“To thine own self be true”- well my own self is a nail art geek so what better way to celebrate 400 years since the death of Shakespeare? The plays represented here are Hamlet, The Tempest and Romeo and Juliet.

I painted these whilst watching the BBC’s Shakespeare Live! celebrations. It was a bit hit and miss but Judi Dench was as magnificent as ever so I’d recommend you check it out.
