Disney Challenge...Mulan....hmmm

Argggh why oh why cant every day be the same...art wise i mean? yesterdays Gothic snow white was so cool because it came together so well, i LOVED doing that.  Today, i decided to opt for mulan in a traditional sense because to be honest i ha vent seen the film so i don't know the character very well at all.

From the pics i found on the Internet my mulan doesn't look Chinese enough for my liking, super damn!

I decided to do some newspaper nails to, using Chinese newspaper, that looked kinda cool and i liked that a lot....

So there we have it...a not Chinese looking enough Mulan, check out the other ladies taking part!

tutorial of newspaper nails!

Hello my lovelies.  I am here today to show you guys a lil tutorial I have made...I am showing you today how to do newspaper nail art nails!.  This is a super fun and super easy design to do.  I have decided not to do the standard English newspaper writing...I have been dying to do some different style newspaper nails and the lovely Daisy Lee from Born Pretty sent me some clippings of her foreign paper...bless you Daisy, I really appreciate it!  So without further ado here s my little tutorial for you guys. 
select your newspaper you want to use and cut up into squares...like so
pour some alchol into a dappen dish

I painted my nails in OPI My boyfriend scales the walls.....PERFECT colour for this as it isnt a stark white , most papers are light grey so this is perfect as it has grey undertones.  PLEASE NOTE you need to do this design when nails are still a bit sticky.....not really wet and defo not dry.....




Take the square of newspaper and dip it into the vodka for approx 10 seconds
Place the wet paper over the nails and press firmly down, whilst pressing down firmly roll the  finger over the paper...taking care to get all of the nail pressed.

remove the paper and this is what you should be left with!

easy peasy!
Topcoating your nails is very important ...it protects your manicure!

I used Northern Lights Silver Holo Topcoat for a little added sparkle...it doesn't show a great deal on my camera but it is there!
 I hope you guys have found this hepful...if you have any questions....let me know xxxxx
