A bold jewel-toned manicure featuring long coffin nails covered in an abstract stained-glass pattern.

Step By Step Breakdown:
- Prep the nails and shape them into long coffin silhouettes with straight sidewalls and squared tips.
- Apply a base coat and cure completely.
- Paint a soft pink foundation across each nail and cure.
- Use a fine liner brush to sketch irregular geometric sections across the nail, varying their size and direction.
- Fill individual sections with hot pink, magenta, berry, and pale pink shades.
- Alternate the colors so neighboring sections have enough contrast to create the mosaic appearance.
- Using black gel polish and an ultra-fine liner brush, outline every colored section with thin irregular lines.
- Extend the black outlines from edge to edge so the individual pieces resemble sections of stained glass.
- Refine any uneven areas while keeping the shapes intentionally varied and abstract.
- Seal the complete design with a high-gloss top coat for a smooth, glass-like shine.
