Toffee Single Bloom nails
Toffee left plain apart from one small Milk Glass flower with an Walnut centre.
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.
The squoval shape means straight sidewalls and a soft tip: anything built on a grid or a straight line sits truest here.

Questions about Toffee Single Bloom
Is Toffee Single Bloom 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 Single Bloom?
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 Single Bloom work on short nails?
A squoval works short: you lose canvas width rather than length, so the motif just sits closer together.
How many coats does Toffee Single Bloom 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.
