Keep your sharpie mani from smearing using glue and water

Do u love nail art? If yes, then you must have heard about sharpie manis.....

Even if you are not a nail art lover, you will still love the sharpie manis.

I have tried nail art with acrylic colors and nail art brushes, I have tried stamping nail art and looks like I am now good at sharpie manis too. When I came across sharpie manis on internet I fell in love with the concept instantly.

Here are few sharpie manicures that I love:

I applied the base coat, let it dry and then used my sharpies to create amazing designs. After some time when I applied the top coat. My lovely designs smeared ruthlessly L

I was very disappointed and tried it several times but I always ended up with smeared nails.

When I searched on internet "How to fix sharpie manicures" many of them suggested to use a hair spray.

Woah I loved this quick fix. Unfortunately I dint have hair spray. Little more research and I found out that hair spray creates a thin film of polymers that separates your sharpie art and top coat.

As I dint have a hair spray I wanted a substitute for this.

Glue also contains polymers. As glue is usually sticky I decide to add a tiny amount of glue to water and use it instead of hair spray.

I filled an empty pen sanitizer with this mixture and sprayed it lightly on my nails with sharpie designs. After my nails were completely dry I applied a top coat.

My nail art dint smear at all. This blog post is dedicated to all those people who were disappointed with their first sharpie mani.
