LFW Inspired: Tortoiseshell Nail Art











I should really start by apologising for my long absence from the blog, I've been incredibly busy with uni, I have pretty important exams coming up in a few weeks so something had to give and it was blogging.

However I have been following some of the London Fashion Week coverage and read the House of Holland post by Anna from Vivianna Does Makeup (here) and could not resist a little procrastination in the form of tortoiseshell nail art, I mean who couldn't?

I rummaged through my nail colours looking for something along the lines of beige, yellow, orange and brown... This is the best I could come up with, not bad but not fabulous, so if anyone has any colour suggestions I would love to hear them!

I started with 2 coats of a Ciate Nail Varnish in Cookies and Cream, I then used a hair pin to add random dots in Big Yellow Taxi, Speed Dial and Jack Wills Clayton Nail Varnish in Moss. I finished with a dab of gold glitter on my ring finger and the Top Coat I used was Sally Hansen Diamond Shine but any glossy polish will do the trick!

What do you think?
