When you see these tortoise shell nails they look so intricate, but breaking it down into layers like this makes them incredibly easy to do! You could wear them as an accent nail with black, a lovely deep red or maybe even a summery yellow. You could mix them up with other autumnal colours or go full on and paint them on every nail!

However you decide to wear your tortoise shell nails, you can guarantee people will notice them and ask you where you had them done! (don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me!)

I also made a tutorial for tortoise shell nails many many years ago using regular polish and cling film! It’s still a really great technique – although my nail painting skills and filming skills have improved quite a bit since then! So if you’re not wanting to use gel polish to get this effect then take a look at my blog post for that one here.
