Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter A - Alphabet

Hello ladies! ^_^

I haven't posted in almost two weeks (shame on me) but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, even though I did do my nails and even took pictures! :)) I guess I was just lazy... 

Aaaanyway, today I am happy to announce you that the girls from the previous collaboration have agreed upon participating in a new collab, inspired by a picture posted by Miss Happy, called "Alphabet nail art challenge" which will last for 26 weeks (26 letters in the alphabet - get it, get it? :D ). The rule is simple - each week we post a manicure inspired by a word or technique that starts with the letter corresponding to the week. This week's letter is... *dum dum dum*  A (of course it's A, dooh... ) and I chose to show you the whole alphabet on my nails! :D

Newspaper Fairytail

I'm a huge fan of the newspaper manicure. It's such a simple technique and it looks so good! ^_^
Here is a tutorial by Cutepolish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kcdt4_5Ncc

For my nails I used an older newspaper and because the paper was very dry and the print was old, the letters didn't come out as in the tutorial. Some of them didn't stick to the nails at all so I decided to make the manicure a bit more "Fairytail-ish" by adding some stars and glitter where the letters weren't showing.
I think it turned out really nice for an improvisation. :)

Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures...
