Have you ever wondered how to get nails straight from the pages of Elle Magazine? Ok, so it’s not as dramatic as it sounds but I love how fun magazine nails look and the technique is so simple.
To obtain magazine nails you will need:

• A magazine
• Scissors
• Nail polish (nude or white and a top coat)
• A cup of water (I kept it classy with a shot glass 😉 )

Step 1:
Cut up a few pages out of a magazine. You can use words or patterns to apply to your nail.
Step 2:
Paint your nails and make sure they are completely dry before the magazine is applied. I prefer using nude or white polish so the ink from the magazine transfers clearly.
Step 3;
Dip a magazine cut out in water and place it over your nail face down. Press hard on your nail for about 15 seconds so that the print fully transfers.

Step 4:
Remove the magazine strip and wipe off any excess ink with water. Apply a clear top coat and that’s it!


I opted to only apply the magazine to my “fashion nail” and added a midi ring for pizzazz but don’t be afraid to use the magazine nails technique on all of your nails.
Have you ever tried magazine nails?
