Nail of the Week: Newspaper Letters

My sister sent me a link to this one, but I changed it up a little bit on how to do it.

What you need:

• base color polish of your choice (something light to contrast the letters)
• cotton rounds
• rubbing alcohol
• newspaper
• top coat

First, paint your nails the base color you would like (1-2 coats to cover it evenly). Feel free to try an accent nail too!

Secondly, take a cotton round and place a bit of alcohol on it. (I folded mine in half after I dabbed it so it wouldn't be too saturated). Place aside.

Thirdly, cut out pieces of newspaper that will cover your whole nails (you can spot words you would like to use as well).

Fourthly, place the piece of newspaper, letters side down, on your nail aligned how you wish. While holding it there, place the cotton round on top and squeeze a bit to get the newspaper slightly wet.

Fifthly, after you have pressed down over all parts of the nail, slowly peel the cotton and paper off. Then, seal with top coat.

I really enjoyed this project and it didn't take very long at all to do. If you find that you don't like one nail, simply take the cotton round and rub it off. It takes a little practice to get the look you want, but it's worth it.

Give it a try!
