Questions we get most
How long do nail art markers last?
One to two days on bare nails, three to five over a base coat, and up to a week under a clear top coat. The top coat makes the biggest difference.
Are acrylic markers or water-based better for beginners?
Water-based is kinder to your nails and easier to remove; acrylic is more opaque and more permanent. If you change designs often, start water-based.
How do I keep marker lines clean?
Rest a finger on the nail to steady your hand, roll the pen instead of dragging it, and work on a flat surface. Most wobbly lines come from a moving hand, not the pen.
How do I remove marker nail art?
Soak a cotton pad in acetone, hold it on the nail for 10 seconds, then wipe - do not scrub. Never peel the colour off dry, it takes the top layer of the nail with it.
