Up until about a couple of months ago I didn't really give much thought to what my nails looked like, or what colour they were. Very rarely would I venture and use the one bottle of nail varnish I owned, only cracking it out for very special occasions. (I don't know why, the color wasn't even that nice)
But now? Now I'm obsessed with nails! I don't go a day without having some sort of nail varnish on my nails, a habit my mother has come to hate since it leaves the house smelling of it for hours after I've used it!
Personally I'm a creature of habit, so I stick with what I know works, which is why when I just tallied them up my bottle, since christmas alone I've brought a whopping 20 bottles of nail varnish (Thank god for superdrugs 3 for 2) 19 of which are Barry M and only 1 Models Own.
However! Yesterday I ventured into my local boots and bought a Black Nail Art Pen from Models Own collection. I'm not too sure how long they have had these out for but I was pretty chuffed when I spotted them. I've been looking for something like this for a while and all I could seem to find were expensive, 1 time use stickers.
For £6 a bottle, I was happy to shell out my money for one!
Not to mention if you bought 3 it would only cost you £12!
I just love the design of the box as well, it really stands out and is very eye capturing (ahh puns)
With the bottle you have 2 choices, either twist it to bring out a thick brush for lines and stripes or pull the top off to result in the nib that is photo'd below for writing words, dots and various other things!
Personally I prefer the nib end, the larger brush was a bit too large for me to do the lines without getting the nail varnish all over my hand and it's much easier to make the lines with the nib end. But really it's probably because my hands aren't the most stable of hands.
I would love to show you my results however my camera was playing up whilst I was doing this and my nails are now currently wrapped in newspaper (my next post will explain!) so here's Marina's lovely leopard print nails!

At the moment that have 5 different colours but I'm sure that they'll be adding more considering how good they are! You can pick these up in anywhere that sells Model Own make up brand so, Superdrug or Boots.
What do you think? Whats your favourite pattern to do with these nail art pens?
xoxo
