I have had a fun day of playing with nail varnish today. The
New Black Nail products are fab if you like to experiment with colours and
textures.
The Typography set is something I haven’t seen before.
Paint the nails with
2 coats of the provided white nail polish. Some whites I find go patchy but
this white colour is really thick and opaque.
Once dry get hold of
one of the mini newspaper print sheets.
There are a couple of
styles of print covered in words such as live, love, peace passion, cherish etc
etc…all very sweet.
Cut the newspaper to fit over each nail. Once trimmed apply
the transfer solution over the painted nail, lay the print on top (print side
down) and apply more of the transfer solution on top.
The instructions then advise to press and hold an alcohol
soaked cotton pad on top of the nail for 30 seconds. I didn’t have any alcohol
to hand so used an alcohol based hand sanitizer gel which worked fine!
Gently peel off the newspaper and you will be left with
nails covered in type. So easy and looks great.
The final stage is to apply the topcoat to seal. I would
advise applying the topcoat sparingly as if you apply too much it leaves a pink
tint to the nail.
The Typography nail kit lasted for 2 days on my nail and then it started to look a little worn and grubby (white is a hard colour to keep looking fresh).
Good fun for a night out or special occasion.

The New Black Nail also do tons of other sets if type nails are not your thing.
Their Ombre kits are also really cool.Five shades of the same colour but graduated from light to dark. You can paint each nail a different colour for the true ombre look or paint them all the same.
