I wanted to try it. Of course with a base coat and top coal and all, but I heard it lasts a long time. Opinions?

I heard it works well for nail art, instead of using a nail art pen or acrylic paint. I've always wanted to try it but haven't, if you try it hope it works! :)

If you top coat it, it will streak. Sharpie isn't meant for nails. It can make some cool, streaky nail art designs (see thebeautydepartment.com) but it will move around when you apply a topcoat.

When I was younger I always used sharpie as black nail polish and whenever I put a top coat on it it would streak like Hannah said so yea.

I plan on doing some cool streaky, bleedy nail art with them. But if you use it, can't use a top coat.

I've tried it once. I used it to do chevron print nails, didnt work out well as it wore off in like two days.
