Newspaper Print Nails A friend showed me how to do this today and i think it looks really good. You will need: A pale or bright nail varnish colour. Some newspaper A clear top coat A cup of water A cotton wool pad ~Make sure there is no nail varnish left on your nails before you start.~ 1. Paint your nails with the pale nail varnish. 2. Once they have dried dip a piece of newspaper (it doesn't have to be in the shape of your nail) thats big enough to cover your nail, quickly in the water so it is damp but not too wet and press it down all over your nail for 30 seconds. 3. With the newspaper still on your nail, press the cotton wool pad on the newspaper to dry it out a bit. 4. Peel the newpaper off of your nail and leave to dry. Repeat for the rest of your nails. The newsprint may not stand out that well but it should be better when there is a topcoat. 5. Apply the clear topcoat and leave to dry. Hope you liked this!
