Posted by Tandra Barner on Monday, June 3, 2024

If you're feeling adventurous enough to use Sharpie markers to embellish your nails, there are a lot of design options out there, ranging from elegant to daring. According to Origins of Beauty Spa & Salon, a couple of examples of the styles you can create with Sharpie markers include traditional marble and wood grain looks.

To create a black and white marble look, you can start by putting on a few coats of white gel nail polish, then adding some lines on top with a black Sharpie. After that, you can gently apply 99.9% Isopropyl alcohol (commonly known as rubbing alcohol) to the lines you made with a nail design brush for a chic marble effect. If you don't like a simple black and white designs, try using a colorful Sharpie marker instead of classic black. Why not try a playful pink, seductive red, or soothing blue and see how it looks?

To achieve a wood grain look, start by putting on a few layers of gray nail polish. Next, add some vertical lines on top with a black Sharpie marker. Then, gently spread out the lines you created by vertically applying some rubbing alcohol over the nail. Feel free to add some glitter for a touch of glam!
