Gothic Star Press-On Nails, Coffin Long

Gothic Star, cut on coffin in a long length. The coffin silhouette is the most photographed shape in the category, and the flat tip gives any design a full canvas.

A long coffin shape

Tapered sides and a squared off tip. Coffin carries length better than any other shape. This is a long set. The first day is an adjustment, by day two your hands have retrained themselves.

Ten minutes on, two weeks of wear

Applied to a clean, oil free nail, expect around two weeks of wear. The design is moulded into the tip rather than painted on top, so there is no lacquer layer to chip. What ends a set is the bond underneath, which is why the prep step matters more than anything else.

Twelve sizes in every set

Every set carries twelve sizes across twenty four nails. Size both hands dry before any adhesive goes on. This set does not include glue. It is sold separately here, and it is free with any three sets.

How to apply

1. Prep. Wipe with the prep pad, push the cuticle back and buff the shine off. Thirty seconds a hand, and it is what buys you the second week.
2. Size. Lay the nails out and match every finger dry before any adhesive.
3. Press. Brush a thin line of nail glue down the centre of your nail, or use an adhesive tab. Press down for thirty seconds.
4. Go. Around two weeks of wear. To remove, soak in warm soapy water for five minutes and ease the nail off with a cuticle stick.
