Hi girls.
The project this weekend is to do sort of like a recycle nail art. Well not really 'recycle' recyle but recycle:-D
This kind of nail art is known as the newspaper nail art. Truthfully i didn't use any newspaper for these because as you know- our newspapers are not white; more yellowish isnt it? So i used magazines instead to create the 'newspaper' look:-)
Here is how i did this.
1. Firstly, paint you nails with base coat and desired background colour. Here i'm using the Face Shop's white polish (its so not nice! So thick and hard to apply!)
2. Then tear newspapers (magazine in this case) to small pieces and stick them on your already dried nails using a topcoat.
3. Press the papers down to flatten them- I used the back part of the orange stick.
4. Then lastly apply a layer or two of top coat for a perfect finish (mine is quite messy- well 1st time:-)
I tried putting my nails under running water after it was completely dry and it perfectly stayed in place so i don’t think bathing and all will influence the nail art. It should be ok for a day or two provided you take good care of it. Just make sure you put a layer of topcoat every day if you want it to last:-)
Oh ya.. i added some variety to it. Hope you like them:-)
This is such cute idea!
ReplyDeleteThehehe.. n cheap too:-)
ReplyDeleteLOL. When I bought my first bottle of Face Shop white, I thought all whites were like that >.< Thanks for enlightening me, I think I'll try Elianto or Etude House when this bottle finishes :P
ReplyDeleteOh, and that reminds me, how come you never do any swatches on Etude House polishes? They have some pretty awesome colors too, like the BK009 I purchased recently. They have other pretty shades too (:
