Pen for nails

[trinni]

Have any of you tried the white pen you can get for doing nails? and if you do how do you find it?

[Michaela]

I find it a lot easier than a brush ..I dont have a very steady hand lol xx

[andypandy]

i bought a white paint pen from the stationary shop in town which i find better than the gel pen

[tracyann]

I use the white gel pen!!! I don,t have a very staedy hand either luv Tracy xxx

I have tried it and I liked it but I have now gone back to a brush. and a toothpick this works great!!

[trinni]

I wondered if it looked a bit too "white"

[tracyann]

I dont think it looks too white.It gives a very fine line of white which is what newborn nails are naturally!! But i suppose each artist has a preference!! Luv Tracy xx

I found this pen on ebay but it just looks like a normal gel pen that you can get in any stationary shop. Is that the type you mean?

I put the white tips on first then add colour over the top xx

i liked the pen found it easy i liked the watercolour pencil in light brown from the art shop smashing job x

I use a toothpick but find it a bit fiddly. I didn't know you could use pen! How do you get round it smudging off when you gloss over? I've tried using a watercolour pencil but find it doesn't show up. Some people use the Sally Hansen French Manicure set (with the line guides) to get a really neat line - anyone tried this?
