- a small glass of rubbing alcohol or vodka
- 10 strips of newspaper (bigger than your nails)
- LIGHT nailpolish. white, clear, light pink, etc. anything LIGHT
Do:
- dip your nails in the alcohol for a while so the whole nail is wet
- press a strip of the newspaper on your nail and hold firmly for 30 seconds. do NOT move the strip, keep it firm
- go over with a clear coat so it’ll last
LOVE this!!! Feel like stealing the idea right now, but am too lazy to do the manicure...we should do a newsprint manicure party.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh i just saw this post and the nails are so cool!did they ruin you nails underneath?
ReplyDeleteSo much more interesting than the glitzy manicures. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI sent this to my wife as we both love anything with words. ;-)
A really good technical photograph by the way. As it wasn't credited I presume the photographer was Jen Jordan?
Very impressive.
mjohnstone asks a good question, will it ruin the nails if this is done regularly? I guess the newspaper print will eventually blacken the nails if done more than once.

Apologies Jen, I was so impressed with this discovery of a site I didn't check who ran it.
ReplyDeleteIf it's okay, I've clicked follow this site.
It really is impressive, and quite incredible.
