DIY: NEWSPAPER NAILS
10:10 AM-001.JPG)
Lets talk Nails...
When i first saw this, i thought it would be so hard to achieve because of its fancy look but really its so simple.I came across it during my usual surfing on the net .
I tried it on my Sister's nails , but the letters didn't come out clear because we didn't let the base colour dry enough ( i guess we were so eager)
Below is how to get your fancy nail using an old
newspaper.
Things needed
- Nail Polish remove
- Base Color - Any Light Colored Nail Polish
- Newspaper cut up into 10 little squares big enough to fit on your nails
- Methylated Spirit/ Alcohol (Vodka)
- Apply two coats of your base colour. It can be a light pink, blue, nude, grey or even white color (Tip: Turn off your a/c or fan when you are painting your nails, this helps the polish apply better and prevents air bubbles from forming on the surface)
- Let your nail polish dry completely aleast for an hour.

- Pour your methylated spirit/ alcohol into a small bowl/dish. Dip one of your newspaper squares into it to wet it/ or dip one finger into the spirit or vodka.
- Carefully place the newspaper square on your nail and hold it firmly in place for a few seconds. You will have to be really careful here as the newspaper tends to slip, thus smudging the ink on your nails, that’s no good
- Press it down for a few seconds and then gently peel off the newspaper
- Do the same for every nail
- Finish off your nail art with your favorite topcoat
- as usual for shine and protection
- Clean off any excess polish from around your cuticles with a q-tip dipped in nail polish remover
- Rock your fancy nails :)
I told you it easy lolol
Let me know what you think?
