Many nail design ideas can only be realized by experienced masters with experience. However, you can do without the participation of specialists if you adopt a newfangled method using newspapers, which does not require special skills and expensive manicure products. Using the print of the printed matter, you can achieve an extremely attractive result.

In this case, there is no need for stencils and varnish paints. The necessary funds are at hand:

• liquid containing alcohol;
• transparent fixing varnish;
• newspaper;
• light monochromatic varnish as a base.

When choosing a color scheme of the latter, there are no restrictions. A common option is white. Peach or beige will also work. Yellow is for those who like bright solutions. The main thing is that dark characters do not get lost in the background.

A substitute for colorless varnish will be a fixing liquid that will protect the drawing from damage.

The first element of the list is equally important. Someone uses a nail polish remover. In this case, keep in mind: the presence of acetone leads to the fact that the paper fragments stick to the nails and leave irregularities. However, the alcohol makes the rendering of the translated letters slightly faint.

Newspaper manicure: step by step instructions

1. Pre-cut from the waste paper a small piece for each finger. Calculate the size so that the pieces of paper hide the nail, but are not too sweeping: this will interfere with working on adjacent fingers. Pick up thick paper, otherwise the material will lose its integrity and stick to the varnish.

Keep in mind! With sheets from glossy magazines, you will waste your efforts: the print simply will not transfer.

To find the appropriate newspaper, rub the page on clean paper. If a dark trail remains, then stop at this material.

2. Prepare your nails. And it doesn't matter what shape they are. "Newspaper" decoration looks good in any case. Forget about building up and other manipulations. The only condition is to get rid of the cuticles and small burrs. If this is not done, after applying the main varnish, the nails will take on an unsightly look. To ensure a flawless finish, it is polished or sanded.

3. We give the nail color. After completing the first layer and waiting for it to dry, proceed to the second. This achieves uniformity of color.

Keep in mind! Make sure that the varnish is completely set and only then continue, otherwise deformation or partial slipping cannot be avoided.

4. Fill the makeshift bath with an alcohol-based liquid and lower your nail in there for a few seconds (up to 10).

Keep in mind! Delay will cause the varnish to peel off completely.
Place the piece of newspaper upside down. If it seems to you that the paper is not wet enough, then add a drop of alcohol. The time to dry depends on the density of the material and varies from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Press down gently on the newspaper. If it moves, it will blur the texture. The pieces should overlap so that the text is in the same direction.

5. Remove the original tracing paper. It is better to do this with a swift movement from the nail.

6. Fix the result with a clear varnish. For greater reliability, it is not forbidden to apply several layers.

Express method

If you are pressed for time or unwilling to wait, you can trust the simple instructions:

1. Treat your nails and grind the newspaper as in the previous method.
2. After covering the nail with the main varnish, wait until it dries slightly.
3. Soak some of the newspaper in rubbing alcohol and press down on the nail plate. It's okay if the fragment is crumpled. Line it up with your finger or cotton swab with quick but neat strokes.
4. While controlling the force, gently pull back on the paper. This is a crucial stage, so you need to try.
5. Finish with a couple of coats of fixative or varnish.

Different approaches to design

It is not at all necessary to dwell on what was described earlier. "Newspaper" manicure is a whole direction that goes well with other design ideas.

1. A combination of French and newspaper methods will help to emphasize the femininity of your image. To do this, pieces of paper with an even edge are applied to the upper edge, without going over the pink part of the nail.

   

2. If you want to follow the latest fashion trends, then you will surely be interested in the “breakaway” print. For production, the newspaper is torn into small and careless pieces, which are printed in a random manner. It would seem that a chaotic approach cannot give a decent result. However, this technique forms an extremely original pattern, and scuffs and fragments that are not fully developed give the composition a certain charm of antiquity.
   From the point of view of execution, this is no more difficult than the usual way. So it would be foolish not to try.

   

3. The "money" manicure does not lag behind in originality. Capturing a portrait of Franklin, another historical figure or a landmark on your nails is not a cheap pleasure. After all, the bill after such processing will lose its value.
   Material losses can be avoided by sacrificing a geographical map to beauty or trying to repeat the relief of snakeskin by choosing a suitable paper image.

   

4. Feel free to get creative: try using a variety of symbols, such as musical notation.
5. Font stamping is not the only way to go. Among other things, you can apply pieces of newspaper soaked in water to varnished nails, wait until they dry, and secure them with clear varnish.

Despite the fact that the workspace is limited to a small area of ​​nails, there are more options for metamorphosis and opportunities for self-expression than it might seem at first glance.
