DIY newspaper nails

 
Hello everybody!
Today I decided it was time to do my first DIY post. This was actually my mums idea haha.
 
I was painting my nails earlier and decided for the first time EVER that I would try and create the Newspaper nail look.. now bare with me because I am by far the worst nail painter in the world and my three year old niece could probably have done a better job than me..


 
Step one; Apply your base coat all over your nails, giving it time to dry.
 
Step two; Apply your light colour all over your nails, don't build this up to much.
 
Step three; Once your nails are dry get a cup 70% full of water or rubbing alcohol, place a finger at a time into the liquid and then taking some newspaper/magazine dip that into the liquid and place the newspaper/magazine onto the nail and leaving it there for 15-20seconds.
 
Step 4; Remove the paper and the text will look quite grey. Now apply a top coat which will bring out the black in the text and make your nails look a lot neater!
 
Now your done!
 
 
 
There you go that's how you create the newspaper nail look! I hope this helped you! If you recreated the look send me a picture on twitter or Instagram I would love to see your interoperations of this nail design!
 
Love, Kiera x
