How To: Newspaper nail art!

Hi guys!!
I made a super easy tutorial on how to achieve the newspaper nail look on my youtube channel! It's my first video ever so I'm super excited about it and I'd love it if you could give me feedback about it after watching it :).

What you'll need is:
- Nail buffer, i used the 7-way Buffer from Trim
- Base coat
- White nail polish, i used Valmy in Chalk
- Black nail polish (optional), i used Valmy in Black
- Newspaper cut-outs (one for each finger) at least the size of your fingernail, a little bit bigger is better
- Any clear top coat


Overall tips for manicure:
- Buff the surface of your nails before applying the first coat of nail polish, this will make it stay in longer
- Get a wooden pick or a cuticle remover stick and have it near by, use it when you make little mistakes to remove the paint right away while it's still wet. I find it easier this way and less risky, since you don't need acetone to clean up and there's no chance you can ruin the manicure
- Leave your thumb for last, as silly as it sounds, i find myself more comfortable painting my non dominant hand when my thumb is un-painted lol.

I hope you guys liked this tips and hopefully i'll talk to you next time with another video :)!

Love,
