Newspaper Nails

The post title says it all and the images show you how to get them! Super easy..I haven't added any text as I think the pictures are really easy to follow but......

You must:
  • Make sure your nails are completely dry when attempting this. I waited a day for my nail varnish to dry before I tried this out.
  • When holding the newspaper over your nails, use more than one layer. If you use one layer of newspaper the ink doesn't transfer so well and just turns soggy! 
  • Hold your nail in the Surgical Spirit for at least 20 seconds. 
  • After you've completed the look apply a top coat to lock the ink in.




Surgical Sprit and a newspaper.

Leave nails to soak in Surgical Spirit for 20 seconds

Cover nail in 2-3 layers of newspaper
(works better than using one sheet)
Add a top coat to lock in the print!

What do you think of these nails, have you tried them? I'm looking forward to experimenting with other colours!

  5. It's so clever yet simple! White nail paint would look great with print on top!
