Tape the paper to your nail, but make sure there are no tape on the parts you want on your nail. My tape is hard to see, but it's barely on top of the paper, going around my finger.

You just polish your nails with any color, then you put newspaper on top of the nail polish, and dab the newspaper with rubbing alcohol. Remove newspaper and done.

Did you remember to put the print downwards? If it still does not work then I don't know. Maybe your paper won't bleed ink
