News Nails
Rose's nailsNow you can have fun News Nails when you’re reading your favorite book from the library. When you’re picking out your book from the library, people will stop and think, “Wow, that girl reads so many books there coming out of her nails!” I’ve gotten many reactions to my News Nails like, are those fake nails, where did you go and get those done and, how did you do that? I’ve gotten many great reactions. It doesn’t take long and you should have most of the supplies at home.
 
You will need:
White nail polish
Rubbing alcohol
News paper
Clear nail polish
Cotton balls
 
Steps:
  1. Make sure your nails are clean and free of polish.
  2. Paint your nails white. (I did 2 coats but it depends on the nail polish how many you will need)
  3. Let your nails dry fully.
  4. Get a cotton ball wet with rubbing alcohol.
  5. Get your favorite news paper and rip 10 little pieces off. (Make sure your pieces have words on them and are big enough to fit on your nails, bigger is better)
  6. Place a news paper piece on your nail. (with the words toward your nail)
  7. Put the cotton ball form step 4. on the news paper.
  8. Hold the cotton ball firmly on your nail for 15-20 seconds.
  9. Peel off cotton ball and news paper from your nail and let dry.
  10. Repeat until all your nails are done.
  11. After your nails are dry paint them over with a coat of clear nail polish to make them last longer.
  12. Enjoy you fun News Nails.
So try your own News Nails and read your favorite book like, Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, or whatever you want to read, but whatever you read you will be reading in style.
