Newspaper Nail Art!

Hey Sparklers! 

I love nail varnish and nail art which if you have read my previous blog you will know that I have millions of nail varnish products! 

I am always looking for new things to do with my nails and new designs and I have come across newspaper nail art!! 

I think this look is AMAZING!! and it is so simple to do! 


What you will need: 
Base Coat Polish
Chosen Nail Polish
Top Coat Polish
Surgical Spirit
Newspaper Clippings

First base coat your nails with a clear base coat so that you protect your nails from the polish. 

Then paint your nails your chosen colour, be careful what colour you choose as some colours may be too dark for the newspaper to be visible. I have gone with the green and pink which was already on my nails. 

Make sure that your nails are completely dry before you try to transfer the newspaper onto them otherwise this wont work!! 

Next you will need some surgical spirit to dip your nails into, this is what will transfer the newspaper print onto your nails. 

Pour some into a small container and dip your nail into it for roughly 5/6 seconds

Next take the piece of newspaper and press it onto your nail for about 15/20 seconds, then peal it off and the print should be on your nails. 

You will need to apply a top coat to your nails now so that the print doesn't come off and you can clean up any print which is on your skin by using nail varnish remover and a cotton bud. 

And thats it!!! How easy!! 

This design took me all of 15 mins to do! I had already painted my nails so I was just jazzing them up, but even if you need to paint your nails this is still an amazing technique and so easy and quick to do!! 

Try it out sparklers and let me know!! Send me some pictures on twitter @pretty_pink_s 

Lots of Love
