Newspaper Manicure


Have anyone out there seen these cute newspaper manicures? Turns out they are very easy to create. I apologize that the one done below is a little bit messy since we didn't do a quick clean up.

So to get started there are the things you need:
Nail polish remover
Rubbing alcohol
Nail Polish - Base Color
Nail Polish clear coat
Newspaper
Q-tips

Steps to creating your own Newspaper Manicure:
1) Apply a solid color base coat. We used the color green. Make sure the polish dries completely.
2) Cut small pieces of newspaper.
3) Soak your finger nail in rubbing alcohol for 5 seconds.
4) Quickly place a piece of newspaper clipping on your nail you have just dipped in the rubbing alcohol. Push it firmly down on nail for a few seconds.
5) Carefully peel off newspaper. The nail should now have an imprint of the ink from the newspaper.
6) Use a Q-tip and nail polish remover to clean up your nail
7) Apply a clear top coat. This will prevent the ink from the newspaper to get rubbed off.
8) Repeat steps above for the rest of your nails.

This manicure is very cute and is easy to create. Why don't you guys all try it out and let me know how it turns out.
