Touched By Your Words

This look is inspired by something I saw on Instagram. I thought it was super cute and just wanted to try it out to see if it was as easy as google made it sound.






Step 1: Paint your nails with either a white or off-white color. This is Himilaya by B.S.N.

Step 2: Let nails dry completely before dipping them in rubbing alcohol.

Step 3: Immediately after dipping nails in rubbing alcohol place newspaper strip on top of nail. Try not to move it in order to avoid smudging the letters. 

Step 4: Dab a little more rubbing alcohol on top of the paper that is still on your nails so that it's pretty wet and the color can take to your nails. 

Step 5: Gently remove strips of news paper.

Step 6: Paint over nails with top coat.



And it's that easy! It's a really cool look and even if you were doing a sloppy job and watching Precious like I was, it still looks pretty cool. I wasn't exactly going for an older library book kind of look but since that's what ended up happening and it looks pretty cool regardless, we'll go with that. Try it out and let me know how it came out! 

- Lots of Love
