    It's the one I have and I find it great. Only thing is, the pinky colour is very metallic or something, not the most natural looking colour. There may be other colours available though :)

    Got one in penneys for €1 the other day and it'd do if you were stuck too! Only lasts about a day though.

    Orly and if you are in Galway the chemist We Care in Salthill, and Liosban stocks them, they are the best ever!!!

    I think the Bourjois one is good, the brush on the white polish is curved and quite flat at the tip which helps a lot when applying!

    I was just gonna recommend the Sally Hansen one! (: I also like Rimmel nail varnishes. Not sure if they do a set, but you can buy white for the tips, the pale pink and a clear separately.

    I tried the YSL pen one and it is so easy to use and a really nice colour too, bit on the pricey side though...

    Sally Hansen is basically two bottles of rubbish.
    I ended up throwing mine out, it was an absolute joke. The way it applied, would be something I would expect from tat from pennys or the pound shop.

    It looked fake and amateur and was absolutely vile. I have nothing positive to say about sally hansen.

    I cant recommend any good ones though, because i started getting Shellac done on my nails, and i would never ever go back to having anything else on them.

    Maybe look into having that done? Its 30 euro but lasts for absolutely ages and you can get french mani done.

    I got one of the Aldi ones, lasts for over a week and looks very good when done right. When I'm in a hurry I'd just use the pinky colour, apply two coats and use a wee bit of the pencil under the nails & I always get asked have I had a manicure professionally done and it will last me 2-3 days without having to fix it with the pencil again!

    L'Oreal one is pretty good, the white has a special brush that makes application a bit easier.

    Love the idea of the pen, but the Sally Hansen one I have is pretty hard to master and if I have to use tip guides I might as well use polish.
