NAILED IT- READ ALL ABOUT IT.

Afternoon, for your fortnightly instalment of NAILED IT, I attempted newspaper nails. This amazing technique has always been on my list of nail art to try and its surprisingly easy!

All you need is a pale colour as your base nail varnish, I used Barry M- Matt white for my look. Simply apply a few coats and let dry before dipping your nails into vodka, yes that's right, vodka. You can use other alcohol but vodka is the most popular, effective & one of the cheapest spirits. 

After submerging your nail in vodka simply place a newspaper cutting over each nail & press for a few minutes, making sure you don't shift the paper, we don't want smudges now do we :) remove the paper smoothly & there you have it, newspaper nails! 

Now if anything has gone awry you can remove the ink easily with a cotton pad, just smoothly wipe and try again & when your happy with your final result apply a top coat & allow to dry. I used Rimmel London matte top coat for a final, matte sheen. 

You can have so much fun with this technique, let me know how you get on below!
