So you fancy yourself to be a writer, eh? Do you go to book shops almost daily? Can pass a stationary shop without going in? When you shop in Tesco, do you spend more time in the book section than the food section?
Well if you do all of the above thing, you gotta ask yourself a question, ‘I act like a writer but do I look like a writer?’ Well I have the answer for you.
Writerly Nails. Yeap, that right; Writerly Nails, people! I wrote about crackle glaze before, so check that out.
You will need:
1. Rubbing alcohol (or alcoholic hand wash)
2. A base nail varnish colour (neutral colour)
3. A light grey/pink/white nail varnish colour
4. A newspaper
5. Cotton buds
6. Nail varnish remover
Directions:
1. You can do this part the night before, or not at all. File your nails, buff them and apply oil or cream to give them a bit of TLC.
2. Cut the newspaper into small squares (double the size of your nails.)
3. Apply the base coat, this will prevent the grey colour discolouring your nails. Leave it dry for 2 minutes.
4. Apply the light grey nail varnish colour and leave dry for 6 minutes.
5. Put some rubbing alcohol into a small container and dip one finger in for about 5 seconds.
6. Pick up one piece of newspaper and then press one it onto your nail for 15 seconds, then peel off slowly.
7. Dip a cotton bud into nail varnish remover and use this to remove any excess newspaper print from your finger.
8. Apply a clear top coat.
9. A great tip is to also apply the clear varnish to the tip and under the tip of your nail, thus sealing the varnish and ensuring it will last even longer.
Hey presto you now have writerly nails.
