first things first, this is what you need:
- newspaper strips
- base color (i'm using sephora's myrtille, a really pretty almost electric blue)
- nude or white polish (i'm using sally hansen's natural mauve)
- clear polish
- rubbing alcohol
first, apply two coats of the base color and let nails dry
after the nails are completely dry, use the mauve color to make paint a small spot on the nail,
this should take up about half the space on the nail. dry completely.
they should look something like this...
next, coat the nail with rubbing alcohol and press newsprint onto nail,
making sure you press firmly without sliding the newspaper.
remove newspaper after about 3 seconds.
repeat with each nail.
after newspapering each nail, finish with a coat of clear polish.
and there's the finished product. a miniature library on your fingernails.
thanks for reading.
