Cause of the sales pitch?! Lol
Good point I suppose!
Re: Barry M nail art pens
Have spoken to someone who tested them, and they said they are like a felt tip pen. I imagine sharpies are alot cheaper.
Re: Barry M nail art pens
I like the look of the pens, but have never tried sharpies. I'll give the sharpies a go this week.
Re: Barry M nail art pens
I can confirm the black sharpies do work, I did a thumb nail test the other day and it was fine, my sharpie was a but butchered though as the hubby had used it for marking fences with grr. I'm after getting the silver, good and bronze trio but struggling to find it instore

Re: Barry M nail art pens
Does anyone know how much Sharpies normally cost each? I looked online, but I could only really see packs and I just want one to try. I might have to visit WHSmith tomorrow.......

Re: Barry M nail art pens
I use Sharpies, they work well but they do tend to smudge when you top coat, so you really need to leave it dry for a while. My sister uses some Sharpie equivalents from Poundland or somewhere, and I don't think she has any problems with those.
Re: Barry M nail art pens
Sharpies work just fine! My nails are a bit long for most of the stamping plates, so if I stamp in black, I freehand in the missing bits with a black Sharpie Let it dry properly before you put on top coat!
My local post office sells them for about £1 each; I've also got a multi-pack from Tesco that worked out a bit less than that.

Re: Barry M nail art pens
I'd never thought of using Sharpies!! Such a good tip.
You can buy mini sharpies too and these tend to be cheaper. Might be worth looking out for these if you want a variety of colours but not the cost of the big ones.

There's no way I could do it on my righ hand but I could do it on a pedi

Re: Barry M nail art pens
That looks lovely, have you too coated yet? I'm concerned about potential smudge.

Thankyou
Princess.. I have top coated the thumb after 5 minutes and just did a gentle sweep over, I made sure I had a big bead of top coat so that it would spread with minimal brush strokes
Really, really want to try the metallic trio now!

Re: Barry M nail art pens
Yay for Sharpies! I was pretty much sure that I was going to get a Barry M Pen but there's not point if you can get the same thing for much less, definitely going to be looking around for them!
Thanks for the tip, and love the holographic thumb!

Re: Barry M nail art pens
I picked up the pink and white yesterday, they'd sold out of the black annoyingly. Haven't tried them out yet though. I might take a little look at the metallic Sharpies...
Re: Barry M nail art pens
I assumed sharpies would smudge really badly as they have done when I tried using them on nailwheels. If I left them uncoated I could still smudge off with my finger ages after, if I top coated they sort of spread and smudged.
Not that I'm likely to try and of these things myself as I'm so cackhanded that - unless "it like a 5 year old drew it" becomes fashionable - there's not much point;)
(actually that's probably doing a a disservice to many 5 year olds)
