Nail Art: Newspaper Manicure

Bored of the everyday standard manicure? Want your nails to stand out from the rest? Looking for a cool project to work on right now? If you answered YES to all the above questions then this trend is for you.

I came across this nail art on YouTube (my new best friend) while trying to find something new to try and I felt the need to share it with my fellow fashionistas. Change is always good.

The fun part about it is that it can be done at home.  

Here's what you'll need:

• Base coat
• Nail polish
• Rubbing alcohol
• Top coat
• Small bowl
• Newspaper
• Scissors

Here are the simple steps you'll need to follow:

• First, cut your newspaper into little pieces, preferably the same sizes as your nails then put that aside.
  
• Apply your base coat as usual
• Apply your nail polish (preferably neutral colors to make toe newspaper prints stand out)
• Once it's completely dry, immerse a nail into the bowl of rubbing alcohol--->>one at a time for about 5-10 seconds.
• After immersing a nail in alcohol, get a piece of the newspaper cuts and press & roll it on your nail right away to get the newspaper print. 

PS
 At times the newspaper may get dry up quickly and get stuck on the nail. In-case that happens, simply dip a cotton ball into rubbing alcohol and place it on top of the newspaper on the nail and that will help it peel off.

• Once all the nails have been catered to, you can apply your top coat and voila!!!!!
