I had heard of newsprint nails before, but I didnt know how! My sister sent me a link and I decided to try it. All you do is paint your nails white, wait for the to dry, dip them in vodka, press newspaper on them, and peel! The paper gets a little stuck, so the nails have a paper texture on them kind of, but it looks very good. I must say, the picture make it look like I can't paint nails at all but I promise it looks better in person, haha! Once I get all the excess off it will look even better!
I start school on Wednesday ughhhh. Hopefully I have a great junior year! I hope everyone else is good!

I wonder if this would work with regular printed paper, then you could make a word or saying that you wanted, reverse it before printing it, then do the procedure as you do with newsprint, but you'd get the right way written words of your choosing. Guessing type of ink and paper make a big difference though.. Report Spam Posted by agauthier79 at 12:38 PM on 08/22/11
Newspaper nails are so fun! I've done them with lavender nail polish before. And once with yellow nail polish. Report Spam Posted by sweans at 4:43 PM on 08/22/11
This looks really cool. I like the contrast of the white nails and the dark print, its very eye catching. Good luck in school! I know you'll do great! Report Spam Posted by jessicachanel at 9:05 PM on 08/22/11
Vodka?! Whoever did those instructions was afraid the technique wouldn't work; "do a shot and it doesn't matter". ;p Put a clear coat on 'em. Report Spam Posted by miss_daphne at 9:34 PM on 08/22/11
I've never done this before, but it's a neat concept. Report Spam Posted by thelovehammers at 6:12 AM on 08/23/11

Ooh I gotta try this! Thanks for the information! I wonder why vodka is what gets the words to stick on the polish. Report Spam Posted by mollysaurus at 6:07 PM on 08/23/11

I save my vodka for my mouth, not my nails. :) They look awesome, though. Report Spam Posted by sorapandora at 6:22 PM on 09/09/11
