Newspaper Print Nails!

Newspaper Print Nails ::

You will need:

  1.  Light colored nail polish
  2. Clear nail polish
  3. Nespaper
  4. Rubbing Alcohol
  5. Q-tips





  • Make sure your nails are free of all old nail polish
  • Paint your nail a light color, I used a shiny grey
  • Let dry (about 5 minutes AT LEAST)
  • Fill a small cup (I used a shot glass) with rubbing alcohol, and soak one nail for about 5 seconds
  • Rub nail with Q-tip, so the rubbing alcohol isn't dripping off your nail
  • Take a piece of newspaper and press ((lightly)) on your nail for about 5 seconds
  • Use a Q-tip with rubbing alcohol on it to wipe extra newspaper print from around your fingernails
  • Paint over nail with clear nail polish to prevent smudging and give your nails a shiny gloss
  • Repeat :)
*Just a note, it might take a little practice to get perfect. My left hand looks wayyyy better than my right!
**Also, don't use [too much] rubbing alcohol, the newspaper print will come off light and smudgy
***Beware! If you have hangnails (like I did) the rubbing alcohol will burn!
