Cowabunga dude! Its pizza time!

I know I know another blog post about nail art really?! really! It is happening! Remember TMNT? No? Well it stands for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!


There are 4 of them:

Leonardo - Blue - Katana Sword
Raphael - Red - Twin Sai
Donatello - Purple - Bo Staff
Michelangelo - Orange - Nunchaku



Other main characters include April, the news reporter babe in a one piece yellow jump suit and the wise old master rat Splinter.



Things you will need:

Dotting tools and nail polish!!!
optional - black nail art pen for April's belt buckle if you want to do April

Black - China Glaze: Liquid Leather
White - OPI: Alpine Snow
Yellow - Sally Hansen: Mellow Yellow
Green - OPI: Jade is the New Black
Blue - China Glaze: Electric Beat
Purple - Sephora by OPI: Domestic Goddess
Red - OPI: From A to Zurich
Orange - OPI: Hot & Spicy

Step One: Base
Seeing that it is the month of April I chose to do an accent nail dedicated to April the news reporter :D

Paint 4 nails green and one yellow. Wait till all the nails are dry then using the white nail polish paint a strip across all 5 nails. It is okay if it is mangled like mine! It will be perfected later, trust me! The reason for painting the white strip is to enhance the mask color later. Any color on top of green does not turn out right.

PS: my yellow doesn't have a white strip because it was still drying.


Step Two: Bandana

Paint blue, purple, orange and red on top of the white strips. Again do not panic if it is not perfect, it will be fixed!


Step Three: Eyes

Now using the dotting tool blot 2 white spots for eyes wait until they dry and using a smaller dotting tool blot 2 black dots for pupils! OMG ALMOST DONE!


Step Four: Cleanup

Remember the uneven white strips and colors going over board? Use the green to cover it up! Its just that easy because the green is darker than all the other color used especially the white!

Step Five: April

Using a black nail art pen draw a letter D and a - in it for the belt buckle and using a very fine dotting tool do little black dots for the belt loop holes.


COWABUNGA DUDE NOW YOU'RE DONE LIKE PIZZA DINNER!!!!
