Saving my sanity one nail at a time.

Words Words and Words...!

I love-Love-LOVE the clean crisp lines that come with newspaper print on polish. Here I have one of my favorite designs simply applied using polish, the Daily News and some rubbing alcohol. 

First I applied two coats of polish. Allow to fully dry, because you will be putting pressure on the nail. Then using my cut strips of newspaper, I places them over my nail and dabbed with rubbing alcohol. I know that some people prefer to soak their strips in the alcohol and then apply the strip but the lettering didn't seem dark enough to me when I did that.

After keeping the newspaper print on my nail for about 15-20 seconds, using a q-tip dipped in non-acetone nail polish remover, I then lightly brush in between the letters to get rid of excess newpaper print. Then top it off with my top coat and VOILA! This bad boy last me 7 days easy.
