Message: First of all Amanda, I can not imagine why on earth you would want to put black marker on ANY of your nails but aside from that, I don't think it would be wise because of the fact that it will discolor the nails beneath the surface of the structure and once that is done you will have a hard row to hoe to remove it when you change your mind! It seems just a bit foolish to me. IMHO those gothic looks are hideous and there is no real shock factor in doing that any longer, so why not just put on a dark polish that you can remove once you have changed you mind?

Message: oh amanda,
i can think of so much to say and really want to, but i'm just not going to waste my breath. your nails will be permanently stained and stink. nails are pourous and the stain will have to "grow" out. not a good look.

Message: No way! The black pigment is way too dense and will sink into your nail permanently till you end up having to grow a new nail. And, when it does fade and sink it, it will probably look bluish and diseased. Not a good look. Stick to black enamels.
Gee, I had suggested using a permanent white marker for doing french manicure toenails. Different technique altogether. When I apply the little white strip over a base coat of polish, it removes easily with polish remover.

Message: Amanda, I don't think the black permanent marker sounds like a good idea either for all of the reasons stated above.
However, if you are looking for a super dark polish but still want to go natural, why not try Honey Bee's All Natural Water-based Polish Vintage Merlot? I have not tried it but in the color swatches it looks like a really deep wine.
Many others on the board can probably comment about Honey Bee polish. I am currently anxiously awaiting my first order from them.

Message: Not too long ago I had gotten permanent marker on a white shirt. For the life of me I couldn't get it out. Not even beaching the shirt. I treated the shirt so much that it weakened the shirt around that spot and the shirt was then history. Since then permanent marker has left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't use it on anything. JMO.

Message: Hol - for future reference. The BEST laundry pretreater ever, one that will eventually get out ink, grass stains, and permanent markers is Fels Naptha Soap. Our grandmothers used this stuff. It's a bar soap in the laundry section and you use it with a toothbrush. Also, for ink or marker stains, use an aerosol hairspray spraying and blotting as much as needed.

Message: I tried the ink thing but this "permanent" ink is a real kicker. I treated the shirt so much in that particular area that the threads were weakened so much that it ripped and the shirt was history. Liked the shirt too. It was your basic white shirt. DRATS! I'll try that soap you mentioned, Lynnie.
