Candy Coat is loved by celebs such as Chloe Burrows and the Kardashians, but does their new felt tip nail varnish pen work? Find out here.
According to Candy Coat's Instagram page, using the felt tip pen means you can get your nails completely done and dry in 20 minutes. Just hearing that made my ears prick up, and I had to give it a go. 20 minutes?! I don't know about you, but I take an hour just trying to paint the polish on without any streaks...as "a range of gorgeous and vibrant colours. It features no base and no top - simply twist and paint.
Ok, a warning - you will twist for ages wondering when the polish is going to emerge from the tip of the pen, and then...it'll all come pouring out at once and you'll be grabbing tissues and hoping that you can rub it off your very expensive wooden table. At least, that's what happened to me. For the future, defo twist slowly and have a tissue nearby so you can rub any excess off.
From my first attempts, you can see the results were a bit rough. The best performing colours were the pastel shades, such as on the right. The bold art-pop colours on the left were a little disappointing. For something that is marketed towards taking little time to apply, it would seem some colours may take a while to layer up. However, I was super happy with the pastel colours. After putting my hands under the UV lamp for 90 seconds, they were bone. dry. Impressive stuff.
