DIY
A few days ago I was in one of those fun paper
stores when I saw the new gold and silver Sharpies.
Of course I bought them. Thought I would give them
a try on my nails and see if they would stay put
when a top coat was added. BOOM. My new favorite
nail art tool was discovered. It came out even
better than I had imagined. It’s really hard to get a
super-reflective gold paint for accenting your nails–
particularly one that’s easy to use. This is one of the
easiest applications ever because everyone knows
how to use a pen. I don’t really love the nail art
pens because I find that the polish separates and it
can come out “chunky” after a couple uses. So glad
I stumbled upon these gems! Here are a couple of
things you should know:

Goes on top of a dry coat of nail polish or on
top of gel nails smoothly.
If you mess up, you can wipe it off gently with
rubbing alcohol without smudging your polish–
this literally makes your nail kinda like a dry
erase board!
Let the metallic paint dry and then add your
top coat. I painted my top coats on pretty
quickly and had zero problems with smudging
or discoloration.
The pens come in gold and silver.
Sharpie also makes “paint pens” and these are
NOT those, so make sure you get the one
above in the photo. The other ones have a
rougher pen tip and don’t work the same.

This is going to come in very handy for remaining
holiday/new year nails! By the way, this is NOT a
sponsored post in case you were wondering. It’s just
a really exciting discovery and wanted to share!! xo
