Square vs Coffin vs Stiletto Nails

Nail Shape Isn’t Just About Style

Every client asks the same question:
“Which shape lasts the longest?”

The answer depends on structure, lifestyle, and application technique.

Square Nails — The Most Durable

Square nails distribute pressure evenly and resist breakage.

Best for:
Clients who use their hands often or want long-lasting wear.

Coffin Nails — Balance of Style & Strength

Coffin nails reduce side impact while keeping a sleek look.

Best for:
Clients who want durability without sacrificing style.

Stiletto Nails — Most Fragile but Most Dramatic

Stiletto nails place stress on the tip, making quality and structure essential.

Best for:
Occasional wear, photoshoots, or statement sets.

Pro Insight

Longevity isn’t just about shape — it’s about using strong, flexible tips and reinforcing the apex correctly.

That’s why professional nail techs choose 3XL nail tips for extra-long sets.

 

Final Takeaway

If durability is the priority, square wins.
If balance is key, coffin is the sweet spot.
If drama is the goal, stiletto delivers — with the right products.
