Even after years of practice I can still be pretty useless at painting my nails neatly so when I saw this Sally Hansen Manicure Clean Up Pen I thought it would be perfect for me. It works by just erasing the polish where ever you rub it and comes with two extra tips. So, after I have painted my nails I grabbed it to clean them up and.. Nothing. Id did absolutely nothing because it was completely dried out. The package was sealed and the pen was shut so I have no idea what happened. I even tried dipping the tips into nail polish remover but it didn't work.
I thought I would make this post so that if you were thinking of buying this, to tell you to be aware that it might be dried out like mine was. It's a huge shame because I feel like if this worked, it could have been a very useful tool to have to help painting my nails easier.
What do you use to clean up yours nails? If you use a brush I would love to know which one you use because I can't seem to find one that I like to use for this purpose!

How disappointing! I've never tried one of these corrector pens, I tend to use just a cotton bud or wrap a cotton pad soaked in varnish remover over an orange stick! xx

I've tried cotton buds too but I'm not very good with that method!
DeleteOMG what a shame as this is such a great idea!

Right? Me too :(
DeleteSounds like such a great idea for a product- but I've never had much luck with Sally Hansen products. What a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that works for me is the painter's tape method- taping up the edges of my nails with scotch tape and then peeling them off afterwards for a crisp finish! But let's face it, that takes time and unless it's a special occasion, I'm just going to scratch/wash off the mistakes once it dries because I'm lazy. :P

I absolutely love her Xtreme Wear polishes which has always left the brand in a good light for me but this is disappointing.
Deletei really love Sally Hansen stuff, I use a pen i bought in the poundshop and it really does the trick :) xox

Don't think I have ever seen any in the pound shop, I'll have to keep an eye out. Thanks!
DeleteI started off thinking I'd finally found something that would help me, as I'm useless at painting my nails too! Thanks for the heads up!

No problem!
DeleteWhen I first started reading I was thinking 'YES I need this!' but I was so disappointed that it was dried up when you tried to use it! How annoying! Think i'll have to stick to nail polish remover and Q-tips when I go wrong! Hopefully someone will make one of these pens that really works, and it will be a godsend! :)

Hopefully. Seems like it would be an easy tool to use if it worked properly!
DeleteThanks for the post...I use cotton buds at the moment but always end up rubbing off a bit of the nail polish, so this would have been a life saver if it worked.
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
