Tools

I used:

• Rimmel 60 Seconds 703 White Hot Love
• Barry M Confetti Liquorice 319
• Rio Professional Nail Art Pen in Black
• Rimmel Lasting Touch Ultra Shine Top Coat

Step 1

Paint your nails white.

Step 2

Paint all your nails, except the ring finger on each hand with the confetti.

Step 3

With the black pen, draw a treble clef in the middle of each ring finger (you may need a friend to help you on your dominant hand). I used the dotting tool as a pen and squeezed gently. This may take some practice so don't launch straight into doing it on your final nail design! Then add some musical notes around it. I did one either side but you could do more or less, as you see fit.

Finally, cover over the design in a top coat to protect it.

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• 'Collection 2000 Manicure 103 French White'
• 'Model's Own Pen Black'
• 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'  
• A copy of the music for reference

Step 1

Paint your nails white. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Using the black pen, draw five lines for the stave across each nail. Start by drawing the central one across the middle of your nails and then add the others either side so that the stave is central on your nail.

Step 3

Add the note heads to the stave, starting with the little finger on your right hand. You could use the same music as me ("Hedwig's Theme" from the Harry Potter films) or you could chose your own music. However, the fewer the number of notes in the bar, the easier it is to fit on your nails. Don't forget the accidentals (flats and sharps)!

Step 4

Add in the stems for all the notes, noting whether they go up or down.

Step 5

Add in the slurs to the music

Step 6

On your thumbs paint a treble clef. You could also add random notes or different clefs if you wanted; this part is pretty much up to you as to what you want.

Step 7

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

 
Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
