Beautiful and well-groomed hands are the pride of any woman, and the original and stylish nail design emphasizes her unique image. Recently, “newspaper” coverage has been very popular. It not only gives originality to the manicure, but is also easy to perform.

Benefits of newspaper manicure

Newspaper manicure has a number of advantages that make this design very popular with fashionistas:

the color palette has a wide range, this allows you to use it for any style and shade of clothing;
thanks to the use of scrap materials, it is very affordable;
each nail can be decorated in its own way, changing the direction of the letters or covering a different area of the nail plate;
the procedure is so simple that even beginners can handle it;
looks harmonious on both long and short nails.

For newspaper design, it is better to use light shades of varnish.

How to create a newspaper print yourself

The main material for creating a manicure is a newspaper font. The base coverage may vary.

For work, you will need the following materials:

newspaper or other print publication;
varnish fixer;
alcohol or water to wet the newspaper;
tweezers.

Before applying newspaper print to your nails, you need to do a hygienic unedged manicure.

Newspaper gel polish manicure

Cut 10 rectangles 2x3 cm from the newspaper.
Pour alcohol or other alcohol-containing liquid into a small container.
Apply varnish to the nail plates and let the base dry completely. Some nail technicians recommend waiting 6-8 hours.
Dip a newspaper rectangle in alcohol and hold it for 10 seconds.
Apply a piece of newspaper to the nail and press firmly for 30 seconds. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the paper does not move, otherwise the print will be smeared. If it suddenly moved out, the unsuccessful image should be wiped off with a cotton pad dipped in alcohol.
Remove the newspaper from the nail and let the print dry.
Apply a fixer over the resulting pattern and dry the nails in an ultraviolet or LED lamp.

Newspaper nail art looks most impressive on rectangular nails, while it is advisable to choose light shades of base varnish.

Newspaper nail art without the use of alcohol

The newspaper print can be transferred to the nails without the use of alcohol-containing liquids. In this case, you need to be more careful when creating the design.

Prepare newspaper rags and a container of water.
Apply varnish to the nails. It should dry out, but not completely (sticky a little).
Soak a newspaper in water and press it gently against the varnish. To get a clearer print, do not move the paper while pressing.
The newspaper should dry completely. Then it should be carefully removed.
The resulting design must be coated with a fixer or colorless varnish.

With this option, the manicure may turn out to be not entirely ideal, since at the time of removing the paper, the surface of the varnish is slightly damaged, and irregularities appear on it. For a more accurate transfer, you can use the solution transfer tool specially created for this purpose. In this case, the base varnish must dry completely. Then solution transfer is applied to the nails and newspaper, and the paper is pressed against the nail plate for 3-5 seconds.

To transfer the typeface from the newspaper to your nails, you can use the solution transfer tool, which is specially designed for newspaper manicure.

Newspaper design fantasies

It may seem that a newspaper type manicure has a meager range of options. But if you experiment, you can get many original designs.

Color transitions

Gradient technique in manicure has reliably consolidated its position. In this case, a smooth transition from one shade to another is carried out. In this case, shades can be contrasting (for example, white - black) or barely differ from each other. Against this background, the printed font will look original.

French style

Newspaper print can be applied to the tip of the nail or partially cover the nail plate.

Different direction of the text

The option in which newspaper rags can be applied in different directions will especially appeal to beginners. In this case, you do not have to monitor the clear position of the paper.

Applied manicure

When creating nail art, pieces of newspaper may remain on the surface of the nail. In this case, the paper is covered with a colorless varnish on top, and the printed manicure is denser and lasts longer.

Negative

A newspaper print looks original in a negative image, when a white font is printed on a black base. To create such a manicure, you need to find text on a dark background in printed publications, or independently print white letters on black paper.

One letter

Nail art looks stylish and extraordinary when only one letter is depicted on each nail. In this variant, words can be added.

Newspaper design makes manicure original and attractive. Even a beginner is able to master the technique of applying a typeface to nails. For these reasons, newspaper nail art fell in love with many fashionistas.

Many nail design ideas can only be realized by experienced masters with experience. However, the participation of specialists can be dispensed with by adopting a newfangled method with the use of newspapers, which does not require special skills and expensive manicure products. Using the print of the printed matter, you can achieve an extremely attractive result.

In this case, there is no need for stencils and varnish paints. The necessary funds are at hand:

liquid containing alcohol;
transparent fixing varnish;
newspaper;
light monochromatic varnish as a base.

When choosing a color scheme of the latter, there are no restrictions. A common option is white. Peach or beige will also work. Yellow is for those who like bright solutions. The main thing is that dark characters do not get lost in the background.

A substitute for colorless varnish will be a fixing liquid that will protect the drawing from damage.

The first element of the list is equally important. Someone uses a nail polish remover. In this case, keep in mind: the presence of acetone leads to the fact that the paper fragments stick to the nails and leave irregularities. However, the alcohol makes the rendering of the translated letters slightly faint.

Manicure from the newspaper: step by step instructions

1. Pre-cut from the waste paper a small piece for each finger. Calculate the size so that the pieces of paper hide the nail, but are not too sweeping: this will interfere with working on adjacent fingers. Pick up thick paper, otherwise the material will lose its integrity and stick to the varnish.

Keep in mind! With sheets from glossy magazines, you will waste your efforts: the print simply will not transfer.

To find the appropriate newspaper, rub the page on clean paper. If a dark trail remains, then stop at this material.

2. Prepare your nails. And it doesn't matter what shape they are. "Newspaper" decoration looks good in any case. Forget about building up and other manipulations. The only condition is to get rid of the cuticles and small burrs. If this is not done, after applying the main varnish, the nails will take on an unsightly look. To ensure a flawless finish, it is polished or sanded.

3. We give the nail color. After completing the first layer and waiting for drying, proceed to the second. This achieves uniformity of color.

Keep in mind! Make sure that the varnish is completely set and only then proceed, otherwise deformation or partial slipping cannot be avoided.

4. Fill the makeshift bath with an alcohol-based liquid and lower the nail in there for a few seconds (up to 10).

Keep in mind! Delay will cause the varnish to peel off completely.
Place the piece of newspaper upside down. If it seems to you that the paper is not wet enough, then add a drop of alcohol. The time to dry depends on the density of the material and varies from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Press down gently on the newspaper. If it moves, it will blur the texture. The pieces should overlap so that the text is in the same direction.

5. Remove the original tracing paper. It is better to do this with a swift movement from the nail.

6. Fix the result with a clear varnish. For greater reliability, it is not forbidden to apply several layers.

Express method

If you are pressed for time or unwilling to wait, you can trust the simple instructions:

Treat your nails and grind the newspaper as in the previous method.
After covering the nail with the main varnish, wait until it dries slightly.
Soak some of the newspaper in rubbing alcohol and press down on the nail plate. It's okay if the fragment is crumpled. Line it up with your finger or cotton swab with quick but neat strokes.
While controlling the force, gently pull back on the paper. This is a crucial stage, so you need to try.
Finish with a couple of coats of fixative or varnish.

Different approaches to design

It is not at all necessary to dwell on what was described earlier. "Newspaper" manicure is a whole direction that goes well with other design ideas.

A combination of French and newspaper methods will help to emphasize the femininity of your image. To do this, pieces of paper with an even edge are applied to the upper edge, without going over the pink part of the nail.
If you want to follow the latest fashion trends, then you will surely be interested in the “breakaway” print. For production, the newspaper is torn into small and careless pieces, which are printed in a random manner. It would seem that a chaotic approach cannot give a decent result. However, this technique forms an extremely original pattern, and scuffs and fragments that are not fully developed give the composition a certain charm of antiquity.
From the point of view of execution, this is no more difficult than the usual way. So it would be foolish not to try.
In terms of originality, the "money" manicure does not lag behind. Capturing a portrait of Franklin, another historical figure or a landmark on your nails is not a cheap pleasure. After all, the bill after such processing will lose its value.
Material losses can be avoided by sacrificing a geographical map to beauty or trying to repeat the relief of snakeskin by choosing a suitable paper image.
Feel free to get creative: try using a variety of symbols, such as musical notation.
Font stamping is not the only way to go. Among other things, you can put pieces of newspaper soaked in water on varnished nails, wait until they dry, and secure them with clear varnish.

A great way to realize your creative "I"

Performing such a manicure does not imply outstanding skill. However, some skill is still required if you want to implement the idea on the first try. It is easy to make a mistake in the selection of material or to allow smudging of the inscriptions. But this disadvantage is compensated by the simplicity and efficiency of the work.

Despite the fact that the workspace is limited to a small area of nails, there are more options for metamorphosis and opportunities for self-expression than it might seem at first glance. Since the carriers of the creation will not be canvas or paper, you will be able to contemplate a unique manicure wherever you are.

A few ideas for newspaper manicure

Hello everyone! Today I want to offer you a very effective and at the same time uncomplicated option. manicure with newspaper text on nails ... In a similar way, you can apply absolutely any text to your nails - the main thing is that it is printed on thin enough paper - so that you can experiment, choose different fonts, languages and phrases. Although, in my opinion, "newspaper" manicure looks advantageous regardless of what exactly is written, since it creates the effect that the text was printed directly on the nail plate. As a result, the questions "How? How did you do it?" In fact, very simple. Look.

For a "newspaper" manicure you will need:

Clear varnish or nail base. We will need it to apply the surface layer (to fix the manicure), therefore, even if you are doing a manicure without a base, you need a transparent varnish.
White nail polish (or another light color) for the background.
Alcohol or any liquid containing alcohol. It can be pure medical alcohol, and a cosmetic product (face lotion, alcohol-containing spray, etc.), or an alcoholic drink (vodka, etc.). The higher the alcohol content, the faster and clearer the print will be on the nail. This time I used what was at hand - a bottle of dry gin with a strength of 47%.))
Actually, the newspaper with which you will transfer text to your nails. I found a newspaper in English, as I like the way the Latin text looks on the nails, and chose an article in a smaller font. Choose in advance which sections of the text from the newspaper you want to use in your manicure. You will need a little text - you can make a dozen or more times from one newspaper spread "text" manicure.
Cotton pads. It is not necessary to have a whole pack, 1-2 pieces will be enough.

How "newspaper" manicure is done

1) We put the nails in order (file, etc.) and apply the base. This step, of course, is not necessary, however, with the base, the manicure will hold up better and the nails will be safer, so I advise you not to skip it. I apply a transparent base in 1-2 coats. Then we wait until the base is dry.

2) Apply the background. White will look the best because it is a contrasting color to black, but you can always try any other color. On a transparent background, the text will be somewhat lost, but it also looks good. I also recommend trying beige for the effect of an "aged" newspaper.

The background should dry well.

3) While the background layer of varnish is drying, cut pieces of newspaper from which you will transfer text to your nails. You can make a blank for each nail, but not necessary - I use one piece of newspaper for each thumb, and one large piece for the other four. Large pieces of newspaper are easier to work with in my opinion.

4) Now the most important thing. We take a cotton pad, soak it well with alcohol, and with this cotton pad we tightly press a piece of newspaper to the nail (so that the newspaper is sandwiched between the nail and the cotton pad with the face to the nail). Alternatively, you can soak the newspaper itself with alcohol. The disc is needed in order to evenly distribute the force and not accidentally tear the wet newspaper with your fingers.

After you have applied the alcohol-free newspaper to the nail plate, press it with your fingers over the entire surface of the nail so that the text is evenly printed, and hold it for a few seconds. Make sure that the newspaper does not move, otherwise the text will be printed several times or smudged.

5) Repeat the procedure for applying text for each nail. The text on the already treated nails will hold more or less firmly - a light touch will not hurt it, but if you touch the nail hard enough, the text will smear. Therefore, be careful.

6) Wait a few minutes until all the printed text and the alcohol remaining on the nails are dry, and secure the manicure with 1-2 layers of clear varnish. This step is required, otherwise the text will soon be erased and smudged. The brush itself, when applying varnish, also easily smears newspaper text, so I recommend dripping varnish onto the nail with a thick drop and then gently distributing it with a brush, touching only the surface of the varnish and not touching the nail plate itself.

That's all. You can see the approximate result in the photo.

It remains to add that when the text is applied in this way (putting the newspaper with its front side to the nail plate), the text is printed on the nail in a mirror image. Therefore, if you want the text to be readable, you will have to look for a newspaper with a clean reverse side and soak it more heavily with alcohol so that the text is imprinted through and through. Or prepare a "newspaper" yourself by printing the desired text with a mirror image on thin paper (sold in ordinary stationery stores along with standard office paper).

Good luck! Who will try such a manicure, I suggest sharing a photo in the comments.

Today, a huge number of different forms and styles of nail design are available for use. Newspaper manicure at home is what a girl who wants to look interesting and original needs.

choice of other colors of base varnish (looks good on yellow);
decoration with patterns, beads or other materials.

Interesting advice for schoolgirls and students: you can write small cheat sheets with black paste on free areas in the newspaper and translate yourself a manicure with tips.

Since asymmetric manicure is very fashionable today (covering nails with different colors, giving different patterns, etc.), you can paint on the nails on each hand only with a base varnish, and create a newspaper print only on two fingers.
