Project DIY - Newspaper Nails.

Hey guys, as promised here is a (hopefully) quality post for you. Again, my apologies for the silence, have been bogged down with uni work. Today, my project DIY is newspaper nails..who needs a trip to the salon when you can do awesome pattern yourself at home? Before we get started though, here's a quick OOTD.

Ok, so down to the newspaper nails!
You will need..

• A sheet of newspaper
• Nail varnish
• Vodka
• Scissors

Step one: Firstly, paint your nails the colour of your choice! I've chosen a nude colour, but it also works well with brights, whatever takes your fancy!

Step two: Cut out some small squares of newspaper a bit bigger than the size of your nails. They don't need to be exact shapes, just aslong as they're a bit bigger than your nail.

Step three: Pour a small amount of vodka in to a cup/shot glass or whatever else you want to use.

Step 4: Dip one of the squares of newspaper in to the vodka, making sure it's all covered.

Step 5: Place in on your nail making sure it goes to the edges. I find it works well when you press down on the nail for about 5 seconds.

Step 6: Remove the newspaper and voila! Now repeat on all your nails and you'll be left with something like this..

You can seal it with a clear nail varnish or nail hardner if you wish, but if you choose to do so, make sure the newspaper print is completely dry before hand or it could smudge!

I love my nails - what do you think? Will you be giving it a go?

Don't forget everyone, theres a poll in my side bar about what you want to see more of - please vote!
