Newspaper Nail Art :)

This is a young, fun and cool look to experiment with.. and also its really really simple to do!

All your'll need to recreate your own newspaper printed nails is nail varnish, a cotton wool pad, a newspaper, and some good old surgical spirit :)

This is my first attempt, which I tried a few months ago.

 Sorry about the state of my nails(There not AS bad anymore!), but I liked the colours!



So, firstly, you need to paint your nails. This may be stating the obvious, but stick to pale colours! I also found that the printing worked better on some polishes than others. I am using Barry M 'Berry Ice Cream'.


Next up, saturate the cotton pad with surgical spirit, and place a piece of newspaper onto the cotton wool.

Place onto the nail and press down firmly. Making sure the newspaper is covered in surgical spirit, hold against the nail for about 20 seconds.

Carefully remove the newspaper and cotton wool, and there you have your newspaper nails!


This looks best with a top coat over to finish it off :)
