This week's mani was inspired by my sister in law and by another Instagram nail account. This nail account is called my.polished.life. This was the first time I tried newspaper nails and it was so easy! For this manicure you will need newspaper, alcohol swabs, red nail polish, white nail polish, black nail polish, a nail art brush and a tiny dotting tool.
I started off with a base coat of OPI nail envy maintenance. I then did two coats of OPI Alpine Snow. Then I grabbed a piece of newspaper that had lettering on it. I then opened up a packet of an alcohol swab and removed it from the packaging. I then took the newspaper and placed it over the nail and placed the swab on top of the newspaper while it was on the nail. I left it on the nail until it was completely wet, maybe 10 seconds. Then I removed the paper and it left lettering on the nail. I did this to all of my nails except for my ring fingernail. I then took my black nail polish, Revlon Color Stay Stiletto, and my nail art brush and drew on lines on my ring fingernail so that it looks like an envelope. I then used a red nail polish, L.A. Colors GEL Fierce and a tiny dotting tool to paint on a small heart on the envelope. Once that was completely dry, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of Poshe.

This was so fun and so simple! I really liked doing this manicure. I hope you enjoyed this look and I will see you next time!
