Pinday {Newspaper Nails...Fail}

I was really excited for this week's Pinday project - until I actually tried it {can you say epic fail?}.  One of the first pins I saw on Pinterest was this one:

I immediately knew I was in love {and addicted} to this site/concept called "Pinterest."  I also knew that I wanted to make my finger nails look like a newspaper ASAP. :)  And this past weekend I finally attempted to do so.  ATTEMPTED being the key word in that sentence.  I failed.  I couldn't find a light nail polish I liked {I live in a town with a Walgreens and Wal-Mart - not a whole lot of options}.  So I ended up using a medium gray polish that was a yucky color on my nails and too dark to show the newspaper print.  I also used rubbing alcohol instead of actual alcohol {I don't drink}, which was supposed to work according to this video tutorial I found on Pinterest.

Oh, well!  At least I tried.  And I will probably try again sometime!  Have any of you all tried this?  If so, what were your results?  Any tips?  :)

Because of that failure, I thought I would share some of my other favorite nail polish finds from Pinterest:

I love the fall Essie colors {1} and the polishes from Anthropology {3}!
