Newsies, in case you haven't heard of it, is a Disney movie from the early 90's that has more recently been transformed for the stage as a Broadway musical! Disney and a musical? I was bound to love it. :3 It's about a group of Newsies in 1899 who strike against a money-hungry newspaper tycoon. It stars Christian Bale (who sings and dances in this movie) along side Ann-Margaret, Robert Duvall and Bill Pullman. It's based on a true story, has really cute songs and dance numbers, and is crammed full with really cute boys. Do I need to state again why I love this movie?
The musical translation was... okay. Not nearly as good as the movie but I guess I can't really say anything considering I have yet to actually see it on stage. But I hope to see it one day.
The design is simple enough. Almost too simple. This took me (no lie) an hour to do. I painted my nails with a base of Sand Tropez by Essie and let it dry completely. I then grabbed a newspaper and cut some text into some 1 inch by 1 inch squares. Taking a small cup of rubbing alcohol (or vodka), dip your finger into the liquid and hold it there for a few second. When you take it out, immediately press your newspaper, text side towards your nail, and press firmly for a few seconds. When you take the paper away, the ink from the newspaper has transferred onto your nail! Easy as that. ^_^ I then wrote "Seize The Day", quoting one of the songs in the musical, with red, acrylic paint. A layer of topcoat and FINI! All done.
I really hope you like this design. ^_^ Have a great day!
