7. **Tortoiseshell Elegance**
Advertisement
Inspired by traditional tortoiseshell designs, this elegant appearance combines amber, brown, and honey tones. The method consists in layering several colours and using specialised tools to produce organic, mottled patterns resembling natural tortoiseshell. The secret is layer by layer construction, allowing each to dry somewhat before adding the next. This produces depth and dimension that gives the design three-dimensional impression. Applying a high-gloss top coat polishes, shell-like finish that accentuates the realistic impression. On longer nails when the pattern has room to fully emerge, this style performs really nicely.
