Toffee Colour Block nails
Toffee on one part of the nail, Milk Glass on the other, split by a taped line.
3 bottles: Toffee, Milk Glass and Walnut. Toffee and Milk Glass are close in tone, so the design is tonal rather than graphic. It shows up in daylight and softens indoors. The bottles are not all the same finish (crème and sheer), so the pattern picks up light differently from the ground.
Round nails are the setting: minimal length, a curve that matches the finger, and the least fragile free edge in the catalogue.

Questions about Toffee Colour Block
Is Toffee Colour Block hard to do at home?
Yes. There is no freehand work that has to be accurate. Budget about 30 minutes for a full set, and three colours means three chances for something to bleed, so cure between each one rather than working wet on wet.
What polish do I need for Toffee Colour Block?
3 bottles: Toffee (crème), Milk Glass (sheer) and Walnut (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.
Does Toffee Colour Block work on short nails?
Round is already the shortest shape here, so yes, this is one of the designs that works at almost any length.
How many coats does Toffee Colour Block need?
More than you would expect. Milk Glass is translucent, so the colour builds over three thin coats rather than covering in two. Stop wherever you like the depth — that is the point of a sheer.
