    I have several colours of these and love them! I try to buy them when they are sale as they are a little pricey for me. They took a little getting used to buy I love them and get so many compliments when I use them. Working my way towards some more difficult designs. I find you must make sure you let you base coat dry thoroughly before using the pens. Also a top coat is a must with these or I find the nail art pen polish will wash off or fade without one.

    Grabbed a couple of these pens up at my local dollarama and I am happy with the results. They are perfect for little details that you can do as easily with a brush such as letters, numbers, drawing very detailed designs etc. I find them to work better after they have been sitting for a while at first they can be a bit runny but after a few uses they thicken up and work excellent. Highly recommend to anyone who loves nail art

    Have tried a few of these pens and you have to be careful that you put a top coat on. Otherwise the design will wash off with water!!! (I learned the hard way) Great product and super handy!

    Bought this thinking I could do cool designs on my nails but it just comes out very watery no matter the amount of shaking. It would not come out of the pen often times. Ended up with a huge mess!

    This is the worst product of sally hansen. :( it didn't deliver the result that I am expecting.) Totally disappointed. It didn't stay long and gets erased easily. I will not buy this pens unless sally hansen will improve the quality.

    I purchased a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black in an effort to make designs on my nails in an easier fashion than using toothpicks, but found it to be almost as difficult, and less effective due to the fact that the pen smears when you attempt to apply a top coat. It is suggested to use a top coat after the pen dries, so I left the pen to dry for a good half hour before attempting to apply the top coat, and touched my finger tip to it to see if it would come off. It appeared dry, and did not rub off on my finger, but as soon as I applied the top coat, the pen began to run across my nail.
    I have yet to try another brand of nail pen, as they are quite pricey, so I don't have any recommendations as to an alternative brand to try, but I really would advise against using the Sally Hansen pen. The application was simple, and the control over the pen tip was great... but the staying power... not so much, which kind of throws a wrench in the gears if you want a nice design.

    I'm a pretty big Sally Hansen fan, I find their products do almost exactly what they claim, every time. But in the rush to get nail art pens on the market, Sally missed the mark. The polish loaded inside this pen is watered down, you need to go over your designs again and again to get any real thickness or consistency, and if you don't seal it, it rubs off rather easily. I've purchased a few of these, thinking that maybe I just got a bad pen or something, but no, you're much better off just buying a nail art set, or heck, using a pair of chopsticks and dipping them in nail polish than using this.

    Did buy this for when I was doing fake nails. IT was easy to use and was able to do design with it. It was great for you to take with you for those times you get a chip in your nail polish while shopping.

    I bought two of these pens about a month ago. I used each one for the first time and the polish just came gushing out at first then I had to keep pushing it to get more out. It took at least 15 times before it came gushing out again. Not once did it flow nicely. then even with allowing lots of drying time it came off when I added a clear top coat. Not worth the money I paid.

    These are cute and fun little pens that make nail art fairly easy. As other reviewers have said, it's more about the skill of the user than the pen itself, but it definitely makes doing cool designs easier than say a toothpick. They're pretty affordable and come in a variety of colours, and the pen itself is easy to use. Just shake it a few times and go at it. I wouldn't give them rave reviews because sometimes the polish comes out too fast and makes a mess, and sometimes it doesn't come out at all so you end up gauging away at the polish you have underneath because the tip is fairly stiff. That being said if you get the hang of using them you can actually make quite a few designs (i've done simple polka dots and strips, to tiny hearts and flowers, and of course letters!). Just make sure to put a clear coat overtop once they've dried, or else they will smudge!
