Tutorial: Newspaper Nails



This one of the nail arts every single person can make! You don't need lots of color polishes, all kinds of nail art tools or a steady hand. Got curious?

The things you needs:
- Basecoat
- Base color polish of your choice.
- Rubbing alcohol or any alcoholic drink with a 70 percentage of alcohol or higher.
- A little bowl
- Newspaper
- Topcoat


Step 1; Put on a basecoat. Then put on your base color. I used Snow Motion from Catrice. Make sure your nails are completely dry.
Step 2; Put some rubbing alcohol in a bowl.


Step 3; Tear 10 little pieces of the newspaper. Take a good look at the newspaper. You need pieces with words, not pictures or any ads. Each pieces has to cover up one nail.
Step 4; Put one finger in the bowl with the rubbing alcohol. Wait 20-30 seconds to pull out your finger.


Step 5; Be quick! When you got you finger out of the alcohol place immediatly a piece of newspaper onto your nail. The desired words have to face downward.
Step 6; Press down the newspaper, hold still and wait 30 seconds before taking off the newspaper.


Step 7; When your nail is dry put a topcoat on top. Be careful because the ink of the newspaper on your nails can smudge.

Do this to every nail step by step and you'll have a fun newspaper nail art. There are a lot of steps to take and it looks a lot but it definitly is not.
Now I'm curious, how do your newspaper nails look like?!
