Fun & Easy Tattoo Nail Art using Magazine Pages



Save yourself a trip to the salon by doing your own nail art at home using magazine pages.

What you will need:
-Magazine
-Colored Base of choice
-Clear nail base
-50% Rubbing Alchol
-Cotton balls
-Q-tips
-Fingernail Polish Remover

Steps:
1.)Paint nail with a clear base and then coat with your base color.
2.) Allow 3 minutes drying time
3.) Wet your nail with alcohol using a cotton ball
4.) Take a pattern from a magazine page and cover the nail. Wet the page over the nail with alcohol using a cotton ball. Let the alcohol sit over the page and nail for a minute or two.
5.) Peel the page off the nail slowly and coat with a clear base.
6.) Take a Q-tip and polish remover to wipe of any ink that may have gotten on your skin.



I chose to use the pattern of a Balenciaga runway dress
