I think this would have been better if the packaging was different. The design of this pen made the polish tricky to apply. The polish would seem to get stuck , and then all at once would come out in ...Read more

Terrible. The "polish" in the pen is not completely opaque and when you try to apply a second coat it wipes off some of the first coat even after it's fully dried. I have better luck freehand with ...Read more

I like the pen. It does take a little practice, but once you get it, you get the french tip look quite quickly. I was never sucessful with other kits because I couldn't work with the guides. So,...Read more

I think the reason for the low reviews on this product is the application's a bit tricky and takes some practice. I think it's easier with long nails, too. I didn't use the base color in the kit as ...Read more

BIG FAT NO. ok, so it sounds good in theory - a pen with nail polish for french white tips, right? Wrong! When this dries (which is is 10 seconds after the application), the white tips started cracki...Read more

I will absolutely not buy this again! It is almost impossible to draw an even line with this, it gives only a chalky appereance.

This did not work terribly well for me. The chisel point is good for longer nails or wider nail beds, but for my small nailbeds & shortish nails it proves tricky to apply. So it's not so easy. For a l...Read more

I don't do acrylic french nails at the manicurist anymore; I just do it myself and with a lot of practice, I have gotten pretty good at it. When I saw this, I had imagined the white tip pen in this k...Read more

White pen is runny like everyone else said. Also you can shake it all you want but it still comes out runny at first. The bristles are fly-aways so you don't get a clean line . Would have been bette...Read more

I bought this for the white tipped pen initially. The color in the kit is horrible and looks cheap. The polish will last forever and you can easily run out of the white pen. Sephora sells the pen a...Read more
