Newspaper nails - swatches and tutorial

Today I want to show you how to do newspaper nails! These are so fun and easy to do! I used llamasqua's Load as base polish.

You need the following:

A base polish (a white or a really pale colour).

Ten pieces of newspaper, big enough to cover a nail.

Some ordinary alcohol, or rubbing alcohol. I used vodka.

A top coat.

How to do newspaper nails:

Apply your base colour and let it dry completely.

Dip your nail in the alcohol for about 10 seconds.

Press a piece of newspaper firmly to the nail for about 20 seconds. 

Try to hold it as still as possible.

Peel it off carefully.

Seal the print with a top coat. Do a clean-up if necessary. Done! :)

You can also try dipping the newspaper in alcohol instead of your fingers, sometimes this works better.
Instead of ordinary newspapers you can also use comic pages, maps, books and other prints.

My prints turned out pretty weak but I'm quite pleased with them anyway beeing my first attempt ;)

How do you like newspaper nail art?

Will you give it try? ;)
