How fun are these! It's newspaper print on nails and it's super easy to do.
1. Paint nails with nail polish.
2. After polish has dried dip nail into alcohol. I used rubbing alcohol, but the directions suggests vodka. I was all out of my week's supply... ;) Kidding!
3. Press a strip of newspaper on top of the nail (nail should be wet with alcohol).
4. Gently pull strip away.
5. Apply a top coat after nails have dried.

Here's my first attempt...
Not bad, but I smudged the index finger.
Here's my daughter's nails...
I discovered this tute via Pinterest.
On a different note, I've joined Facebook. I know. It was a moment of weakness. I've tried so hard to hold out all these years, but finally I was like what the heck. And you know what? So far so good. When you work from home you kind of miss co-workers. You don't get to chit chat about the kids, who's dating who, who's had botax (which I totally think Megan Fox has... I'm just sayin), and all that meaningful stuff. Now with Facebook, I consider my "friends" my co-workers. When I need a break from work I just click on over to the water cooler and chat.
Anywho, I'm happy to announce there is a Jamie Christina Facebook page. As I navigate my way through the wonderful world of social technology, I'll add more to the page. Here's the link.
Cheers,
Jamie
