Long Almond vs. Long Coffin: Which Western Nail Shape is Your Perfect Match?
Choosing the right nail shape is just as important as choosing the design. In 2026, the Western beauty scene is dominated by two iconic silhouettes: the Long Almond and the Long Coffin. While both offer a high-end, dramatic look, they convey very different vibes and flatter different hand types. At TsukiNails, we specialize in both. Let’s help you find your signature shape.
The Long Almond: The "Ultimate Elongator"
The Long Almond is the gold standard for elegance. Its tapered tip mimics the natural shape of the finger but adds dramatic length.
-
The Vibe: Sophisticated, "Quiet Luxury," and timeless.
-
Best For: If you want to make your fingers look longer and thinner. It’s perfect for those who love intricate marble or "Glazed Donut" finishes.
The Long Coffin: The "Baddie" Statement
The Long Coffin (also known as the Ballerina shape) is bold, edgy, and unapologetic. It features a squared-off tip that provides more surface area for complex art.
-
The Vibe: Trendy, powerful, and artistic.
-
Best For: If you love 3D charms, heavy chrome, or bold ombré designs. This shape is a favorite for influencers and those who want their nails to be the centerpiece of their outfit.
