I tend to do my manicures myself, yet I always find that my tips aren't as straight across the nail as I'd like them to be. Usually they would be thicker at one end and although unnoticeable to others, I knew it was there and it bugged me. So I went to my local drug store to have a look for something that could help. (Bear in mind, I do use the tip guides aswell! They didn't help!) I think I paid about £8 for this product, I'd never seen anything like it before and after looking for a variation on product/price, found that this was the only thing available. So I bought it and took it home for my week long trial.
The kit includes a top coat, a sort of very pale pink varnish, tip guides and the pen itself. Firstly, the pink, I was very disappointed with this. I put a couple of coats on, left it to dry and you couldn't even tell I had it on. No colour shows up whatsoever. So definately not going to use that again. The top coat is just as you would expect it to be.
The pen, however, the main selling point of this kit, was not as I had hoped for. I found the varnish too runny and watery. Obviously I understand that to come out of the pen it has to be a thinner consistency than most varnishes, but this just sort of spilled out, and really fast as well. Surely if this is supposed to be mistake proof, it would be easier to control? The colour was good though, very white and provided good coverage. It went where I wanted it to most of the time. All I can say is thank god I had a tip guide on!
Out of all this kit, I would only really use the top coat and the nail guides again. I don't think this is value for money at all which is really disappointing. I wouldn't reccommend this.
