Thanks Kinkyboots

Yes, I got it from cutepolish video. This I'd the first time I've tried one of her designs, thanks to the sharpie :)

I recommend ultra fine. I used a brush type art pen that I really like.

I've always love her designs and subscribe to her YouTube channel. I could never use the polish brush to design and have limited artistic skills. So this design called to me because I can use a sharpie!

Brilliant, well I don't see why nail polish would be preferable in some ways because the pens seem like you can get much more control! I suppose its worth testing out what suits you.

Lets get doodling ladies!
 
Is there you tube videos for using the Sharpie on the nail? Mine looked dull?

Even with a top coat? I haven't actually tested it yet but I guess the top coat is key for shine?
 
Just received my Sharpies and having stopped laughing yet ... It's a limited edition pack with some extra different colours and one of them is called 'Valley girl violet' how ironic lol

I spends hrs practising last night xx
 
Today i bought myself permanent markers (brand = Staedtler, Lumocolor permanent), they came in a set of Yellow, orange, red, green, blue, purple, brown and black. I bought two sets ;-) 0,4mm and 1mm.
On top i needed White, Silver and Gold.... from POSCA metalic 0,7mm
I fancy the POSCA markers, they dry fast and don't smudge when applying Brisa topcoat, Shellac topcoat or nailpolish.
 
I purchased a black fine sharpie had really quick play today... Need to spend bit more time being more precise but I love the ease of a sharpie!! Going to order more colours now & in ultra fine I think for more detailing!

I stopped by an art store. They had great ultra fine art pens. Only 2 to 3 dollars. They had a white.
