Definitely not good for French nails--it's not opaque enough.

I purchased the pen in white a few weeks ago and would not recommend it. I found that the color was too light and I do not think it would show up well on a light pink or clear polish base. Maybe if you wanted to do a french manicure on a black base it may work better.

THis didn't work for me for a french nail at all. The tip is too small and hard to make a good tip.

this product is hard to even use for making a single dot. imagine having to use it for an entire finger tip. i would suggest buying nail strips to guide where to paint, get it professionally done or use tape to outline where to paint

this pen would be perfect for that if it would work properly but it doesn't. i would recommend just using the opi nail polish and a thin brush or dotter

Question

How does this work?

I purchased this and got it in the mail today. It won't work. Not a drop. I shook it for like 6 minutes and pressed down for five.

I had some trouble with one of mine too.. instead of pressing down for a long amount of time, shake and just dot a spare piece of paper or something a few dozen times. Eventually it should come out.

Yup, same thing happens to me. You must press it more before color comes out which will be ruining your base color :( be careful and good luck!

Hi dear...you are experiencing just what I did. The product is pretty useless. If you try to press the tip of the pen too hard, your nailpolish will end up coming off.

Question

what is the tip actually made out of?

I have some nail art pens (different brand) that have tips constructed out of hard plastic and when you press down the nail polish gushes out and ruins any notion of a design that you had. it is terribly messy (though i may be alone in this thought as most people i know love them). Hopefully your pens are not "similar to felt-tip" but actually felt tip! please let me know!

The tip seems to be plastic. I did not have a problem with it gushing out, but after after the first use, I haven't been able to get it to flow again.

Its not what you are looking for if the one I got is indicative. It doesn't work very well at all...

answer 3

The nail pen has a tip of hard plastic, but if you make the polish start flowing on a different surface, like a piece of paper or something, it flows pretty smoothly without having to press down when you're drawing on your nail.

these pens also have very hard plastic tips. they are capable of scratching the bottom coat on you nails. the nail polish also comes out from the side but it takes forever to get it to come out. it is very hard to work with. i would suggest using toothpicks to nail polish dotters because they are much easier to work with.

This is a little messy until you get the hang of it. I had to blot mine a couple times before I got the right amount of paint on the tip. It seems to be made of plastic.

It looks like regular marker pen. But unfortunately it has no staying power on toes, after coating with hardener it disappeared when I walked in regular shoes on.

How to remove the nail art pen from the nails?

My daughter applyed the nail art pen without apply the base first. I tried to remove using acetone and alcohol and I did't get. How can I remove it?

answer 1

Use a nail polish remover that is NOT acetone free. If even this does not work, i recommend either
a) soaking your finger in nail polish remover for 1 minute, then rubbing it dry
b) visiting a nail salon
or
c) filing it off (rubbing it off with a nail file)

Hope this helps :)
