Original nail design (newspaper technique) DIY
Greetings dear friends of Steemit and my beloved Beauty Blogers today I want to share a very original nail design technique, it is about making your nails a newspaper effect, it is easy to make and it looks great to use every day. Whenever I do this design people ask me how I can do it and I quickly explain to them, I have friends who learned this technique from me and today I share it for you, my dear readers.
Before performing the manicure first we will do our homemade hands spa, which involves exfoliating the hands to remove dead cells, soften the skin and prepare it for the other products; For this task I am using the exfoliating cream for the body of Valmy, then we will apply the moisturizer of our preference, my favorite is the Skin Solutions of Valmy, I have an earlier post where I speak with better detail about these creams to see it click here.
Another important step is to moisturize your nails to remove the yellowish appearance, you can use coconut oil or the one of your preference, it works as a cuticle conditioner if you massage them, this will favor the growth of the nails and is also relaxing. Wait a few minutes and remove the oil with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol, we could use enamel remover but this would dry our nails and we will have lost the job..
Tip: Never cut your cuticles, cut them cause wounds, infections and favors the appearance of fungi, every time the cuts stimulate their growth and they will grow thicker, moisturize and push them with an orange stick is enough to improve their appearance and growth of your nails.
To enhance the design of the newspaper we need the following materials:
White nail polish.
transparent nail polish.
Alcohol.
A sheet of newspaper.
Scissors.
Once we have all the materials on hand we cut ten rectangles of newspaper where only text appears, small letters and close together, the classifieds will work. The measure of the cuts will be the length of the nail and the width of the fingers. We reserve the bits of newspaper and go to the action.
The first thing is to place a thin layer of transparent nail polish as the base of our manicure, two layers of white enamel and let dry. Now we take a container with alcohol and submerged one of the pieces of paper for several seconds, then pressed on the nail for a few seconds to transfer the ink from the paper to the enamel. When we remove the paper the letters will be engraved, we repeat the process on the rest of the fingers, we seal with transparent nail polish and we can already show our original design.
