The Newspaper Nail Design


Absolutely loving this nail design...Its soooo easy to achieve aswell.
First of all, you would need:
  • A pair of scissors to cut out pieces of the newspaper
  • Newspaper (does not necessarily have to be newspapers, could be bits from a text book or comic strips)
  • Base coat
  • Light coloured nail varnish
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Top coat nail varnish

Step 1: 
Apply the base coat on your nail (this would help to protect your natural nails)
Step 2:
Make sure your nails are completely dry, then paint your nails with a light coloured nail varnish (i suggest a light coloured nail varnish, so the letter appear more visible) 
Step 3: 
Wait until the nail polish is dry, then pour some of the Rubbing alcohol into a small container or tub, and dip your nail into it.
Step 4:
Taking the pieces of newspaper (or comic strips) press it onto your nail firmly for about 10-15 seconds, then slowly peel it off
Step 5:
Then apply a top coat of clear nail varnish (this would help to prevent the newspaper words from rubbing off or smugging, and would also provide shine to the nail.

And there you are, your own newspaper nail design =)
