7. **Tortoiseshell Elegance**

This elegant look draws inspiration from classic tortoiseshell patterns, blending amber, brown, and honey tones. The technique involves layering multiple colors and using specialized tools to create natural, mottled patterns resembling genuine tortoiseshell. The key is building the design layer by layer, allowing each to partially dry before adding the next. This creates depth and dimension, giving the design a three-dimensional effect. A high-gloss top coat adds a polished, shell-like finish that enhances the realistic appearance. This style works particularly well on longer nails, where the pattern has ample space to fully develop.
