Extra! Extra! Read All About It! - Jenn

A few weeks ago I did newspaper print nails. It was super easy and looked great! Here is how you can to this easy, fun nail design yourself:

1. Gather your supplies. You will need a base coat, a light colored polish, a top coat, rubbing alcohol (I used 75%), nail polish remover, q-tips, scissors, a little dish and newspaper.

2. Cut out ten squares of newspaper. Make sure they cover the entire nail . I made mine pretty big like 2" by 2"

3. Put on your base coat

4. Once touch dry put on your light coloured polish.

5. Wait for them to dry completely. I went and watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother.

6. Once completely dry pour some of the rubbing alcohol into the little dish.

7. Soak your finger in the rubbing alcohol for about 15 seconds.

8. Take a square of paper and press it firmly against your nail for 15 seconds. I found going longer then that left them smudged.

9. Remove the paper from the nail

10. Repeat on the rest of your nails.

11. Put on your top coat.

12. Use the nail polish remover and q-tips to clean up around your nail.

13. Enjoy!
