In this video I will show you an awesome back to school mix & match mani using sharpies!
This nail art is really easy and quick to make so everyone can pull it off.
Sam! Behave yourself! What on earth is that on your nails? Don't you know that nail art
is not allowed in this school? I'm so sorry Mrs. Smith, I was just so excited for school,
it's a back to school nail art. Show it to me! Hm... Can you show me how to do it? Sure!
Let's do it now! Of course Mrs. Smith.
Hey loves, I'm back with another nail art tutorial and it's a really special one because
this is just the best nail art life hack ever. Even if you're a beginner you'll easily make
it, I promise. So I'm going to show you a stunning back to school many using sharpies
or any other kind of permanent markers. This one is honestly done in five minutes and it
looks so beautiful and professional, you really have to try it! Okay, go grab your sharpies
and let's get started!
Before we start playing with nail polish and sharpies we have to protect our nails with
a layer of base coat. This will keep the nails healthy and it also helps against chipping,
so our manicure will last longer.
Now we have to paint all of our nails with white polish. White base works best if you
are using bright colored sharpies like I do. However if you'll be using silver or gold
metallic permanent markers, you can totally switch white base with a darker one, because
black nails look fantastic with metallic accents. Our nails are now all white and ready to be
decorated! I am using blue, green and pink permanent markers for my back to school nail
art.
First I am going to draw a colorful stripes design. Starting with pink I am drawing a
thin line along the center of the nail. Here I am adding some more blue and green stripes.
I really like how you get these imperfect lines with markers – kind of look like doodles,
which is even more perfect for a back to school nail art. Here comes the last pink stripe
and we are all done with our first nail.
On my ring finger I am going to draw a bunch of colorful letters. Starting with pink I
put down an I, C and F. Then going in with blue, here comes an H, S and T. An awesome
back to school color combination would also be dark green for the base and then white
permanent marker for the design. It would look like chalk doodles on a chalkboard in the
classroom. Here we go, my letter nail design is all done looking awesome!
On my pinky I am making an easy and cute polka dot design. First I am drawing a line of dots
along my nail and I like to alternate between my three marker colors while doing that. Continue
drawing more dots on both sides until you have your whole nail decorated with bright
dots. This design would totally go great with some birthday mix & match nails because It
looks like confetti in the air! A very easy and lovely design.
On my pointer I decided to draw a a pretty triangle design. You can also switch it with
hearts for example, but triangles are a bit easier to make because they consist of three
straight lines. I like to make some half triangles on the edges of my nails because this way
the design looks more full. This is actually my first time trying the sharpie nail art
and honestly I am so positively surprised with the results. I love how you can make the
designs in seconds and they always turn out so neat and perfect. I can really make designs
that I could never pull off with a nail polish. See how awesome the nails look already?! And
we aren't even finished yet.
Now we are going to write a bunch of numbers all over the thumb. Even if you are not going
to school this year, I think this mani is just so perfect for every day. But of course
you can switch the numbers and letters with some other design, like flowers, a chevron
pattern, horizontal stripes and so on. The possibilities are endless. I am just going
to squeeze a little number one in this corner and I am done! I am obsessed with how quick,
easy and amazing this mix & match nail art is!
But it will look even better once we apply a top coat. Because a top coat brings everything
together and it seems like we used a nail polish. In a way these also remind me of nail
stickers.. Maybe because they just look too good to be real, what do you think?! Anyway,
I love this sharpie mani and I can't wait to try more designs on my nails!
And this is my cool sharpie nail art perfect for the new school year. I hope you'll try
it out and if you do so please send me photos on my twitter, facebook and instagram. Also
let me know in the comments, which videos you'd like to see next on my channel. Thank
you so much for watching, I love you guys and I'll talk to you soon. Bye!
A sharpie nail art is definitely something I will do again in the future. It is so practical
especially when you are in a hurry, but still want your nails to look awesome. Really a
superb nail art life hack!
