News On Nails.

Alrighty! So, to kick-off this blog, I'll share a recent nails look I did! I've seen this design a lot on soompi (a forum I visit frequently) and I've been itching to try it out. So yesterday, I gave it a go! I call it "News on nails." ^_^

Here's the final look:

Please excuse the messiness of the polish. But for a first try, I think it looks pretty decent, wouldn't you agree? ;) It took a couple of tries before I got it right. For instance, you have to REALLY press down the newspaper onto the nail...and I found that counting to 15 worked the best. I know...the thumb is messed up in the right bottom corner...but after doing it 3 times, I wasn't in the mood to do it again.

I really like this design...even though it's kind of random to have words on your nails. And definitely because you can't even read the words! Yes, I did...idiotically...try to read the words on my nails. Then I realized that I couldn't. My brothers kept telling me to put certain words on my nails...and I had to explain to them that you couldn't read it anyway because of how the printing is transferred to the nail.

But it's still a great design that you should all try out! One thing I would recommend: use a lighter colored base. This grey color turned out a lot darker than I had wanted. So I'm definitely going for a paler base color next time. ^^


Much love,
