[Nail Art] Vintage Newspaper

I finally passed that miserable Korean driving test and earned my permit! >=D

Thanks to my friend who needed a French-to-English translation from a website, I decided to give the brand new technique a try.

It did not result as nicely as I wished, but what can I say; it was my first try. ;D

Middle and ring finger design got messed up... =(
________________________________________________________________________________

 Today you will need:
  • newspaper
  • scissors
  • clear polish
  • nude-color polish
  • base coat
  • hand sanitizer or drinking alcohol (anything with mostly ethanol)
 Step 1: Cut newspaper big enough to cover the nails

I had trouble finding an article without death, war, and/or politics as topics... -_-

Step 2: Apply base coat

 Step 3: Apply nude color polish

 Step 4: Apply ethanol product on the nails

Make sure it is just enough to dampen the surface! ;)

 Step 5: Paste the newspaper on the nail

Press it down and don't shift it around!

Step 6: Apply a little more ethanol product on newspaper

I got lazy on this step for my middle and ring finger...
That's why those don't look as pretty. =(

 Step 7: Carefully peel the newspaper

Nicely done!! >=D
Now repeat steps 4~7!!

 Step 8: Apply clear coat

The fonts darken when top coat is applied! =D

Complete!
Ignore my middle and ring finger design, please... T_T
