In my last post, Jennifer had asked me about what nail polish I was wearing. Would you believe it’s not your normal nail polish (and there was zero dry time?).

Since I’ve tried Minx nails, which I wasn’t totally impressed with, I was put on to Sally Hansen’s Salon Effects Real Nail Strips by LDiva herself from Divalicious.

I just couldn’t resist…it’s the journalist in me:

Newspaper nails

Stumbled upon these newspaper-print nails, that were literally made using newspaper. The blog where you can find a tutorial on these nails is written in French though…so unless parlez vous Français, I suggest heading over to Google Translate to de-code these tips!
