We've all seen the trend for newspaper nails, and you may have even seen the scrapbook paper nails, but have you seen these map nails?! I LOVE maps and so when I realized I could do these, I was EXCITED! The day after doing them I had to go to work to get ready for my return (I cannot believe my maternity leave is over already!) and I got a LOT of compliments from my colleagues about this nail style.
What You'll need:
White Nail Polish
White Nail Polish
Clear Nail Polish
Rubbing Alcohol
Q-Tip
Q-Tip
Map
How to do it:
Paint two coats of nail polish onto the nail and let dry thoroughly. I painted mine in the morning and did the maps that afternoon. If white is too bright for you, use a base or tan color.
Cut map into small pieces, I measured them to the size of my nails. This makes them easier to apply. Put rubbing alcohol on the back of it and rub it onto nail with a Q-Tip for at least a minute. Press firmly and use the Q-tip to cover the entire nail. Pull off gently.
The pattern will now be on the nail. Cover with a clear coat of nail polish and let dry.
Show off your nails and love em!
