Lead Manicurist: Katie Hughes, butter LONDON Global Colour Ambassador

The Scoop: Newspaper chic nails

The Look: butter LONDON Nail foundation, butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in Kerfuffle, butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in Cheeky Chops and butter LONDON P.D Quick Top Coat

How to: Katie began by applying butter LONDON Nail Foundation, followed by two coats of butter LONDON Kerfuffle to nail enhancements. Nails were then left to dry completely before Katie dipped the nails in alcohol and pressed newspaper onto the nail. She laid the paper onto the nail in different directions in order to create a 3D look. Finally, Katie stamped butter LONDON Cheeky Chops onto random spots of the nail for an urban effect. The nail enhancements were placed on all of the models.
