NEWSPAPER NAILS //

So I have recently started doing nail art to keep myself occupied while waiting for the little one to arrive. I'm not a professional or an expert on this but here's some ideas to try. 

The first one I tried to do is the newspaper nails. 

Here's how:

Step 1: paint your nails with the white nail polish (white will make the newspaper image pop out better.) Do two coats and let it dry.

example:

Step 2: Pour some rubbing alcohol in a small bowl (big enough to dip the newspaper clippings in with tweezers.)

Step 3: When your nails are dry, choose the newspaper clippings you want to use on your nails and dip it in the bowl of rubbing alcohol with your tweezers for 10-15 seconds. 

Step 4: Place the soaked newspaper clipping on your nail and press for 5 seconds covering the whole nail, remove the newspaper when the image has transferred to the nail.

(*important* do not leave the newspaper too long on your nails as it dries fast and the newspaper will stick to your nails. If it happens, dip a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and rub on the dried newspaper then remove it from the nails.)

example: 

Step 5: Proceed to do the same for the rest of the nails. Clean up by removing any excess newspaper or nail polish spilt on the side of your fingers with a q-tip dipped in nail polish remover. 

Step 6: Lastly, add a layer of top coat to seal the image to your nails and you're done! 

example:

Have fun! (*however the image from the newspaper transferred to your nails will not be as vibrant and clear as the image on the newspaper itself.)
