Born Pretty Store Review - Black Nail Art Pen

Hi everyone!

For my first post of 2015 I have a Born Pretty Store review for you all.

I got a black nail art pen to review - now, what did I think of it? ;)

I made a design with Sinful Colors Mauve and with Maybelline's Tropink. I then used the nail art pen to draw some tribal designs and some doodles.

I'm not sure what the fluid inside the pen atually is, but it's not nail polish. On the BPS website, they say it has a water-based formula and is Toluene, DBP, and Formaldehyde free.

Drawing with the nail art pen went easy: you first have to pump up the fluid that is in the pen, by shaking it. Then you have to press in the tip of the pen a few times. And after that, you can just draw with it! You don't need to squeeze the pen while drawing with it, which is so so handy. 

What I also loved, is that when you make a mistake, you can wipe it off with a wet paper towel or something, very handy! You do have to wipe it off immediately after you made the mistake and can't wait a few minutes because otherwise you will still see a black little smudge where you wiped it off.

Please excuse the smudge on my middle finger: my hair decided to declare war against me by falling into my still wet polish.

You do have to be careful for one thing: make sure the polish you used as a base is completely dry before you start drawing stuff with the pen! Otherwise, it will drag your polish and create a mess.
Also, when you top coat it, make sure the fluid of the pen is completely dry: I waited for about 30 minutes to be safe, because otherwise your top coat will drag the fluid away.

 Here you can see the tip of the pen: it's a small tip, and you can create quite fine lines with it. The fluid inside that white plastic thingy on the tip doesn't dry out btw.

What I wouldn't suggest doing with the pen, is trying to draw long straight lines accross your nail: a striping brush is still best suited for that purpose. But when you want to draw some shapes or doodles, the pen is perfect!

I had a lot of fun whilst drawing with it, because it's a bit like drawing on your nails with a permanent marker or something, like you did when you were a kid :D

The big plus for me was that I didn't have to do and dip my brush into more polish or acrylic paint, but I could just go on painting all the time. I did all the nails on my left hand in 15 minutes!

Soooo, all in all:

Price?: This nail art pen costs $5.99. The nail art pen exists in 16 colours and contains 7ml fluid.

Where can you get it?: You can find the nail art pen here on Born Pretty Store.

Discount?: Yes! I have a discount code for you! Enter XDX31 and you will get 10% off on all your orders!

The final verdict: I was quite happy with this item. It has several really good features: you don't have to squeeze it while using it, it has quite a fine tip, doesn't smell odd, and you can wipe it off if you made a mistake. I wouldn't use the pen to draw straight lines, but it's great fun for a tribal design or some doodles on your nails!

What do you think of this nail art pen? Have you used a nail art pen like this already?

Thanks for reading!:)
