For this look I was inspired by @Kimiko7878 on Instagram, a really old nail art she did but still always give credit where credit is due!
This was the second time I used the newspaper technique. Last time I used water to soak the paper, this time I used 70% alcohol to see if the effect would be any different. I felt like the letters did transfer somewhat easier, but they didn't appeared more visible on the nail. So if you can't find alcohol to use, just use tapwater and keep the paper in the water for a little while longer.
The basecolour I used is Minty Memories from the Luxury Vintage collection by Catrice. The vines/leaves are done with black acrylic paint.
This colour dries to a matt finish, I don't know if this made the transfer more difficult but if you don't want to risk it just add a glossy topcoat.
Next nail art will be the last one for the GlamNailsChallenge. I don't think I will do another challenge the upcoming month because I know I am going to be extremely busy and don't want to feel rushed when I do have time to do my nails. There will still be nail arts but I don't know how many!
