Claws with Class: Easiest Nail Art

Sharpies!!

Sometimes plain nails get boring. If you’re like me and you just can’t do designs with actual nail polish or those nail art brushes… what can you think of that come in a whole lot of colours, are permanent and people use to doodle? SHARPIES.

I know right? I never thought of that either until I saw it somewhere and I was like ohhhh yeah! You can doodle on your nails with Sharpies! You can even paint your nails with sharpies if you wanted.

How will it stay on?

First you would clean up your nails , wash your hands with warm water and push back those cuticles.

Use base coat to paint your nails before you paint them with a Sharpie. This is a key step because it’s not a good idea to put permanent marker right on your naked nail. You want to protect it with base coat.

Then once it’s dry, get creative with your sharpies! You don’t have to wait a long time for those to dry! How awesome is that!?

Once you like the look, slowly go over it with a top coat so it doesn't wash off and voila!!

OR you could just use the Sharpies for little designs after you've painted your nails with a colour of nail polish. They're super cool because if you make a mistake, you could just simply use some rubbing alcohol on that spot to remove the mistake. Pretty awesome for someone like me who can never decide if they like their design. I can just wipe it off without having to restart the whole nail! Rubbing alcohol doesn’t remove my base nail polish, I love it!!

Also, you could even go crazy with those thin sharpies, or the metallic ones. So cool!

Here’s some images I found on google of designs you could try:
