Pretty Or Pretty Ugly? Map Manicures

Pretty or Pretty Ugly? Map ManicuresI saw this on Pinterest today  and thought,  ”I guess with a manicure like this we’ll know where your hands have been.”

The method is similar to the newspaper manicure that has been popular for some time and is quite easy (imagine a slightly more labor intensive  version of silly putty and the Sunday comics.)

Will I be trying?  Heck no.  I’m a slob with a bottle of nail polish and prefer it to be done for me.  Yet, I’m happy to share the procedure with you.

What do you think?  Pretty or Pretty Ugly?

  1. Start with a clear base coat
  2. Apply a white polish color and let dry
  3. Dip each finger in alcohol completely covering each nail  (Vodka is suggested, but who the heck is wasting a good bottle of Vodka on something like this?)
  4. Press a strip of a the map, large enough to cover the whole nail, over each alcohol soaked nail.
  5. Leave on for a few seconds and then peel off
  6. Finish with a clear top coat to seal the design and to keep it from rubbing off.
