Thunderbirds are go! Thunderbirds nail art

This weeks nails were suggested by a friend, surprisingly when I looked on the Internet for inspiration no one appears to have published any versions of Thunderbirds nail. So I got down to designing my own. I drew them out first on paper templates so I could work out how to best represent each of the Thunderbirds. I'm still working on 5 so I painted my pinky finger pink and silver for the FAB1 car.

Colours - 

• Pink (I mixed red and white)
• LA Color Silver 
• Red 
• Blue 
• Yellow
• Green
• Black 

Method - 

Thumb -  use tape to separate your nail, and paint the third of your nail nearest the nail bed light blue, remove the tape and add a silver strip and finally a red tip to the nail, then add a white 1 on top of the blue section using a detail brush

Index Finger -  green base I couldn't find the right shade of green in my local shop so I mixed LA Colors Blue and Yellow to get the closest match.  Yellow stripe near the base of your nail, and a white 2 (use a really fine detail brush to get some accuracy if you aren't very good at writing on your nails)

Middle finger - red base, thick black stripe across the centre and a narrow silver stripe near the top, then place a white 3 under the black stripe

Ring finger - yellow base, 2 narrow red stripes near the tip and a black 4 near the base

Little finger -  light pink coat, match as closely to the car's colour as possible ( I mixed a tiny drop of red with white)

Remember to seal in your designs with a top coat of clear varnish! Thank you for reading!
