Pictures Again?

And I painted.
And because I got distracted last week, how to do newsprint nails:
1. Paint your nails light color and let dry thoroughly.
2. Tear a piece of newspaper into slightly larger than nail-size pieces.
3. Fill a shot glass or small bowl with rubbing alcohol.
4. Dunk one finger in the alcohol for five seconds.
5. Press a piece of newspaper onto your nail with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol for 5-10 seconds.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all your nails are to your liking.
7. Finish with a clear topcoat to keep the ink from smudging.
So you don’t have the same old picture to look at, my current nails instead of newsprint:
