The Mama Do songstress's talons were created at Shoreditch salon Imarni Nails, where mega talented artists bring styles straight from the catwalk to the nail bar.

Stars like FKA Twigs, Daisy Lowe, Lily Allen and Charli XCX are also major fans.

Salon owner and the woman behind Pixie Lott's awesome nails, Imarni herself, told HuffPost UK Style how she did it:

"The look I created on Pixie Lott’s nails is actually really simple and easy to create at home!", she said.

"I started by prepping nails with Ciaté Marula Oil to soften cuticles then pushed them back with a cuticle stick to tidy nails and create a neat space for the manicure.

"The manicure itself was created with Red Carpet Manicure, which is a gel manicure you can use at home, in the shade White Hot.

"I painted the whole nail and then created the cut out negative space section using a Nail Art Striping Brush.

"You can use this to create any negative space shapes you like, I chose these curved, angular shapes which have a sixties retro feel.

"If you don’t want to use a gel you could use a regular nail polish such as Ciaté Paint Pot in Snow Virgin, or you could come into my salon at Box Park, Imarni Nails, where we can create the look for you!"
