Newspaper Nails

I have been admiring this nail art design for quite some time and decided to give it a go yesterday, I couldn't be happier with the results. It is soooooo simple and easy to do, what you will need:

• Vodka or Rubbing alcohol.
• Newsprint or pages from a book ( any print on non glossy paper will do)
• Base coat
• Top coat
• A nail polish of your choice, a lighter colour will work best.

Basically you will paint your nails as usual, a base coat to start then two layers of the colour you have chosen to use.
You must wait till these layers are completely dry, otherwise when you come to apply the newsprint it will get stuck and make a giant mess.
You will then need to put a little vodka or alcohol into a receptacle ( small glass,. I just like using the word receptacle) and dip the nail/tip of your finger into the alcohol for about 5 seconds. Whilst the nail is still wet apply the newsprint over the top and press down till the words have transferred onto the nail. If you are having difficulties I found applying a little more vodka on top of the print will get it to transfer easier.
Now just peel off the paper, the words should be on the nail, you just need to let it dry for a few seconds more then apply your top coat, which will seal in all those lovely words and make you nail nice and shiney.
Oh the newsprint may also transfer onto the skin surrounding the nail, but never fear a cotton bud dipped in nail varnish remover will take it away no problemo.
Hope this helped and you give it a try, it really is that simple and leaves you with such a unique and eye catching nail art.

I have used Models Own Peach Puff and this is the end results.
