VIA EDGAR AND FEDERAL EXPRESS Securities and Exchange Commission Attention: Owen Pinkerton, Esq. Re: TNT Designs, Inc. Registration Statement Form SB-2, filed April 8, 2005 File No. 333-123941

Dear Mr. Pinkerton:

Please be advised that this firm has recently been retained as special securities counsel to TNT Designs, Inc. (“TNT”). Reference is made to the Commission’s comment letter dated October 28, 2005 relative to TNT’s Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement Form SB-2. In response to these comments, TNT has caused to be filed Amendment No. 2 to the Form SB-2, a redlined copy of which is enclosed with the original correspondence to show revisions to the filing. The purpose of this correspondence is to illustrate those changes to the Commission and provide explanation, where necessary. The items herein bear the same numbering as the Commission’s comment letter.

General

1.

Please note that amendments in a registration statement must be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are filed. In this regard, we note that you this amendment is not properly numbered as amendment no. 1. Se Rule 470 of Regulation C.

The most recently filed amendment to the Form SB-2 has been properly numbered as “Amendment No. 2.”

Please advise us as to why you have included the paragraph below the cross-references to the “Risk Factors” section in which you state that the prospectus may be supplemented or amended and that investors should read any such amendment or supplement before investing. Since this offering will be a continuous offering and preliminary prospectuses will presumably not be circulated, please advise us as to why this paragraph is necessary. We note, for example, that only the final prospectus will be circulated to and any supplements filed would be stickered to the final prospectus. Please revise or advise. This comment also refers to similar language found on page 16.

The language regarding amendments to the prospectus has been deleted.

Please avoid using generic conclusions such as “adversely affected” when describing the risks’ effects. For example, without limitation, we note that on page 9 you state that your “business” may be adversely affected by a unilateral termination of your agreement with Radico or your inability to meet minimum requirements. Explain the specific effect this risk will have on your business. Replace this, and similar language, with specific disclosure of how you, your business, financial condition and results of operations would be affected by the facts you describe.

The references to TNT’s business being “adversely affected” has been revised to state the following:

TNT CURRENTLY IS A PARTY TO ONLY ONE ALLIANCE AGREEMENT AS THE SOURCE FOR PRODUCTS WE INTEND TO SELL AND SHOULD THERE BE A BREACH UNDER THE AGREEMENT BY EITHER PARTY OR A PROBLEM OBTAINING PRODUCT UNDER THE AGREEMENT WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONSUMMATE SALES AND GENERATE REVENUE AND PROFITS.

Our sole alliance agreement for the importation and sale of our products is with Radico Import Export Ltd., an Indian corporation. Should we have difficulty obtaining apparel products from Radico or should we have difficulty entering into other alliance agreements for importing products from other sources, our business operations may be unable to consummate any sales and we may required to cease operations.

TNT IS DEPENDENT ON ENTERING INTO STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AND DISTRIBUTORSHIP AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD PARTIES FOR PRODUCTS THAT TNT INTENDS TO SELL.

As a wholesaler and distributor of women’s accessories and cosmetics, TNT does not produce nor does it intend to produce any products that TNT intends to sell, but rather TNT intends to obtain these products from third parties under alliances or distribution agreements TNT may enter into. TNT is currently a party to a single agreement. In the event TNT’s current alliance agreement is not successful or TNT can not enter into additional alliance or distribution agreements with parties for products that are acceptable to consumers, may be unable to effectuate sales or conduct revenue generating operations.

TNT HAS YET TO ATTAIN PROFITABLE OPERATIONS AND BECAUSE TNT WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO FUND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS, TNT MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY IN ITS EFFORTS TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

TNT has incurred a net loss of $27,772 for the period from February 17, 2004 (inception) to September 30, 2005, and has no revenues to date. The successful implementation of our business plan is dependent upon future profitable operations from the development of our business. Our financial statements included with this prospectus have been prepared assuming that TNT will continue as a going concern. A going concern paragraph has not been issued in that TNT currently has adequate cash on hand to fund our current monthly operating expenses for a period of five (5) months. However TNT may fail to remain a going concern should we seek to expand business operations and effectuate the TNT business plan as anticipated (See “Plan of Operation” herein) without additional financing. If TNT is not able to achieve revenues or obtain financing, then TNT may not be able to commence revenue generating operations or to continue as a going concern.

THERE IS NO ACTIVE TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, OUR INVESTORS MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY IN ATTEMPTING TO SELL THEIR SHARES.

There is currently no active trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained. TNT currently plans to have its common stock quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.’s OTC Bulletin Board upon the effectiveness of this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. In order to do this, a market maker must file a Form 15c-211 to allow the market maker to make a market in our shares of common stock. At the date hereof, Ms. Tandon, the sole officer and director of TNT is not aware that any market maker has any such intention. TNT Designs cannot provide investors with any assurance that TNT’s common stock will be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. Further, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead a dealer quotation service for subscribing members. If TNT’s common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or if a public market for TNT’s common stock does not develop, then investors may have difficulty selling the shares of our common stock. If TNT establishes a trading market for its common stock, the market price of the common stock may fluctuate significantly and be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in operation results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of developmental stage companies, which may materially cause the market price of TNT’s common stock to decline.

SALES OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK INTO THE PUBLIC MARKET BY SELLING STOCKHOLDERS MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND COULD AFFECT THE ABILITY OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO REALIZE ANY CURRENT TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock, when and if such a market develops. When this registration statement is declared effective, the selling stockholders may be reselling up to 34.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of such registration statement, a substantial number of our shares of common stock which have been issued may be available for immediate resale when and if a market develops for our common stock, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline. As a result of any such decreases in price of our common stock, purchasers who acquire shares from the selling stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.

NASD SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

Securities and Exchange Commission

LEVY & BOONSHOFT, P.C.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (see above and the “Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters” section at page 14 for discussions of penny stock rules), the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and may cause the price of shares of our common stock to decline.

You disclose that a going concern paragraph has not been issued in that TNT currently has adequate cash on hand for your current monthly operating expenses which are nominal. We note that your cash balance has decreased significantly from the date of your audited balance sheet. In that regard, please advise us whether or not TNT still has enough cash on hand to cover monthly operating expenses for the next twelve months. Revise this risk factor and your discussion of liquidity on page 16 as necessary.

The disclosure in the risk factor and the plan of operations have been revised relative to TNT’s existing cash balance and monthly operating expenses.

                  advise us as to why you have included the paragraph below the
                  cross-references to the “Risk Factors” section in which you state that the

                  FOR

                Our
                  sole alliance agreement for the importation and sale of our products
                  is

                  products
                  from other sources, our business operations may be unable to consummate
                  any sales and we may required to cease operations.

                TNT
                  IS DEPENDENT ON ENTERING INTO STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AND DISTRIBUTORSHIP
                  AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD PARTIES FOR PRODUCTS THAT TNT INTENDS TO
                  SELL.

                As
                  a wholesaler and distributor of women’s accessories and cosmetics, TNT
                  does not produce nor does it intend to produce any products that
                  TNT
                  intends to sell, but rather TNT intends to obtain these products
                  from
                  third parties under alliances or distribution agreements TNT may
                  enter
                  into. TNT is currently a party to a single agreement. In the event
                  TNT’s
                  current alliance agreement is not successful or TNT can not enter
                  into
                  additional alliance or distribution agreements with parties for
                  products
                  that are acceptable to consumers, may be unable to effectuate sales
                  or
                  conduct revenue generating operations.

                TNT
                  HAS YET TO ATTAIN PROFITABLE OPERATIONS AND BECAUSE TNT WILL NEED
                  ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO FUND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS, TNT MAY
                  EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY IN ITS EFFORTS TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

                TNT
                  has incurred a net loss of $27,772 for the period from February
                  17, 2004
                  (inception) to September 30, 2005, and has no revenues to date.
                  The
                  successful implementation of our business plan is dependent upon
                  future
                  profitable operations from the development of our business. Our
                  financial
                  statements included with this prospectus have been prepared assuming
                  that
                  TNT will continue as a going concern. A going concern paragraph
                  has not
                  been issued in that TNT currently has adequate cash on hand to
                  fund our
                  current monthly operating expenses for a period of five (5) months.
                  However TNT may fail to remain a going concern should we seek to
                  expand
                  business operations and effectuate the TNT business plan as anticipated
                  (See “Plan of Operation” herein) without additional financing. If TNT is
                  not able to achieve revenues or obtain financing, then TNT may
                  not be able
                  to commence revenue generating operations or to continue as a going

                There
                  is currently no active trading market for our common stock and
                  such a

                  have its
                  common stock quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers
                  Inc.’s OTC Bulletin Board upon the effectiveness of this registration
                  statement of which this prospectus forms a part. In order to do
                  this, a
                  market maker must file a Form 15c-211 to allow the market maker
                  to make a
                  market in our shares of common stock. At the date hereof, Ms. Tandon,
                  the
                  sole officer and director of TNT is not aware that any market maker
                  has
                  any such intention. TNT Designs cannot provide investors with any
                  assurance that TNT’s common stock will be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board
                  or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. Further,
                  the OTC
                  Bulletin Board is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead
                  a
                  dealer quotation service for subscribing members. If TNT’s common stock is
                  not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or if a public market for
                  TNT’s
                  common stock does not develop, then investors may have difficulty
                  selling
                  the shares of our common stock. If TNT establishes a trading market
                  for
                  its common stock, the market price of the common stock may fluctuate
                  significantly and be significantly affected by factors such as
                  actual or
                  anticipated fluctuations in operation results, general market conditions
                  and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time
                  to time
                  experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have
                  particularly affected the market prices for the shares of developmental
                  stage companies, which may materially cause the market price of
                  TNT’s
                  common stock to decline.

                  of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public
                  market
                  could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock,
                  when and
                  if such a market develops. When this registration statement is
                  declared
                  effective, the selling stockholders may be reselling up to 34.6%
                  of the
                  issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result
                  of such
                  registration statement, a substantial number of our shares of common
                  stock
                  which have been issued may be available for immediate resale when
                  and if a
                  market develops for our common stock, which could cause the price
                  of our
                  common stock to decline. As a result of any such decreases in price
                  of our
                  common stock, purchasers who acquire shares from the selling stockholders
                  may lose some or all of their investment.

                NASD
                  SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY
                  AND SELL OUR STOCK.

            BOONSHOFT,
            P.C.

                In
                  addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and
                  Exchange Commission (see above and the “Market for Common Equity and
                  Related Stockholder Matters” section at page 14 for discussions of penny
                  stock rules), the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending
                  an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable
                  grounds
                  for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer.
                  Prior to
                  recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional
                  customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain
                  information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment
                  objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these
                  rules,
                  the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative,
                  low
                  priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.
                  The
                  NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to
                  recommend
                  that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your
                  ability to
                  buy and sell our stock and may cause the price of shares of our
                  common
                  stock to decline.

                You
                  disclose that a going concern paragraph has not been issued in

                  currently has adequate cash on hand for your current monthly operating
                  expenses which are nominal. We note that your cash balance has
                  decreased
                  significantly from the date of your audited balance sheet. In that
                  regard,
                  please advise us whether or not TNT still has enough cash on hand
                  to cover
                  monthly operating expenses for the next twelve months. Revise this
                  risk
