Newspaper Nails (now that's creating ad space)


Hello all-

My how to directions are inspired from doing my nails. I like to keep my nails nice looking but also keeping them healthy is equally important. I learned how to do this from a YouTube video and thought is was great. Hopefully I can translate the technique using only words.  

How to get Newspaper Nails

      I.         What you need
·      10 small newspaper cut outs (approximately the size of your finger nail)
·      1 cup of room temperature water
·      Your favorite light color nail polish (I like ones without chemicals)
·      Clear top coat polish
·      2 Cotton Balls

    II.         Started to Finish
·      Start with clean non-painted finger nails
·      Go over each nail with your chosen nail polish color.
·      Repeat again; for a completion of two coats.
·      Let your nails completely Dry!
·      Grab one of your cotton balls, dip it in your cup of water until is completely saturated, place back on the table
·      Grab one of the prepped news paper cut outs and place it on one of your dry nails
·      Place the wet cotton ball on the newspaper cutout over your nail
·      With the ball of your finger pressing down hard on the wet cotton ball move your finger in a left and right motion for 30-45 seconds
·      Remove the cotton ball and the newspaper from your nail
·      Using the remaining 9 pieces of newspaper repeat this process 9 more times until every polished finger has been ink marked using the newspaper cut out and wet cotton ball
·      Let your nails completely dry!
·      Go over each nail with the clear top coat polish
·      Let your nails completely dry and your are finished
