My friend saw this little gem of a nail art idea online and sent it to me, so here's my first attempt, it's such a fab idea, and so much easier than it looks!
All you need is nail varnish for your base colour (a light colour is probably best); some alcohol, vodka or surgical spirit is fine; An old newspaper and top coat/clear nail varnish.
1. Paint your nails with your chosen colour, I used Illamasqua nail varnish in 'load'.
2. Once your nails are dry dip them in the alcohol.
3. Then take the section of news paper you're going to use to make the print (it needs to be big enough to cover the entire area) and press it onto the nail.
4. Slowly peel off the paper.
5. Gently paint over a generous amount of top coat, (I got mine from Sparkly Nails) being careful not to smudge the design. This will help it last longer and stop the design from being rubbed off!
And finally...go and show off your new nails!
