    Pour a bit of rubbing alcohol or water into the cap or into a small jar.

    Dip each nail into the rubbing alcohol for about 5 seconds each. [3]

    Peel it off carefully. You'll find that the ink from the newspaper will be left behind.

Add New Question

  • Question

    Can I do this without alcohol?

    Community Answer

    Yes. You can use water instead, but it leaves a lighter lettering on the nail. For a more intense lettering, use alcohol.

  • Question

    Are they hard to remove?

    Community Answer

    No, they are not hard to remove. You can remove them with regular nail polish remover.

  • Question

    Should I cut the newspaper into ten (10) parts?

    Community Answer

    That can be easier to work with, yes. You don't have to cut it though, you can just rip it into pieces if you like. The shape doesn't have to fit your nails.

  • Question

    Could I use a magazine instead of newspaper?

    Community Answer

    Not if the magazine is made with glossy sheets.

  • Question

    Can I add alcohol on top of the paper as well?

    Community Answer

    That's not necessary, and it may even make the paper harder to handle. Dry paper will be easier to work with, and is less likely to stick to itself.

  • Question

    Can I use pictures from a newspaper instead of letters?

    Community Answer

    It's not recommended. The ink in pictures get smudged easily, and it does not give a clear nail art impression.

  • Question

    I tried doing this with book text and magazine text and the only one that worked was the magazine text and it barely showed up. Does it have to be newpaper?

    HumanBeing

    Newspaper works best for making newspaper nails. The ink is soluble in alcohol, that's what makes this work. Other combinations of ink and paper will not produce the same results.

  • Question

    Will the ink leave the newspaper after I use it? Or can I still read the paper?

    Community Answer

    No, you won't be able to read the paper anymore after you use it, as the ink will have been transferred to your nails. It might be a good idea to read the paper first.

  • Question

    Do newspaper nails work with different colours of nail polish?

    Community Answer

    Yes, however the lettering may be harder to see than that on white polish, but it will still work.

  • Question

    Can I use nail polish remover instead of rubbing alcohol?

    Community Answer

    Yes. As long as it contains some form of alcohol or acetone, then it should work.

  • Make sure you wait until your nails are dry before dipping them into the rubbing alcohol.

  • You can find rubbing alcohol in drugstores, most supermarkets, and medicine cabinets.

  • Instead of wasting the rubbing alcohol use alcohol pads and use the newspaper like a tattoo. It's a lot cleaner that way!
