Reprint the newspaper onto your own nails with these 4 easy steps.

Ever wish you could create a cool design on your nails without having to pay $40 for a fresh manicure? Ever wish your nails could look something like this…

Instead of that boring solid color you’ve had sitting in your makeup bag for months, learn how to achieve your newspaper nails in 4 easy steps.

Step 1: 1st coat

Paint your nails a light gray or white color. Only apply one layer of polish, you don’t want your nail polish to be thick or clumpy.

Step 2: Isopropyl Alcohol 

Dip your nails, one by one in regular Isopropyl Alcohol. Leave each nail in for about 5 seconds.

Step 3: Bring in the Newspaper

Press your nails against some words in a newspaper article. Make sure you press hard and leave your nail against the paper for a while. You should feel your nails sticking a bit to the newspaper when you pull them off.

Step 4: Last coat

This is the most important step. Paint your nails with a clear, no-chip polish to make sure the design stays on your nails longer.
