WATER-BASED METALLIC SHARPIE

Most of you will remember our gold sharpie nail post HERE. The other day we stumbled on an even better nail art tool– a water-based, super-fine metallic sharpie in GOLD! Sometimes it’s hard to get those teeeeeny tiny lines like a legit nail artist can, but we test drove this pen and we’re officially in nail art heaven. We’re currently obsessed with fine-line pattern nail art and can’t get enough of these pens for that reason. The trick to using sharpies for nail art is letting them dry all the way and then putting a clear coat on in 1 or 2 quick swipes. We’ve never had any issues with smudging because of the speed at which we apply the top coat. I usually take an ample amount on the brush and swipe fast and I use this one.
