Newspaper manicure is an opportunity to make an unusual design on your nails.
The newspaper manicure was born in France. Yes! It is in the country that is the trendsetter. In one of the Parisian newspapers published an article about the professionalism of the French, owning 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 she succeeded in this idea: she began to place symbols from the newspaper text on the nails of her regular clients. Black and white manicure always looked spectacular. Newspaper style first spread throughout Europe, then appeared in America, and he came to Russia only recently.
Advantages of newspaper manicure:
- On each nail, you can place completely different designs that will always correspond to the same basic style;
- any woman can afford such decoration, even with a small income;
- There are many options for creativity and experimentation with large or small letters, the English or Russian alphabet, color and so on;
- to create it does not take much time;
- he will always surprise and delight your surroundings with his beautiful design.
Styling nails in such an unusual version can be done in two ways: with or without alcohol.
How to do?
With alcohol
First of all, you need to prepare everything you need for work:
- to create a basic framework, gel polish is needed;
- colorless varnish - to fix the composition;
- alcohol (you can use vodka);
- a drying lamp; cotton swabs;
- 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 thing you need to do is a regular hygienic manicure: you need to tidy up your marigolds, remove the cuticle, give the necessary form with a nail file.
- Pre-cut from the newspaper ten squares measuring 3x3 cm.
- On the nail plate must be applied to the base tone. It can be traditionally white, imitating the basis of a printed publication, but you can deviate from the general rules and create a basic base tone in any other color, even very bright.
- After applying the varnish, it is necessary to dry the nails until completely dry. Remember that further decoration should be done separately on each nail.
- Put a square on the surface of the marigold (taking into account every detail of the future design that was thought out in advance).
- Pour alcohol on 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 spread. After alcohol is soaked, it will leave a print of the newspaper on the nail.
- Remove the newspaper and dry the printed letters well.
- Apply a clear lacquer to secure the resulting pattern and get a glossy shine, dry under the lamp.
You can create a newspaper manicure in another way, in which each cut out piece of a newspaper must be soaked for a few seconds in a container with alcohol, and then applied for 20-40 seconds to the nail with a finished base coat.
To make the picture better imprinted, it is necessary to press a piece of newspaper to the nail with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, then carefully remove it with tweezers.
other methods
Newspaper manicure women adapted to do without alcohol, which is due to several reasons. First, alcohol may not be at hand. Secondly, if there are small wounds or microcracks in the nail area of your fingers, alcohol can cause serious discomfort.
After you tidy up your nails, apply the base and dry it. Then we start working on each nail separately. It is necessary to make up the nail with a thin layer of gel polish, wait 20 seconds so that it dries slightly, but remains slightly sticky. Then we apply a prepared piece of newspaper to the varnish, wait for complete drying and with a sharp movement remove the paper. The newspaper will leave its imprint, which should be covered with colorless varnish in three layers. Several layers are necessary so that the lacquer can hide the errors and irregularities formed by the paper decor.
To diversify newspaper manicure, you can impose on each nail not one piece of newspaper, but a few small ones - then you get an interesting mosaic effect.
There is another option for creating an unusual character manicure. In order to translate a newspaper symbol or a drawing onto a nail, it is necessary to drop acetone on the cut out piece of the newspaper, attach it and lightly press it onto the nail plate. This technology requires a lot of experience and for the first time may not work.
Some girls have learned to masterfully paste pieces of a newspaper onto their nails and fix them with a coating of colorless varnish. This technology is the simplest of the above, but rather harmful for the nails.
