newspaper nail art. this idea is a different spin on simple nails but also fits with my book/writing themed life!! follow the steps for bookish nails:-)
step 5.
step 1.
clear your nails of of any left over varnish and paint a pale colour on your clean nails. I chose cavier but any white, light grey or pale pink will work just as well.
step 2.
paint your nails with a few coats and then add a clear coat to help the colour stay. make sure they're completely dry so as not to leave imprints when you press the newspaper clippings on later.
step 3.
next cut out ten bits of newspaper and cut them to slightly bigger than your nails.
step 4.
dip the newspaper clippings in water and let the excess drip of briefly then press firmly onto the nails. avoid moving the newspaper at all when pressing onto the nail so the ink doesn't smudge.
leave the cutout on the nail for about one minute before removing the newspaper taking care not to smudge the ink.
step 6.
now remove the newspaper cutting slowly and apply a clear top coat. this is essential to stop the ink from smudging.
step 7.
and voilà!!!!!
newspaper nails, easy and quick!!
