Permanent Marker Nail Art
I was so looking forward to trying this mani, but now it's finished I don't like it! Happy Saturday everyone it's been a busy morning here but I eventually got time to do my nails. After seeing several pictures on Facebook and Google of sharpie pen granite look nails, I wanted to have a go myself as they look so easy to do. The only difference is I haven't any Sharpie Pens, only cheaper ones from my local pound shop.
So I applied a white gel base and tried with blue, purple and black permanent markers.
For starters I didn't find it easy as it looks, but was happy with the patterns that were appearing on my nails. Secondly when I was really happy with the final look, my pens didn't dry completely. I carried on and applied a gel topcoat and when I was wiping the tacky residue off, some of the pen came off too :( it looks like the topcoat shrunk the design.
I will try again, but think I need to invest in some Sharpie's!! Will this stay on my nails... probably not, I might even add a holo topcoat lol. But why when I do my nails for me just lately, is it a fail? Or am I being too self critical?
Have a great weekend and stay safe and much love....
