Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles




This animated series is part my growing up because its the TV series me, my sister and cousins are watching every weekends. We even have toys and T-shirts. They had a movie and another TV series early from 2000-2009, so I think most of us are familiar with them. So let's identify these turtles.

Leonardo or Leo. 
He is the  courageous leader and devoted student of martial arts. Wears a blue mask and wields two katana. He is the oldest of the four and the most skilled fighter of the turtles. Leonardo was named after Leonardo da Vinci.

Raphael or Raph 
The bad boy. Wears a red mask and wields a pair of sai. He is an intense fighter. His personality can be alternately fierce and sarcastic, and oftentimes delivers deadpan humor. Still, he is intensely loyal to his brothers and sensei. Raphael is good friends with Casey Jones. He is named after the Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, Raphael.


Michelangelo or Mike or Mikey  
Easy-going and free-spirited. Wears an orange mask and wields a pair of nunchaku. Michelangelo provides much of the comic relief. He is youngest of the four Turtles. While he loves to relax and eat pizza, this Turtle also has an adventurous and creative side. He is named after the Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Donatello or Don or Donn
The knowledgeable scientist, inventor, engineer, and technological genius. Wears a purple mask and wields the bo staff. Donatello is perhaps the least violent Turtle, preferring to use his knowledge to solve conflicts. He is named after the sculptor Donatello.












For my base color, I used BNC nail color number 630. To paint for their masks, I used an old liquid eyeliner brush. For Michelangelo, I used Caronia nail polish in Sun Kissed. For Donatello, Caronia nail polish in First Crush. I mixed Sansan nail polish in Warm Blue and BNC nail color number 611 for Leonard. Lastly, Sansan nail polish in Ruby Red for Raphael's mask. For their eyes, I used Caronia nail polish in White Satin and Sansan nail polish in Luxury Black.
