An Easy Way to Make Complicated Designs on Your Nails

For the longest time I've seen videos and tutorials with girls using these tiny, thin brushes and using the ends of toothpicks to make these tiny designs that are perfect and intricate. I tried the toothpick method, and personally, it didn't work for me. I have also searched for thin, small brushes and sometimes I can't spend so much money on supplies.
The one thing that I've tried so far that actually worked for me was a fine tipped sharpie marker. This tip isn't very common as far as I've seen and it really works.
My process for the sharpie nails was pretty simple. What I did first was paint my nails, because I didn't want to have a permanent mark on my nails. Also, let the nail polish dry completely for 5he best drawing surface. Then I started to draw the design on my nails. I will admit it takes some practice, especially with the left hand(I was struggling and went super slow when drawing on my right hand). However, it's so much easier than trying to control a tiny little brush.

This was my first try, but I have drawn and doodled this flower everywhere, and when I say everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE. So I suggest practicing the design first or try something really simple at first. I have only tried the black sharpie and a tip is to make sure you that you make the markings dark enough or else the color starts turning a purpley wierd color.
Overall, this was so much easier than trying to keep a brush steady on a small canvas. The sharpie marker allows much more control than a brush. If you aren't confident with your drawing skills, just try some dots or stripes to start.
Thank you for reading my post and have a wonderful day.
