1. White nail polish

4. Cotton bud

Step one: Paint your nails with a white polish. Do two coats to make it opaque. You can use any other light colour too but I think white is the best because it makes the print visible.

Step two: Take a cup of water and some newspapers .Dip a piece of newspaper in the water. Wait for 5 seconds and press it hard on your nail (You may have to press hard so the print can come off properly on your nails)

If your print does not stick properly to the nail, clean your nail with cotton bud dipped in water and try again.

3.Nail polish remover
4.Cotton bud
5.Top coat (essential)

Step 1: Apply a single coat of your purple nail polish on all nails and allow it to dry.

Repeat for all nails.

Done!It's so simple,right?

Important:
1. It's very important to apply a top coat or else the salt will melt when you put your hand in water! A good quality top coat is encouraged.

2. Do not attempt this nail art if you have cuts on your fingers (It will burn a lot!!I repeat A LOT!!)
3.If you are not sure if you have cuts or not(Like in my case) apply Vaseline around your nails for protection.
4.If you have a habit of eating your cuticles you are likely to have cuts.
5.Try to sprinkle the salt evenly.
