Jonas Brothers Nails

So, a lot of fans have been excited about this and want to wear this design for their shows this summer. I've been asked a lot of questions about how to do this design, so here's all the details!

You are going to need:
WHITE NAIL POLISH
CLEAR TOP COAT
COTTON BALLS
RUBBING ALCOHOL
A SMALL BOWL
PRINTED OUT JB LOGOS

1. First, go on your computer and flip the Jonas logo backwards so that it shows up normal on your nail. I just copy and pasted the logos onto a Microsoft word document and eyeballed the sizes and made the ones for my thumbs a little bigger. If you do your big toes, make it a little bigger than your thumbs.

2. Print out your sheet of Jonas logos and see what fits your fingers. If you have to resize them, go back and print them again. Once you find a size that works for you, I suggest saving it on your computer in case you want to do it again.

3. Paint your nails white. Use two coats until it is solid. Wait for your nails to COMPLETELY DRY before doing anything else.

4. Fill a small bowl with rubbing alcohol and cut out the Jonas logos you are going to use.

5. Once your nails are completely dry, dip one finger into the alcohol and hold it for around 30 seconds. It probably depends on what nail polish you have and how strong your alcohol is, so you kind of have to play with this step and figure out what works. It may take a few tries.

6. Pull your finger out of the alcohol and put the paper with the logo with the ink facing down onto your nail and press. Since computer paper is thicker than newspaper, use a cotton ball with alcohol on it to dab more alcohol on top so that it soaks through the paper completely. (Kinda like you do with a temporary tattoo)

7. Now here's the tricky part, knowing how long to press the paper on. Make sure that you evenly press all sides of the logo onto your nail so that the darkness is even. Finding out what works and how long to hold it is up to you. Its hit or miss. You're going to have to try a few times. I did.

8. Once you have the logo on your nail, carefully finish with a top coat. I think top coats also depend because the first time I did it, the top coat smeared the ink. If that happens, try again with another top coat. These last few steps have to be figured out based on personal preference.

That's the most details I have to give. This design is tricky because it's hit or miss. You have to try a few times to find out what works for you. So don't give up! You'll find a method. It took me 4 or 5 times to get it right!
 
GOOD LUCK JONAS FANS! <3
