It’s a new year, so what better way to kick of 2012 than with newsworthy nails. If you aren’t as bold as to wear these newsprint dresses a la Twiggy and Sarah Jessica Parker, let your nails tell the story instead.
Make sure you are prepared before you begin. Take a newspaper and tear off small segments, large enough to cover your nail. Set these aside with a small amount of surgical spirit and you are ready to go.
Step one:
Start by painting your nails with a base coat colour. I decided to go for a light grey colour to tie in with the industrial, newsprint theme. However if you want something more attention grabbing, a lighter pearlescent colour will make the letters stand out more prominently, like a front page headline.
Step two: After letting the varnish fully dry quickly dip each finger in a small amount of surgical spirit to make the nail wet again. Immediately apply one of the newspaper strips to the nail and hold it down for about 30 seconds. When you remove the newspaper the words should have printed themselves on your nail.
