Newspaper Nails

This is a super easy, cheap(or do you like the word inexpensive better?), and fun manicure idea that you can do yourself!

• Paint nails with a base coat, it REALLY does help the color stay on longer & make it look overall more neat in my opinion (I recommend NailTek Ridge Filler).
• Then apply 1-2 coats of a light color, I love a white, pale pink or even grey color- but it HAS to be light enough for the print to show up. :)
• Grab some rubbing alcohol (it's super cheap at CVS).....I have read that liquor works too, but believe it or not, I haven't tried that....but pour some in the cap, just enough to dunk your nail in. Stick finger in the rubbing alcohol for about 5 seconds.
• Take a small square of newspaper, I cut all of mine out beforehand as I am pretty clumsy as it is, let alone with painting nails, and press it firmly against your ENTIRE nail for 10-15 seconds.
  
• DO NOT MOVE THE NEWSPAPER. DO NOT BREATHE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOOK AT THE TV. It's a really easy manicure to do.....until you try and do something else for those 10-15 seconds. The ink will smudge INSTANTLY. Just a friendly warning. :)
• Remove newspaper VERY carefully. Grab a q-tip, dip in nail polish remover & clean up the edges from anywhere else the newspaper ink got onto.
  
• Apply a topcoat- I SWEAR by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Natural Tint. It seriously works. Voila! Newspaper Nails! :)
