Newspaper Nails

Here are some pictures of my newspaper nail art. I experimented with a number of solutions to transfer the ink, and ended up going with Windex of all things! Here are some items I tried in the order of preference:

Almond Extract-this worked really well but I opted for the cheaper alternative

70% rubbing alcohol-this would have been my third choice

Lemon Extract-this was not bad

Soju-which is a Korean liquor-results were about the same as the lemon extract

Perfume-this was okay

Vinegar-did not work very well

On top of experiencing with solutions, I tried printing a mirrored image from an inkjet printer so the design would not be backwards but that didn't transfer very well. :-(
