Sharpee as a nail polish is that bad

sh00t why would you want some nails that have color on them and arent shiny?


sharpee on your nails look dull..Sharpee as a nail polish is that bad
Yeah... It'll ruin your nails... not only by staining them, but people tend to forget that there is ALCOHOL in them... like nail polish remover. The alcohol will suck up all the natural oils and moisturizers you produce to keep that healthy sheen to your nails





That's why they always tell you to moisturize after you take off nail polish, and also why many polishes come with moisturizers and such...





IF you are going to go a la sharpie on your nails.... treat it like polish: do a base coat to PROTECT your nails, then a TOP COAT to protect the colour you put on





If you're that desperate to draw on your nails, just splurge and buy nail art pens... y'know, the pens they use in salons for detailing?! my friend got a set of 65 from Korea on eBay for about $15... she's learning how to use them, and she loves them...





I like to use them for detailing my art pieces!Sharpee as a nail polish is that bad
They are considered non-toxic for ';normal uses,'; meaning writing on posters, soccer balls, and such. However, they are not meant for use on skin or fingernails.It might take over an ounce of ink from a Sharpie to cause a lethal reaction, and if a Sharpie is used on the skin it generally won't cause an immediate or obvious health effect. so no it is not good.
no its not good..but i have a trick i use.i put nailpolish on my nails first and then i get colored sharpies and put it ON TOP of the nailpolish...for example, wear hot pink nail polish under and put on dots of black nailpolish and silver nailpolish..and it comes off WITH the nailpolish...so it works
Yes.. it will fade quickly leaving your nails purplish like you have a heart problem with black cuticles. It also contains chemicals that will dry your nails. You can't get it off once you get it on.. and besides it will look absolutely terrible and people will laugh at you.
well when i was in 6th grade id sit in class and color it with a sharpee all day.black one too!but one day my teacher cought me and told me that if i kept doing that it will sink through my fingernails and into my skin and under to my vains and i could die of ink poisening so i think its best you stop =).that was like 2 years ago too! lol..
Bad how?





Does it work as well? Nope. It can look streaky. And it rubs off. And it stains your nails and can stain your cuticle.








But.





If it's in a pinch, and you need to cover a chip in your nail polish...it's fast and easy.






what you have to do is to put 1 or 2 base coats on first, so it won't stain your nails. and after you color it on with sharpie, put on a clear coat. and it'll look like real nail polish.








hope i helped. :)
ha.


one life to live girl. i do it all the time


sure, its not what they put on you if you go to a salon, so its not 'good for your nail beds', but who cares? i love variation and origonality. go for it!
If your asking if it's bad for your health I would say no. It says non-toxic on the pen,





If your asking if it's bad for your image/appearance I would say yes. It looks like crap or something elementary school kids do.
yes don't use them seriously they ruin your nails and they don't last and its hard to get it off your nails the ball sharpie turn kinda greenish its gross:)
No, until you want to be sexy and suck on your fingers and get a mouthful of nastiness.
Oh please!! Splurge and buy some nail polish! Wet 'n' Wild is only $1.99.
It'll probably stain your nails but it will eventually wear away.
Nope! Just make sure to put a clear coat of nail polish on or it will rub off.
Sharpie is NOT a nail polish. It's not bad, it's just extremely tacky.
its not bad it just looks pretty tacky . it doesnt stain your nails perminitly eitherits just a little harder to get offf
Yes the ink can sink through your nails and cause a bad reaction
well obviously it doesn't look as nice but many people do it so i dont see anything wrong,...
yes its bad!!! it will stain your nails and give you ink poisoning!! why don't you just go out and buy some nail polish?!?!

no i dont think thats bad, but it would be if it touches your skin.
