Description

The listing, Newsprint/Newspaper Nails **No Credits Required** has ended.

No credits required! Here are the FREE instructions for Newspaper Nails! Something you can easily find if you just Google it :)

I'm listing this only because it annoys me to see other's post this auctions requiring your bid when it shouldn't. This isn't a hard to find tutorial at all.

Materials Need--
Top Color Nail Polish (clear)
Light colored nail polish
Rubbing Alcohol
Small bowl (or lid to alcohol)
Strips of newspaper to fit nails

Directions--

1. Pick a light colored nail polish (light grey/silver, light pink, pearl, white, etc--just make sure it's a light color!). Paint nails as you normally would (if you use a top coat before the color, go for it, but it's not needed). Allow to FULLY dry.

2. Dip finger into rubbing alcohol for 5-10 seconds. Be sure to pour the alcohol into a dish or lid. Don't dip it straight into the bottle :) Also, if you have a cut around your fingers, I suggest letting it heal before you do this. Alcohol burns! (one finger at a time! So dip, soak, move to next step BEFORE dipping the next finger)

3. Firmly press newspaper strip to nail. Hold in place for approximately 10 seconds. Slowly peel paper off nail.

4. Finish with a clear top coat to add shine and keep the newsprint on your nail (you must do this step, otherwise the print will wash away)

Now go show off your awesome looking nails!

**Please note, by bidding on this auction, you will NOT receive anything in the mail. If you'd like this sent to your personal email for an easier way to find this DIY later, I can do that.**

**No bidding required.

cool! thanks for the tutorial, and I might try this newspaper trick. I also get annoyed with auctions for DIY, spells or recipes, I avoid them like the plague!

I like to see what DIY are posted and then Google them. I love learning new tricks. But I refuse to "pay" for something that a person is just going to copy/paste from another website.

Enjoy :)

I've never seen nails done like this before. It's really cute. Thank you for sharing the instructions. One thing I'm confused about....why are people still bidding? LOL. At this point, I'm figuring it's because they are showing support for your gesture. Otherwise, all anybody has to do is Google the instructions if they want more. LoL. But, what you already provided is sufficient for doing the nails ourselves. LOL. Listia is so funny. Thanks again! I learned something new (although my daughter told me she already knows how to do them & has done hers like that before...I'm behind the times) lol

I'm with you, I'm confused on why they bid. But, I figure it's to show support. Which I truly appreciate.

And it's ok, I just now caught up with the nail art fad LOL

haha... I've done this a few times. I usually use grey, but recently learned that you can try it on almost any color. Thanks for putting this up-- :)

Also, why are people bidding on a free auction? lol Fanned! :)

I've done it with white and pink :)

I can't answer why people are bidding. Maybe as a nice gesture for listing this in the open? I have noticed a lot of the members bidding are new. I appreciate it either way, as I did make sure to mention this is what you get if you bid, nothing is being mailed.
