Nail Art Tutorial: NEWSPAPER NAILS

It's obviously been a long time since my last post of nail tutorial. I am making it up by posting this nice and easy nail art using a newspaper. Either you're a beginner or never had tried any nail art; I know that this would be pretty easy for you to do.

To begin with, grab a piece from your newspaper and prepare the materials needed.

Alcohol, White polish, Colorless polish, Nude polish, Top coat, and newspaper cut into cubes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step No.1) Apply the Nude polish onto nails. This step is preparing your nails for the application of the White polish so it will show the opacity.

Step No.2) Apply the White polish onto nails. Apply 2-3 coats until it looks opaque.

Step No.3) After the White polish gets dry, pour a little amount of alcohol directly onto nails or if you have a cap of any plastic bottle to make it as little container, pour enough amount of alcohol onto cap/ container and then dip in each nails one at a time.

Step No.4) After dipping the nail in alcohol, take the cubed newspaper and press it down gently onto nails. Make sure you press the newspaper all over your nail for an obvious result. Then, quickly take-out the newspaper.

Step No.5) The newspaper obviously sticks onto your nail and that leaves a rough surface because of the excess paper. You can either go to the faucet and GENTLY rub the excess paper (take note: rub gently; you do not want to ruin the design)

or you can use a wet Q-tip/ cotton bud and rub it onto your nail to smooth you nail's surface.

Step No.6) Lastly, dry your hands/ nails. Apply your Colorless polish and finish it with your favorite Top coat to protect your nail art.

Newspaper Nails

I told you, it's that easy. It's not only that you have a cute nail art design but you are also telling the whole world that you have used a newspaper in decorating your nails. So, you've helped to recycle the paper in your most kikay way.

Much love,

Chicago’s Coolest 80-Year-Old Reveals Her Beauty and Style Secrets

Meet Mamie Walton, local philanthropist, British import, and hands-down the coolest and most stylish 80-year-old we've ever met. We fell hard for Mamie for a million reasons, most notably her warm, positive personality and undeniable grace and style. We can only attempt to follow in her flawless footsteps, so to point us in the right direction Mamie shared her secrets for staying beautiful and maintaining stunning style at every single age. You'll have nothing but respect for this O.G. (Original + Gorgeous) once you learn how she's stayed this stunning into her 80s. These timeless tips from a master are ones you can't live without.

Beauty
1. Exercise. Mamie, a former dancer, is a firm believer in the benefits of exercise, and has always kept in shape. "Exercise is so important, it's kept me around for a great many years." She devotes at least an hour a day to exercise. "I spend at least 30 minutes each day at the ballet barre, and I use, you know, the Chinese Wand."

2. Skincare. "I'm very particular about my skin." Mamie was a fan of Erno Laszlo for 25 years, but eventually moved on to products from La Prairie, and her current favorite, from Dr. Ivo Pitanguy. "Specifics is his line, I just love it."

3. Positivity. "I am a very positive person." Mamie's positivity and bright personality were evident in our interview, and this tip came as no surprise. "My mother would say, 'Always have a smile,' I believe that positivity and showing interest in other people helps you look better."
