When Primark recently released their bargain makeup collection they also brought out lots of nail polishes and nail goodies for all of us girls who love that perfect mani without paying a fortune. So when I saw the Nail Art Pens they went straight into my basket he he, I've had my little set of 3 Primark Nail Art Pens for what seems like ages now, so today I thought it was about time I reviewed them for you all.
The Primark P.S Love Nail Art Pens are just £2.00 for a set of 3, yup that's right, just £2.00!! There are two colour variations to choose from, the set I picked up contained a pink, white and black or you can get a set that contains a gold, silver and black however... in my local Primark some of the packs where mixed and the set that I picked up some had a mint green pen instead of the black pen, weird? I went with the set with the black pen instead of the green as I thought black is a pretty popular/standard colour for nail art.
The packaging of the nail art pens is very simple, they all have squeezy style plastic bottles with each bottle holding 6ml's worth of polish inside. You can use the nail art pens in two ways, you can either screw off the lid entirely which reveals long, striper style bristles or you can pull of the top of the lid to use the small metal nib for precise work, just a heads up, the lid at the top of the nail art pens that you need to pull off to reveal the precise nib is extremely stiff, so just be careful when pulling at it as you can end up squirting nail polish everywhere during your battle ha ha.
As for the formula of the polish inside these little nail art pens... It's great! All the shades are completely opaque, even the white is lovely and bright which is great because with nail art it can be difficult if you need to go over something precise such as writing, stripes or dots so the fact the pens are opaque makes life so much easier. The consistency of the polish isn't too thick or thin, it just perfect and easy to use, however all the pens do have a VERY STRONG nail polish scent which can sometimes be rather overpowering and get down the back of my throat which isn't nice. The quality of the bristles that are used for striping are OK, I've not experienced any shedding although my white striper came with an extra long bristle sticking out from the rest, so I had to trim that back with scissors which wasn't a major.

Overall I'm really impressed with just how much you can do and create with these little pens, and if like me, you are new to nail art then these little bargain trio's are fab to practise with.
