose gold tips look dramatic and striking against each other. The pink nail polish accentuates the shine of the rose gold glitter, creating a beautiful manicure.
26 Thick Burgundy V Tips
This is a very popular design that has been done by several nail artists. The black tips look really good against the pink background, and the burgundy color brings out the shine of the nails. Burgundy is also an ideal color if you are wearing black because it prevents your hands from looking washed out.
27 White Tips
This is a stunning design that shows off two different kinds of nail art. The nude and blue coffin nails is an awesome look on their own, but the white tips add a new twist. For a slightly more unique look it would be possible to use cream instead of white for the tips.
28 Diamond Tips

Metallic silver is a bold and dramatic color that looks great on all skin tones. The clear tips add to the glamour of this design, creating an eye catching look that will keep people guessing where you got your nails done. Metallic silver nail polish can be worn year round and always makes for a statement over other colors.
31 Reverse Black Tips
If you love mint, you can wear it on your nails with a classy look. Yes, mint green is still considered more of a youthful color, but if you use the right technique to create this look on your tips, then you can make them appear sophisticated and modern. I recommend painting two coats of mint over the white base and then adding reverse black tips to your nails.
32 Matte Black And Light Brown
For a more simple look this design is a great option. The nails have been given a matte finish which keeps them looking elegant and sophisticated. This style can be worn on its own, but you could also create an accent nail with the same color combination to make it even better.
33 Diamond Lines And White Tips
Orange is a wonderful color that will look good on all skin tones and with just about any outfit. That said, you can take this shade and create a one-of-a-kind nail art design by adding clear lines of diamonds to your nails. This unique design gives the appearance of orange acrylic nails, but it also looks so much classier and more elegant.
34 Diamond And Thick White Tips
If you are looking to paint your nails, but do not want to opt for the overly simple French manicure or are bored of this particular design, why not try these baby pink acrylic gel coffin nails with diamond and thick white tips. They are bound to make heads turn when you walk in a room because they are so different from anything else out there.
35 Thick Lavender Tips
Lavender is a gorgeous color that looks wonderful with almost any style, from classic to modern or bold and bright. It makes for very good nail art since it pairs well with many different colors and styles. You can opt for various hues of lavender and combine them together in one design or you can simply paint your nails in the perfect shade. If you choose the latter, consider adding some thin black horizontal lines for added style and character.
36 With Gold Stars And Tips
Coffin nails are great for creating an artistic effect on your fingers. They are elongating and very sculptural, with the end of each nail being cut short to create a deep V-shape. This is one of the most elegant nail designs around, so it looks good with formal wear or against anything casual you own.
37 Cheetah And Reverse Gold Tips
Matte burgundy is a wonderful shade that will look good on every skin tone and with any type of outfit. That said, you can make this color work even better for your individual style by adding matte white tips to your nails and then painting them with a fabulous cheetah design that uses the inverse gold chrome as its base.
38 Matte White And Pink French Nails
A matte finish is the perfect way to make your French manicure feel fresh and exciting. Adding a subtle touch of pink polka dots will give it just enough pizzazz, without compromising on style points. A leopard print design at the base is an excellent option if you want to switch up your traditional French tips with something that seems more modern. After all, animal prints are the hottest trend in nails this year!

This is a great design for holidays and parties and looks awesome with the heart shaped glitter tips. The black tips really stand out against the silver background and they look awesome when the light hits them.

Black nails are a powerful statement, and they make your hands appear more elegant, making it the ideal polish for special occasions or an event.

I love adding silver chrome to the tips of my nails because it looks modern and unique.
48 Gold Lines
A burgundy French manicure is a gorgeous and sensual way to bring attention to this area of the body. It adds tone and color to the fingers, as opposed to playing down what you already have, so it makes for a very confident look.

Q&A
What are french tip coffin nails?
French tip coffin nails are a classic trend that’s perfect for women who want an intense yet cohesive outfit since you can add this touch to all of your nails or just one hand. This look is appropriate year round since lighter colors keep things cool during summertime and warmer hues work surprisingly well during wintertime!
Different colors in the same hue can be used to make nail art; however, you don’t have to stick to it. You may also give it a go with popular designs such as hearts or stars, but keep in mind that bling is the name of the game here, so everything should appear more gleaming! This style is most suited for everyday activities since outfits are typically more laid-back and fun, although a dash of color may complement an outfit surprisingly well during formal occasions.
What color goes well with french tip coffin nails?
The most popular color to wear on coffin nails is black. This makes sense considering that the shape of these nails looks more edgy and stylish with this dark hue. However, some people do like to switch it up a bit by wearing reddish or brown hues instead – it all depends on your personality!
Whether you go for black, red or brown there are quite strict guidelines when it comes to choosing colors so stick with lighter shades as these will make your nails appear longer and stand out from your finger even more. If you want something bold, choose a bright red nail polish shade as this color is very extreme but adds a fun twist to any outfit.
Remember that darker colors create contrast against lighter ones which helps make them stand out more against the white that is your nail bed. So if you want a color to stand out stick with black, burgundy or chocolate brown which will be very visible despite being darker colors.
If you have a neutral outfit then why not go for nude colored french tip nails? This is a great option as it allows more of your hands and fingers to show – making them appear longer and leaner while also matching your natural skin tone.
Wearing French manicure nails can be either formal or casual depending on what colors you choose so it’s important to know what colors go well together if you want to dress up differently from usual! For example, wearing bright shades like pink and orange alongside gold jewelry will give most outfits an elegant touch. But wearing dark hues like red and black together with silver jewelry will give off a more edgy look.
If you want to wear your nails in more casual settings then you can choose lighter colors like white, nude and pastel shades for french manicure nails. These will suit most outfits and even be appropriate for work!
No matter what color of French tip nails you want to wear it is important that the shade matches your personality – so if you want something bright and bold then don’t be afraid to try pink or red acrylics!
