Amazingly Creative Newspaper Nails!!

This is so creative and has no limits, so much fun, so easy to do and the outcome is so cool!! 

To figure out how to create this.... Carry on reading! 

Step 1. Take off any nail varnish, if you want to file, reshape, buff, cut, or trim your cuticles now is the time to!

Step 2. Wash your hands, getting rid of any nail varnish remover that could effect the outcome.

Step 3. Paint your nails, I've chosen white because you can really see the text, this does work on other colours but stick to light, pale shades.

2 coats intensifies the colour.

Step 4. Rip out anything! Make sure it's in black, white and grey as colours don't seem to work so well :s

Make sure to look for different fonts, bolds, italics, lines, shapes, letters, even a Sudoku puzzle! 

*TIP* the dark greys and blacks with white writing look amazing! 

Step 5. The reason this works! Surgical Spirit, can't be hard to find i had some in my cupboard!

Pour into an egg cup, or any small dish.

Step 6. Only when your nails are totally totally dry this will work, a test to see if your nails are dry is if you lightly tap your nails together, if they are tacky or sticky they aren't dry enough!

Dip one nail at a time into the surgical spirit for about 5 seconds, take it out and grab a bit of newspaper, put in on the nail and apply a decent amount of pressure, hold this for about 7-8 seconds, 

Step 7. Lightly peel off the newspaper to reveal the transferred ink perfectly! Repeat until all your nails are done! Remember to place the newspaper upside down, diagonal there really are no limits!

Step 8. If one of your nails doesn't turn out so good, never mind, just dip it back into the spirit and apply another bit of newspaper!

It won't effect the first pattern at all.

Step 9. If you want you could put a layer of clear over the top to seal in the ink and add shine, but BE CAREFUL as there is a change this will smudge the ink, I use clear anyway but really quickly, in 3 strokes then it doesn't smudge :D

Step 10. All done! Get prepared for people to ask you how you did it because it looks amazing!! Send them here!!

Thanks! Pass this on to your friends and family! Hope you liked it and found it useful :)
