Newspaper nails - TUTORIAL

Image
Hi, Today I'll show you a very easy to do cute manicure. Here's what you need: a newspaper, rubbing alcohol, tweezers and of course, some nail polish. Firstly, apply a nude base color on your nails. I used 2 coats of Essie-Topless&Barefoot. Cut 10 pieces of newspaper. Take a piece of newspaper with the tweezers and put it in the rubbing alcohol. Then, apply it on your nail. Push it for about 5-10 seconds. Peel it off and here's what you get: Don't forget to apply a top coat after you peel the paper or else it will erase. I chose a glittery top coat from Flormar, but a clear one is good, too. This is it! Your manicure it done. What do you think?
