Has anyone bought these nail polish pens? Im tempted but don’t usually spend this much on nail varnish. Do they run out quickly? Do they chip easily? Is it reads easy as the video claims? TIA.

I have just found this as was looking for reviews to see if anyone thinks the same as me! I bought a set and they are fiddly- especially painting your non dominant hand. Base coat and top coat required and a good couple of layers of the colour too. I think nail polish gives better coverage and a smoother finish… and cheaper! All in all disappointing- i wouldnt bother!

Oh shame, I've been wondering about these too.

My husband bought me ‘polishey’ for Christmas . My nails lasted me 13 days. Live them so much I bought another set!

I really like them, they dry much quicker than normal nail varnish and I find it easier to put on. Also rather than chipping it kind of wears off along the edge, so you can just touch it up and put another layer of top coat on

I think if my nails were longer it might be better. Maybe i have to use it a bit more often to get used to it but after one use i prefer polish with a brush. I will persevere!

They’re rubbish! They go on really well but then start chipping after an hour. They wash off in water (so useless if you plan on washing your hands at any point) and if I do them in the evening, I’ll wake up with chunks missing, despite just being in bed asleep. Mixed reviews on trustpilot and their Instagram page has been inactive since May 2025.

I did try them again and with all the coats and the top coat they were ok but yes they chipped easily. Pretty expensive compared to polish too… essie is better and way cheaper- and loads more colours!

I didn't like them and you couldn't choose the colour so there were only two out of six that I liked. I have just bought my usual Rimmel 60 second one with a brush.
