Newspaper manicure is an opportunity to make an unusual design on your nails.

Newspaper manicure was born in France. Yes! It is in the country that is the trendsetter.One of the Parisian newspapers published an article about the professionalism of a French woman who owns 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 was a success: she began to place symbols from newspaper text on the nails of her regular clients. Black and white manicure has always looked impressive. The newspaper style first spread throughout Europe, then it appeared in America, and it came to Russia quite recently.

Advantages of newspaper manicure:

• completely different patterns can be placed on each nail, which will always correspond to one single 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 scheme, and more;
• it won't take a lot of time to create it;
• he will always surprise and delight your surroundings with his beautiful design.

Styling nails in such an unusual way can be done in two ways: with and without alcohol.

First of all, you need to prepare everything you need for work:

• to create a base base, you need a gel polish;
• colorless varnish - to fix the composition;
• alcohol (you can use vodka);
• drying lamp, cotton swabs;
• all manicure supplies;
• and the main element for work is the newspaper.

After that, you can safely start creating a symbolic "nail" design at home, clearly following the step-by-step instructions.

• The first step is to do the usual hygienic manicure: you need to put your nails in order, remove the cuticles, and file the necessary shape with a nail file.
• Pre-cut ten 3x3 cm squares from the newspaper.
• A base tone must be applied to the nail plates. It can be traditionally white, imitating the basis of the printed edition, but you can deviate from the general rules and create a basic basic tone with any other color, even very bright ones.
• After applying the varnish, it is necessary to dry the nails until they are completely dry. Remember that further decoration should be done separately on each nail.
• Put the square on the surface of the marigold (taking into account every detail of the future drawing 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 drawing may be smeared. After the alcohol is soaked, it will leave an imprint of the newspaper pattern on the nail.
• Remove the newspaper and dry the printed letters well.
• Apply 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 a few seconds in a container with alcohol, and then applied for 20-40 seconds to the nail with the finished base coat.

Women have adapted to do newspaper manicure without alcohol, which is due to a number of reasons. First, alcohol may not be on hand. Secondly, if there are small wounds or microcracks in the area of ​​the nails of your fingers, alcohol can bring 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 paint the nail with a thin layer of gel polish, wait 20 seconds for it to dry slightly, but remain slightly sticky. Then we apply a 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 a colorless varnish in three layers. Several layers are necessary so that the varnish can hide the inaccuracies and irregularities formed by the paper decor.

Another option for creating an unusual symbolic manicure is also possible. In order to transfer a newspaper symbol or drawing onto the nail, you need to drop acetone on the cut out piece of newspaper, apply and lightly press it against the nail plate. This technology requires a lot of experience and may not work the first time.

Some girls have learned to masterly 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 for marigolds.

Newspaper manicure is appreciated all over the world, it has won many women's hearts, it is done by professionals in salons, women create a successful symbolic nail design at home. Above, several methods were described by which a newspaper manicure can be done, and each of them has its own subtleties. One of the main problems that comes up when creating a manicure is shifting the newspaper. You can solve this problem in one of the following ways:

• if there is a shift on one nail, then on the rest you should try to stick it in the same style - in random order and with different clarity;
• if you do not like the impression, then it is better to remove it with a cotton pad previously soaked in alcohol;
• try to create a manicure on different fingers in a different style, forming a certain system.
