Hey MelodySusie fam! I tried tortoiseshell nails for the first time, and y’all, those little spots gave me a run for my money. 🐢😂

I kept wondering if I needed one coat of blooming gel or a fresh layer every time I added more spots. And was I supposed to use straight black or a black jelly? My spots kept blooming all splotchy until I mixed my black gel with a little top coat. The edges finally softened, and watching the pattern come together was my favorite part. 🤎

I love how that warm amber looks next to the glossy cherry red! 🍒 If you’ve tried tortoiseshell, do you use one layer of blooming gel or add another as you build the design?
