14. Newspaper Nails
Painting the nails with the newspaper style is an easy process which requires nail paint, some tit bits of newspaper and alcohol.

16. Close At Hand
We buy vegetables and fruits and along with it come the loofah net which goes straight into the dustbin.

Then paint the nails with golden or silver. When the net is removed, you will find a beautiful design on the nails.
