Loreen's 'Wolverine-like' nails - that aren't actually a tribute to the X-Men character - are out of this world.

Last night, the 39-year-old became the first woman in history to win Eurovision twice.

The singer, who previously triumphed in 2012, scored a total of 583 points after the public and jury votes were combined.

Narrowly behind in second place was Finland’s Kaarija, who scored 526.

The win also ties her native Sweden with Ireland as the nation with the most wins, with seven apiece.

After she was announced as the winner at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, Loreen was handed the trophy by last year’s winners, Kalush Orchestra of Ukraine.

She said: “This is overwhelming. I’m so happy and I’m so thankful.

“Thank you for this, this is for you.”

As well as her epic on-stage performance, viewers have been taken aback by her epic nail game.

One viewer wrote: “New Wolverine film looks different.”

Someone else aded: “Who knew Wolverine had such a voice! Not sure why she was getting attacked by invisible ninjas though?”

While another joked: “Wolverine’s knocking out of the park at #Eurovision.”

Speaking about her nails, Loreen explained to Tyla why they were made out of stone.

"They’re made - not completely - but they’re made out of stone and I mean, the performance in itself has all the elements apart from water but then again I’m sweating, so!" she said.

"I just wanted to enhance the movements because I move a lot and this is energy so, it just came to me really and I enhanced them with my nails so you could see all of the movements that I do."

Loreen performed her dance-pop song 'Tattoo', while singing from an illuminated enclosed space on stage.

Her win means she equals the record held by Irish singer Johnny Logan, who triumphed at the contest in both 1980 and 1987.

The Ukrainian entry, the brooding electronic duo Tvorchi, scored a total of 243 points and placed sixth in the rankings.

Ukrainian presenter Julia Sanina, who is lead singer of the band The Hardkiss, was hugged by her co-hosts, Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon and Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, as the show came to a close.

Dixon said this year’s contest was something 'that will live in our hearts for a very long time'.

Loreen then took to the stage to perform 'Tattoo' for a second time.
