Simply awesome...

What you need:

• a small glass of rubbing alcohol or vodka
• 10 strips of newspaper (bigger than your nails)
• LIGHT nailpolish. white, clear, light pink, etc. anything LIGHT

Now do this:

• Dip your nails in the alcohol for a while, so that the whole nail is wet.
• Press a strip of the newspaper on your nail and hold firmly for 30 seconds. do NOT move the strip, keep it firm.
• Go over your nails with a clear coat so it’ll last.
