DIY Newspaper Nails. Tutorial in French at La Passion du Nail Art here. But basically you’ll need scissors, a pale nail polish color with a base coat, a newspaper, alcohol (such as vodka) and a top coat.
- Apply base coat and 2 coats of varnish and dry.
- Cut small pieces of newspaper big enough to cover your nails.
- Soak your nails in alcohol.
- Cover your nails with small pieces of newspaper, then remove the newsprint slowly.
- Let dry and apply top coat.
I’d really love to try this, but I botch my nails every stinkin’ time I paint them. The work (and vodka) probably wouldn’t be worth my end result.
