My first time doing a nail tutorial + pictorial! Yayyy!!!
The pictorial was mostly screenshots I took from the video~ But I think the video describes better on how to achieve this newspaper printed nails.
Tips before you start:
- Always make sure your nail polish is COMPLETELY DRY before you proceed to the next step
- Hold the newspaper cutting firmly to avoid blurry words
- Cut out parts of the newspaper with letters filling the entire cutting to avoid having blank spaces in between
- Prepare everything you need before you start to avoid having messed up nails!
So I'll cut the chase and proceed to the pictorial~
Things you'll need:
1. Newspaper cuttings in squares
2. Rubbing Alcohol AKA Isopropyl Alcohol 70%
3. Base Coat
4. White/ Light grey Nail Polish
5. Top Coat
6. Palette/ Bowl
