Newspaper nails

This is a tried and true method on how to do newspaper nails! 








 First, put a base clear coat on your nails.  Wait until dry to continue.

Next, choose a color that is light but NOT see through. Like cream,gray,light pink,light blue, yellow, or white. Paint a coat of the color of your choice, then add a second coat.

Put another clear coat on your nails.

Now, take rubbing alcohol and put it in a small, shallow dish.

Take a newspaper, picking fonts of your choice, and cut it into strips that are twice the height and twice the width of your nails. You do not need to be exact.

Take 1 strip and dip it into the alcohol so that it is completely covered. Place the strip over a nail so that the nail is COMPLETELY covered and apply pressure. Hold the strip there for at least 15 seconds, and be careful not to move the paper. Remove the strip, and repeat the process for the other nails using a new strip for each.

Now, cover your nails with another clear coat. DONE!!!

Harry Potter goes muggle

Harry Potter lay awake in bed, staring up at the ceiling. On the wall, he followed the small cracks and crevices with his eyes, scanning ever so slowly while waving his wand carelessly in the air... and then the power went out. Literally.The wand became dull and lost its sparkle, shrinking into a stick.
"Ron, Hermione, what on earth did you guys do to my wand?!"Harry screamed.
Ron and Hermione rushed into Harry's bedroom, also holding dim wands. The group turned and stared at the wall. It was disintegrating into a projection of the Minister of Magic.
"The ministry has fallen. Ollivander's wand service has gone, and You-know-who got into the GREAT BOOK OF WANDS and cast a spell to disappear good magic, that is, until someone can stop it. You have been warned- live as a muggle would and share no secrets of the wizard world. Goodbye- perhaps for eternity!" The projection stated, and a second later, it disappeared.
"What in the world is this? A joke? Blimey mate, he's just pulling our leg, right?" Ron whimpered.
Harry and Hermione remained silent.
"Right?" Ron asked frantically.
But the truth was clear that the wizard world was gone... and they couldn't do anything about it. The three wizards walked out of the room and stared out at the world, not knowing what secrets it held in store for them.
