How to Create Newspaper Print Nail Art

Newspaper print nail art is a unique and creative design that transfers text from newspaper onto your nails. To create this look, start with a base coat and a light-colored base polish. Once dry, cut small pieces of newspaper and soak them in alcohol. Press the soaked newspaper onto your nail and hold for a few seconds. Carefully peel off the newspaper, leaving the print on your nail. Finish with a top coat to protect the design. This artistic style can be enhanced with the precision typical of Russian manicures, ensuring clean and detailed prints.
