Gray & White Swirl Coffin
Description of Design:
These bold coffin nails combine soft nude pink with crisp white and cool gray swirl detailing for a modern abstract manicure. Some nails feature the swirling pattern across the entire nail, while others use the same design as an oversized French tip over a glossy nude base.
