You Need:

• Base and Top Coat & nail Polish.
• Any newspaper (use a foreign language newspaper for an even more abstract design!)
• Rubbing Alcohol.

1 - apply a thin layer of your favorite base coat. Then, apply two coats of any polish in a light to medium shade. Choose a creamy, non-shimmery texture for best results.
2 - find any newspaper on-hand. Cut ten 2" x 1" strips (one for each nail), and set aside.
3 - dip the whole nail into a small bowl of rubbing alcohol. We're using 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol but 70% works just as well. Then, dip one newspaper strip into your small bowl of alcohol and shake it out.
4 - Overlay that newspaper strip directly on the nail bed and don't move!
5 - Take an alcohol-dampened paper towel and apply light pressure on the nail like a temporary tattoo.
6 - After 10 full seconds, slowly peel off the strip and you'll see the ink imprint. Repeat this process for each nail.
7 - Allow nails to dry again for five full minutes, then seal the deal with your favorite top coat.
