- Start at the edge of the nail and work backwards with your sharpie until you find the perfect width.
- To make perfect dots use the tip of the sharpie and hold your sharpie perpendicular to your nails.
- Start off my doing a of vertical line of dots down the middle of your nails. Then stagger the dots when you create the vertical line on your the left or right side.
- Use the polka dot method to create a grid on your nails. This will give you a guideline on where to make your lines.

May 29, 2021Can you use the sharpie method when using gel polish? If so, would you put the sharpie directly on the nail or between a bottom & top coat?

May 29, 2021I would put it before the top coat and make sure there is a bottom coat under the sharpie so you’re using it directly on your nails.

October 24, 2014What about the smearing problem?? I read somewhere to use hairspray in between the sharpie and top coat but it still blurred my lovely design awfully!
