Newspaper Print Fingernails

If you are like me, you love to have cute finger and toenails. I recently bought some of the OPI Shattered nail polish and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. But as I was surfing the web, I found newspaper print nails and cannot wait to try it. Here's a step-by-step guide provided by Glam.com .

What You’ll Need:
▪ A shot glass
▪ Rubbing alcohol
▪ Base coat
▪ Clear top coat
▪ Pastel nail polish
▪ 10 small strips of newspaper


Step One: Apply one base coat followed by two coats of your pastel nail color. Allow to completely dry.
Step Two: Pour rubbing alcohol into a shot glass and dip a fingertip in.
Step Three: Cover damp nail with a strip of newspaper and firmly press in place for 30 seconds. Slowly peel newspaper off and allow to dry. Repeat on other fingertips.
Step Four: Set with a top coat.


Cute right?

    That's adorable! I'm sending this to my boyfriend's sister, she's really good at nail art.

    Oh dude, that is AWESOME.

    Since I chip my nails .574 seconds after getting a manicure, this might be the best idea. It probably looks "vintage" when chipped!
