I was very bored and had a newspaper and scissors sitting by me... this was the result!! I dont have any photos cause I did this so quickly! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've done this again with nail glue and took photos so enjoy the update! And they last about a week done like this... if you take care of them :)

Instructions

  1. Grab the newspaper and trace around the fake nails that fit your real nails (or just draw a shape that's about the right size!)

    cut out the nail shapes on the newspaper

    I did an undercoat of clear nail polish first but you probably dont have to...

    Brush a little bit of the nail glue on one of your nails (be sure to cover the whole nail so that the newspaper sticks well) then put the newspaper nail onto your nail. Be sure to press down all the corners! Trim any excess (nail scissors are good for this!) Repeat this until all your nails are newspaper-ed!

    Do a top coat (or two!) over the newspaper and thats it! they last about a week ... if you take care of them :)
