The best...NAILS

Newspaper nails, my friends! The step towards becoming the best manicurist around.

What you'll need:
Light colored nail polish (I used light pink)
Newspaper article
Rubbing alcohol
Small bowl or dish
Top Coat

SO. What you do:

1) Paint your nails with the color you choose. It may help to add an extra coat, because I think the rubbing alcohol can be a little rough on the polish.
2) Let them dry.
3) Pour the alchol into the bowl.
4) Cut out 10 small squares of newspaper, big enough to fit on your fingernail. (Does not need to be the shape of your fingernail, just a square or rectangle).
5) Dip a finger into the alcohol for about 10 seconds
6) Cover your fingernail with one of your newpaper squares, and press down hard and evenly on your fingernail for about a minute.
7) Slowly peel off the newspaper. The ink should have gone onto your nail!
8) Repeat with all fingers.
9) Apply topcoat.

They should look about like the picture below!
