November 17, 2014I’ve seen somebody doing her nails using the newspaper. And guess what, the letters from the newspaper transferred to her nails and it looks awesome. I guess that’s a good DIY idea too.

JoAnna Kopp
November 16, 2014How cool! I have tried out fake nails a few times, but they feel really gross on my fingers and all kinds of dirt gets stuck underneath them, so I definitely prefer nail appliques since they are flush with the nail. Thanks for the tutorial 😀
