Day 5: Newspaper Nail Art Tutorial

I wanted to try a  wonderful and simple idea.  I was surprised how easy it was to create beautiful nails decorated with newspaper clippings. On my 1st try the nail was a bit blurry but not too bad so I kept it. I had problem with only my right thumb. I removed the color and redid it. Success:) Follow the steps and see how much fun it is.

All you need is nail color , rubbing alcohol, newspaper clippings, top coat and small container.

Apply light nail color 2 times. I chose white color. Let it dry before you proceed.

Pour rubbing alcohol in a small container and dip your finger for about 15 sec.

Press a small piece of newpaper clipping onto your nail for about 15 sec.

Slowly remove the paper from your nail. You can use text or pictures. I put Angelina Jolie's face on my thumb.

 

Finish all your nails and apply a top coat.

Clean up the black mark from the newspaper.

Some might have to be redone:) 


Voila! That's it. I hope you enjoyed them and had as much fun as I did. 



I must say I have received many compliments on my nails. I love them.! It was so much fun, I'll do them again.
Let me know how your newspaper nail art turned out.
