Technique for applying manicure
To give yourself a newspaper manicure,you need to prepare a base coat (definitely matte), a newspaper and a clear top coat. Now a couple of nuances about the newspaper - you can take a black and white one, or one with a color font, but not a glossy magazine. You can choose a Russian font, or you can improvise and do a manicure using a newspaper and apply letters from a foreign alphabet. First, you need to do the manicure itself - trim the cuticle, shape the nail and carefully file it with a nail file. The nails should be smooth, flawless in appearance. Now dip the nail (finger) in alcohol - this way we degrease it. Another option is to simply wipe the nail with acetone with a cotton swab. Now cover the nail with a base coat and let it dry completely. Here you need to do it as follows: apply one layer of varnish, after a minute - the second. Since the varnish is matte (enamel), it must be applied carefully so that everything looks like a solid surface without gaps and stripes. Now take a newspaper, but first you need to prepare it and either make stripes or imitate the exact shape of the nails. Dip a piece of newspaper in alcohol and apply it to the nail - make sure that it does not move, otherwise you will get a smeared pattern. For a tight fit, hold the newspaper on the nail with a damp cloth (it should also be moistened with alcohol). 2-3 minutes will be enough for complete fixation. Now carefully remove the newspaper and let this beauty dry - a quarter of an hour will be enough. So, we drank coffee, the nails dried, and now all that remains is to make the final touch - cover the nails with a fixing varnish. This product is sold colorless and therefore it can be applied in just one layer, without trying too hard. That's it, a creative, fashionable and ultra-modern manicure with a newspaper is ready - now you can show it to everyone around you.
