Get Nailed! DIY Newspaper Nails

Newspaper Nails -
Okay this one is so cool- but with coolness comes great difficulty. I've commissioned the help of a pair of tweezers to pull this manicure off with ease.


1- Cut 10 squares of newspaper clippings up (make sure that they are larger than the perimeter of your nail)
2- Apply a base coat of polish to your nails (you can use any color, but try and keep it light and neutral so the newspaper print shows up nicely!)
3- Once your nails are completely dry, submerge them each finger in alcohol one by one -NOT nail polish remover- for a few seconds each
4- Now it's time to apply your news clipping! Wrap the news clipping around your nail and press for 3 seconds. Make sure you are doing this finger by finger (so soak, then wrap per finger)
5- Peel news clipping off with aforementioned tweezer and VUALA! - 1 down and 9 more fingers to go!
6- Once you have tattooed all of your nails with the print, apply a layer or two of top coat for shine and protection!

Fashionable Regards!
