Newspaper manicure is an opportunity to make an unusual design on your nails.
Newspaper manicure was born in France. Yes! It is in that country that is a trendsetter.One of the Parisian newspapers published an article about the professionalism of a Frenchwoman who knows the art of manicure. The Parisian woman was proud of such an assessment of her work, but in order to achieve greater success, she decided to create an unusual manicure, and this idea succeeded: she began to place symbols from the newspaper text on the nails of her regular customers. Black and white manicure always looked spectacular. The newspaper style first spread across Europe, then appeared in America, and he came to Russia recently.
The benefits of newspaper manicure:
- on each nail you can place completely different patterns, which will always correspond to one single basic style;
- any woman can afford such a decoration, even with a small income;
- there are many options for a creative approach and experiments with capital or small letters, the English or Russian alphabet, color scheme and more;
- to create it does not take much time;
- It will always surprise and delight your environment with its beautiful design.
Nail styling in such an unusual way can be done in two ways: with and without alcohol.
How to make?
With alcohol
First of all, you need to prepare everything you need for work:
- to create a basic foundation you need gel polish;
- colorless varnish - to fix the composition;
- alcohol (you can use vodka);
- lamp for drying, cotton buds;
- all manicure accessories;
- and the main element for work is the newspaper.
After that, you can safely begin to create a symbolic "nail" design at home, clearly following the step-by-step instructions.
- The first step is to make a regular hygienic manicure: you need to put your nails in order, remove the cuticle, and give the necessary shape with a nail file.
- Pre cut ten squares of 3x3 cm from the newspaper.
- A base tone should be applied to the nail plates. It can be traditionally white, imitating the basis of a print publication, but you can move away from the general rules and create a basic basic tone in any other color, even very bright.
- After applying the varnish, it is necessary to dry the nails to dry completely. Remember that further decoration should be done separately on each nail.
- Put a square on the surface of the marigold (taking into account the pre-thought out every detail of the future pattern).
- Pour alcohol onto the surface of a piece of newspaper placed on the nail. Each movement must be done very carefully so as not to accidentally move the newspaper, otherwise the whole picture may be smeared. After the alcohol has been soaked, it will leave a print on the nail.
- Remove the newspaper and dry the printed letters well.
- Apply a transparent varnish to fix the resulting pattern and obtain a glossy shine, dry under the lamp.
You can create a newspaper manicure in another way, in which each cut out piece of newspaper must be pre-soaked for several seconds in a container with alcohol, and then applied for 20-40 seconds to the nail with the finished base coat.
To print better, you need to press a newspaper piece to the nail with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, then gently remove it with tweezers.
other methods
Newspaper manicures women adapted to do without alcohol, due to several reasons. Firstly, alcohol may not be at hand. Secondly, if there are small wounds or microcracks in the nails of your fingers, alcohol can bring serious discomfort.
After you tidy up your nails, apply a base and dry it. Then we begin to work on each nail separately. It is necessary to paint a fingernail with a thin layer of gel polish, wait 20 seconds, so that it dries slightly, but remains slightly sticky. Then we apply the prepared piece of newspaper to the varnish, wait for it to dry completely and remove the paper with a sharp movement.The newspaper will leave its mark, which should be covered with colorless varnish in three layers. Several layers are necessary so that the varnish can hide the inaccuracies and irregularities formed by the paper decor.
To diversify the newspaper manicure, you can put on each nail not one sheet of newspaper, but several small ones - then an interesting mosaic effect will be obtained.
Another option for creating an unusual symbolic manicure is also possible. In order to translate a newspaper symbol or drawing onto a fingernail, you need to drop acetone on a cut piece of newspaper, attach and gently press it to the nail plate. Such a technology requires a lot of experience and for the first time may not work.
Some girls learned to masterfully stick pieces of newspaper on their nails and fix them with a coating of colorless varnish. This technology is the simplest of the above, but quite harmful to the nails.
