1. Base - apply one coat of Nails.INC base coat. 
2. Polish - followed by two coats of polish (if you want a colourful nail base), or p ssibly a sheer nail treatment.
3. Prime - press down the nib of the pen and continuously hold down to activate the polish.
4. Doodle - draw your chosen design using the pens.
5. Wipe - if y ou make a m istake, easily wipe away with nail polish remover. 
6. Finish - once dry, seal in the colour with your favourite Nails.INC top coat. 

If you use all of these tips and tricks, your mani masterpiece should last 4-6 days. 
 
Shake the pen well and press the nib of the pen down on a piece of paper to activate the nail ink. This may take a few tries but will eventually run through. We estimate 20-30 seconds.
 
When drawing your doodles, your nail base needs to be fully prepped. If painting a shade underneath, ensure its fully dry before doodling on top.
 
You shouldn’t need to apply too much pressure to the nail when drawing your design, so make sure the ink is running through well.
 
Like our normal nail polish formulas, the nail ink dries pretty quickly, so you may need to work a little quicker on your nail art designs- especially if you’re shading.
 
To ensure your finished nail art masterpiece lasts everyday wear, apply our Better On Top Top Coat to lock in your look. Think of your Top Coat as a sealant, it needs to be evenly applied, even under the tip of the nail.
 
Please note as our Mani Markers are water based, your nail designs will wash off if you do not apply a Top Coat.
