This isn't really a tutorial just a quick manicure idea. In October I went to New York Comic Con and did an Avengers manicure for the event, so I snapped a few quick pictures with my phone.
SUPPLIES:
Base coat
White (or whatever background color you like) polish
Comic Books
Scissors
Nail Clippers
Nail Glue
Top Coat
Start with neat, clean, shaped nails.
Add a clear base coat.
When base coat is dry polish your nails with your background color. I chose white.
Once your background color is dry, cut the images you want to use out of the comic book. Be sure that you have selected a book with images small enough to fit on your nails.
The comic book I used had thick glossy pages, so to get them to stick to the nail I first placed a thin line of glue down the center back of the image. Then stuck it to the nail. Be sure that the image isn't covering your cuticle. If it hangs over the edge of your nail it can be trimmed later.
Once the center of the image is stuck, squeeze a small bit of glue under one side and push it down along the side of the nail. Once dry do the same on the opposite side.
Trim any excess paper over hanging the edge of the nail.
Put on a layer of top coat being sure to cover the edge of the nail thoroughly to fully seal.
VOILA! COMIC BOOK NAILS.
HAVE FUN BOOS
