Sharpie Marker Pens Permanent Fine Point Pack of 12 - Markers - Ryman
These are the ones, I think they are water based as it doesn't say, and they are different from the ones on the other link. I also bought a metallic silver one and that smells slightly different.

Do people use the coloured ones much? I have black and was thinking about gold and silver but not sure about colours?

I enjoy the paint pens so much. All of the metallics are gorgeous. Just b sure to not leave the tops open even for a second and buy water based not oil based colors. ::hug::

Ahha! Water based? There has been some conflicting advice on here about water v oil based, so thank you for clarifying! I noticed a CND demo on sharpie design, where the manicure was competed and the design put over cured, wiped top coat, but if you did this, wouldn't you need to use oil based? Would water based wash off? X

I do all my art this way. Just make sure it's completely dry then top coat again...voilà

Thanks Planky. The thing is, the example on the CND blog (further up this thread) doesn't mention doing another top coat. I usually do a second top coat over my nail art, but this example confused me? :-/

I haven't looked at it but any artwork we do whether it be stamping, acrylic paint or pens, it will always need sealing in with a top coat. Perhaps they just assume techs will know to do that so didn't show it. Will take a look

Yes maybe. Just that the explanation was very clear, and yet this final stage was missed out. Let me know what you think when you see it! Have you had much call for sharpie art? X

Having watched the video the nails were pre-designed prior to the show then applied to the models nails before they went on stage. So is probably why they weren't top coated again because it was just for the show.
But for clients we want to set the design in so that it has longevity, so in order for it to stay on the nail it needs to be sealed in with a top coat and water based products are mostly non toxic which is what we want to be using.
I've used sharpies a few times but I mainly use acrylic paint and a very fine detail brush. Sharpies are good for quick and very detailed designs you might be adding that perhaps can't be achieved using paints or polish. I had a client who wanted cats on her nails and the sharpie was perfect for the tiny face detail that I just couldn't do with a brush because it was too small. I wouldn't do a design and use a sharpie for a vast area as this can cause problems with the Shellac bubbling/peeling.
Hope that helps

Hi
I am a complete newbie but have been following this thread and went out today to buy myself some Sharpies. I bought a pack today of the fine tip ones from Rymans but after trying them on my EzFlow TruGel I found they smudged when I put the top coat on...any advice? Also I found that the nibs weren't fine enough to do detailed work as I had hoped. I'm now totally confused and not sure whether I should give up on this idea or get some ultra fine ones or what?! Help please!!
Also I would like to get a white pen can someone recommend the best one to get?

Mine smudged to. You have to wait quite a while for the marker to dry and then top coat. Float your top coat so it doesn't drag.
Can't remember what mine are called don't think they are ultra fine but I can manage small detail with mine takes a bit of practice! X

I had trouble finding a white sharpie so I bought a white art pen at an art supply store.
