What's it going to be then, eh?

Polishes used:
Koh  '185 Coral'
Herôme W.I.C.  'Utreg 173'
Various acrylic paints my little sister kindly lent me, 
and the whole is finished off with a matte top coat.

Looks like I'm on a bit of a roll with the more detailed nail art I used to do. If 'two' can count as 'on a roll',  anyway. Gotta start the rolling somewhere. Err, anyway. Based on what (I think) is the most recognisable book cover for Anthony Burgess' 'A Clockwork Orange'. Another one of those designs I've been wanting to do for ages but kept putting off - check!
The rest of my hand has a bit of a erm, McNail vibe going on with the colour scheme. I toyed with doing the rest in orange for obvious reasons, but that didn't link back to the book cover, which was first and foremost my intention. I meant to show the design next to the actual book cover, but my copy is currently on loan so the badge got the spotlight!
