Newspaper Mani Part 3!


Here is Ulta's 'Bam-Blue-Zled' with newspaper print on it :)

This was actually the first one I did last week for this weeks challenge but I really didn't like the color on me all that much. I did turn out nice and dark with the transfer though so I thought I would show it anyway.



Here it is with a matte finish from China Glaze Matte Magic.This is when I learned that you can't use matte finish straight on the newspaper print without major smearing- see the pinkie.
 OK, well it doesn't look awful in the pic but it sure did in person!



I only wore this for about a day and a half.



Here it is just before I took it off. I thought I would play around with it a bit before I did though :) So here it is with glossy topcoat on the tips. 



And here with Sally Hansen's 'Wet Cement' on the tips. This would have looked better if it didn't have like 5 coats on the tips already. Not to mention that my 'Wet Cement' could have used a little polish thinner.

So what do you guys think? What is your favorite newspaper mani?

    Raych- Thanks! I love big rings, I have about 40 of them now and it just keeps growing. I pick them up at a local shop near by and I will see if they have anymore next time I'm in there. Maybe I'll have to start putting together a little package for you :) I'll take a pic of my rings for you and post it Monday.

    I like this newspaper design too. Especially with the matte finish. I think it looks more realistic that way.

    I agree, the matte finish really gives it a paper feel. Thanks ladies!

    Fingers- You know I was thinkin' of ya when I did that. You are forever in my brain- everytime I see a funky french I think 'Fingers'! :)

    Amy- Thanks, I usually like a gloss but this really begged for matte! It just fits.
