Step 2

Once the base coat's dried, cut the end and sides of the piece to fit your nail. Regular scissors will do, but if you have nail scissors, they make this step a lot easier.

This is like so 1996 or so, because I remember girls and women would do this with 10 dollar bills and other denominations.

personally i do not like it. I would never do this to my nails and i think anyone seeing me with those nails couldn't take me seriously!

This is probably the tackiest thing I've ever seen.

@ Autumns_Elegy - I appreciate the heads up and believe that Rihanna's probably are real. She's got the money, looks and voice - lucky girl!

AmberHoney, you can usually pick up fake money from toy stores for like $2, or sometimes people print vouchers and stuff that look like cash. So it's easy to do it without destroying actual currency.I was at a jewelery store today and they were giving out "three buck note" flyers.I like the idea of using candy wrappers though.

At first I thought this was really tacky, but the more I look at it, the more it grows on me. I wouldn't wear it because I know I couldn't pull it off, but it looks cool. And FabMissToya, I'm intrigued by the whole using candy wrappers bit. That sounds fabulous!

Since it's illegal to destroy our national currency, it's not to my liking. On the other hand no one follows the rules anymore, let alone the laws so hey it's great if you got money to burn!

The way it's done up here would not last a Saturday night! Go to your Local nail salon and it will last you 2 weeks some time longer depending on how fast your nails grow

Now this is nothing new to me, I am a 26 year old female from The Bronx, NY (The Hood) and we rock our nails in all kinds of way's. The using the Dollar Bill thing, that's not new we did that 7 years ago that's when it was real popular and you know what else we would use... candy wrappers like Skittles, Reses Peanut Butter Cups, Mr. Good Bar and the list go's on................It's nail art!
