Get the Look: Trendy Tortoiseshell Manicures for Every Season

Tortoiseshell manicures have been making waves in the nail industry for a long time now, and it’s easy to see why. This trendy look features a jelly nail base shade with a tortoiseshell pattern on top, creating a chic and sophisticated design that your clients will love.

Creating tortoiseshell nails is simpler than you may think. You can achieve the tortie look using fun tortoiseshell foils available at Lecenté or by applying a lighter colour as a base and then layering darker shades on top – usually jelly gels are used for this. Often oranges, browns, and black are mainly used to create the recognised look. While these shades may sound like they belong in Autumn, tortoiseshell nails are actually perfect for the Summer months too. By incorporating brighter jelly gels, you can create a warm and stylish look that is perfect for any season.

One of the best things about tortoiseshell nails is that they are easy to create, but the end result looks impressive and professional and are sure to impress your clients.

There are a few different ways to achieve the tortoiseshell look. You can use tortoiseshell foils for a quick and easy application, or you can create the design using jelly gels and gel colours. With the right tools and techniques, you can create a variety of stunning looks.
