Many people have been getting into whimsical abstract nail patterns like leopard prints. I got caught in the fad when it led to an inspiration: newspaper print nails.
First I cut out 10 small pieces from a newspaper to put on each nail.
Then I painted each nail a mint green. I would recommend a light color like this one to allow the print to be more distinct.
I then allowed the nail polish to dry only halfway before dipping it into hydrogen peroxide (you could also use rubbing alcohol).
After, I soaked a piece of newspaper in the hydrogen peroxide and pressed it firmly against a nail for about 13 seconds to allow the newspaper prints to transfer onto the nail. I continued the same thing with the rest of the nails.

I finished my nails with a clear coat.
My results were a little messy since it was only my first time experimenting, but they still came out pretty cool.

I have to try this. Thanks for the info, and feel free to drop by me too, soon.
