Polishey - nail varnish pens

[Emmmmz9]

They look fab but anyone tried? Wary of purchasing off a social media advert (for present for 16yr old dd)

Reviews on TrustPilot are very mixed

Did you end up ordering @Emmmmz9 ? I seen these today and thought they looked good but mixed reviews on trust pilot as pp mentioned

@AlwaysFoldingWashing no I chickened out in the end 😂

I ordered these without reading reviews, other than those on the ad on Facebook. I felt they were expensive (especially after adding postage cost), but that they would be worth the cost if they did the job. They don’t. Despite being heralded as a health-conscious option ie no chemicals/smell, you still need to use base coat and top coat. The ones provided are cheap. I have used colours 06 and 11. 06 was ok and the pen provided good coverage, but didn’t conceal nail ridges the way polish does. However, there is no volume/qty stated on the pens and the second one I tried (11) only covered one hand before turning scratchy. I wrote to customer service and, to be fair, received a swift reply with advice. They are essentially a water based felt pen. I actually got better results using a Crayola felt pen! So, for me, not a good purchase and a waste of money. The colour that applied successfully lasted only a day before every nail edge was chipped (this despite me painting under the edges with top coat). It’s difficult to paint your non-dominant hand properly - much easier to achieve a lovely result with a brush. All in all I’ll use them up but will stick with good quality polish at a fraction of the cost. I feel a bit ripped off. Don’t waste your money

Ladies - I would keep well clear of Polishey Nail Pens

They are not a UK based company, they are from Hong Kong.

I used my credit card when I recently ordered some for my wife and daughter. Within 25 minutes someone from Polishey had tried to fraudulently purchase a load of US SIM cards and get them delivered around the corner from the HQ in Hong Kong. It’s only when they were successful that I had the nightmare of cancelling the order of SIM cards and prove it was not me who ordered them. When I spoke to Tesco bank they said whoever was the fraudulent person at Polishey was not very bright as they had given a residential address in Hong Kong. The good news, I got my money back. When I emailed Polishey to let them know why had happened, I was greeted with hostility and emails at Midnight as intimidation tactics. They then cancelled my order and I have still not had the refund.

i am so glad the bank and Police are onto them.

BE CAREFUL

I ordered these and they’re awful! The varnish lasts about an hour before flaking away and washes off almost entirely in water.

Omg can't believe they did that to you. I'm so glad I saw this as I was going to order some. I won't be now
