News Paper nails

News paper nails are really simple and really cute. Here's what they look like:

So again, this is super simple. I used grey, and grey gives it that newspaper look but you could use any light color that the ink would show up on.

So step 1: paint your nails grey (or other color).

Step 2: let your nails dry completely

Step 3: dip your nail in rubbing alcohol, do one at a time. Then put a small piece of newspaper (I suggest cutting up pieces) on your nail. Make sure the newspaper gets completely wet from the rubbing alcohol. Hold it on there for 15 seconds and you're done!

Take off the newspaper and the ink will be left on your nail. Be sure to put a top coat on so the ink doesn't end up rubbing off.

I used a Beatles article, but it really doesn't matter what you use. This is quick and easy for people just starting out with nail art! Hope you enjoy!
