Gorgeous! I've been wanting to do  newsprint nails. My nails at the moment are a bit sad

[Noasar]

Wow they are gorgeous!!

[Eviecorn]

Oh man, I want to do newsprint nails now!

I didn't get a pic, but I did nail art on myself last week!  I painted my tips hot pink and black alternating.  I just redid them though, just in peacock blue-green.

OMG you guys, success is mine!

Freehanded it    I used 2 coats of China Glaze for the black, then Esse "Matte About You" on each nail.  Then I just used Seche Vite top coat for the tips, which magically made them shiny!  It was awesome and pretty easy.

I remember when I was about 6 about 9 years ago now and I went to a party at my school and me and my friends got our nails done - with pretty butterflies that were sparkly! It was so long ago now.. one thing I remember was climbing in the corner outside because it was rocky.. good times..

I tried it with several shades of pink first and noticed that it hardly shows up at all with light colors.  I had a deep red/pink for Valentine's Day and then switched to black after.  The black definitely shows up best.  So just go for the darkest teal you can find.

Newsprint nails are my next project!

Very cool.

I like your steampunk gear one.

Ooohhh the black nails came out great!

I have an almost black teal I'll have to use. A tip with the newsprint nails is to not soak your nail too long in the alcohol or it will kind of make it tacky and the newsprint will stick to the actual polish. Post pics when you finish the newsprint manicure!

Anyone use Konad stamping kits?

I haven't tried the stamping set, but 'd be curious to.

I have to come up with something new to try for this weekend. Gonig to a bacelorette party this weekend. We're all wearing black, but I don't have any black nail polish at the moment. Hmmm

The stamping set is seriously tricky, but SO worth it for french manicures. I mean, really really worth it. I have a pic somewhere of a Christmas manicure I did with Konad... I'll try and find it.

What about a colorful ombre look? I dig ombre so hard, I guess I'm biased because I have ombre hair.

ETA: This is last week's nail art... white crackle on grey and a teal accent. Ignore the messiness on my ring finger and the big ol' splotch of manic panic on my finger.

Too bad, I was going to suggest the double black french.  That might be my new "going out on the town" look
