Hi,
Today I'll show you a very easy to do cute manicure.
Here's what you need: a newspaper, rubbing alcohol, tweezers and
of course, some nail polish.
Firstly, apply a nude base color on your nails. I used 2 coats of Essie-Topless&Barefoot.
Cut 10 pieces of newspaper.
Take a piece of newspaper with the tweezers and put it in the rubbing alcohol.
Then, apply it on your nail. Push it for about 5-10 seconds.
Peel it off and here's what you get:
Don't forget to apply a top coat after you peel the paper or else it will erase.
I chose a glittery top coat from Flormar, but a clear one is good, too.
This is it! Your manicure it done.
What do you think?

I love it. But what is 'rubbing alcohol' and where do you get it?
hehe i was about to ask what is rubbing alcohol too!! x
according to google...
Isopropyl alcohol, available from most chemists x
Rubbing alcohol is the alcohol used for disinfection, the alcohol used by doctors.
fica muito linda,
e essa técnica é super fácil de fazer,
adorei...
Beiijinhos
Great idea!!
I think polish thinner would work too, it's the same stuff more or less.
it reminds me of some of h.naoto's early designs. All you would need would be a black tip and maybe some red polish splatter. Very cool.
This is simply awesome.Love it.
Great tutorial! ;DDD
I will try to perform such nails ;}
omg. genious.. going to do this!
How cool, a newspaper on your nails!
Okay, that's a bit different
Too fun! I would have never thought to use a glitter topcoat, it really gives it another dimension. I've been wanting to do this and even more now that I see your mani!
thanks for this cool tutorial!! i"ll try this soon

Wow, I love this! Never heard of newspaper nails before!
I'm wanting to try this really soon! I did see a tutorial last night (on some French site, I don't know what the name is because none of it is in English so I didn't notice!) I saw that she dipped her FINGER in the alcohol and not the paper. It seemed to work better. Maybe I'll try it both ways! Thanks for posting this :)
That's the coolest idea! Very original.
I think that is so cool! I'd love to try it. Thanks for the tutorial pics.
I love this look and one of these days I am going to try it. www.shineandpolishment.blogspot.com
Thanks so much for posting this! I have always wondered how to do this!
I would definitely do this! So simple to do but with a very cute outcome!
I've been looking for something to do with paper. Thank you for this. I will try this next time I paint my nails.
My sister loved your Pink Summer Nails by the way.
Would have never thought of doing that, it's quite cool !
Great idea! I think I´ll try it some day.
I do it and nails came up great. Really helpful tip, now I know what to do with old newspaper

This is so pretty ! I love it, really original. I'm gonna try to do this mani.
Omg, I love this mani! ;>
This is really cute, what a great idea... I really can't wait to try this... but I have my 4th of July nails right now... I am so impatient, I wanna go try it right now! I'm telling you, as soon as the clock hit 12:01AM on July 5th, off with red, white, blue mani, and on with newspaper mani. :P
Really I love your manis, especially the summer nails, french-hearted mani, and most recently your birthday mani. But I am just beginning so I will stick with the simpler ones like this one looks. I can't wait until I'm experienced enough to try them.
I have been thinking about trying this kind of mani for a while now... seeing it again really makes me want to start right now xD But it will have to wait for a little bit. :P
this really inspires me to do a mani like this. i have seen this around, but never knew how to do it! Thanks!
This has got to be one of the coolest manicure ideas ever! It's on my 'to-do' list!
thanks for posting a how to, this is one i have to do very soon!!
oh, this is an amazing idea! and it looks pretty easy too!
I've seen other tutorials for this, but I love your addition of the sparkly top coat! So pretty!

It's going onto my skin but not so much my nails :/

I just love this look and can't wait to try it! Great post - ty!
I've been wandering how that effect is done! Thanks for the tips :)
I have tried this, but the print will not go on my nail. Do you think it has something to do with the fact that I don't use "fresh" newspapers?
♥♥♥ Ohh I can't wait to try this!!!
I'm a bookworm: it's perfect for me (●ꈍ ◡ ꈍ●)
It's super easy! And really cute :)
