Variants of newspaper manicure at home
The first way. It is necessary to prepare nails - to remove the old varnish, to give the desired shape with the help of nail files. Then you need to cover the nail with varnish (with medicinal properties or transparent). Cover the nails with a neutral lacquer (here to your taste, but it is worth considering that the printed letters of the newspaper will look better on light, gray or creamy varnish tones). Wait until the varnish dries completely and moisten the nails with water. Then attach small pieces of newspaper. The next stage will be the application of a varnish-fixer. In case the paper is thick, it is better to apply several layers of fixing varnish.
The second way. Make a manicure, cover with a layer of foundation, then varnish of the chosen color. Wait for the drying of the varnish, then dip the nails into a pre-prepared container with alcohol. After dipping, you must immediately attach a piece of newspaper to the nail for 30 seconds. Cleaning the piece of newspaper, on the nail is the image of the seal. Then it is necessary to apply a varnish-fixer to give a shine.
The third way. On the prepared nails (having made a manicure), apply the varnish for the base, then the varnish of the chosen color. Wait until completely dry. Pre-prepared newspaper pieces dip into a container with alcohol for 10 seconds. After the paper is soaked, it is necessary to remove it with tweezers and gently apply to the nail. Press the attached piece of paper and, if necessary, smooth over the nail plate. Wait 30 seconds, then remove it using tweezers. On the nail is a printed text, which must be covered with varnish for fixing.
