Even though this pen doesn't provide the same long lasting effect as a nail polish, it is still very handy to have and use for that quick french manicure.

I find that this manicure pen is extremely easy to use and it looks very neat and pretty. Another thing that I love is that it’s not messy (no nail polish getting on the sides of your fingers) and it dries very fast.

I always had problems getting my French tips rights.they always would look untidy and thanks to essence French manicure stick I'm able to apply those whites like a pro . I love that it is affordable and and it is worth the price

I absolutely love this French tip painter. It is cheap and works like a charm! I saw in some of the other reviews the ladies state that it can be low quality and you have to apply 2 coats, but I never have this problem. Maybe I'm just lucky! One of the best essence products out there!

Very cheap,unfortunately, unlike most other Essence products, the price shows in the product. The tip is too rigid to work effectively according to the curve of the nail. My hand is pretty shaky and I could not get my tip even and clean. Luckily I bought this over a holiday and my aunts and cousins managed to use it up before it got dry.

A mediocre product at best, but I've come to expect more from Essence.

I love french manicures and as a right handed person, always battle doing both hands evenly with the same straightness to the white strip.

This pen made applying the white so much easier and although I did have to apply minimum of 2 coats of white for decent coverage, it worked really well.

HOWEVER, the white chipped quite easily, no matter what base/top coat I applied.

I wouldn't buy this again.

Definitely well priced, but the quality of the applicator not that great, It appears as if this design was not very well thought out. It worked great the first couple of times, but as the other reviewers, mine dried out and became clogged.

I was so excited when I first tried this product and it worked like magic! But this product failed me every other time afterwards. The tip of the product got dry and just defeated the whole purpose of being a French manicure pen.

I loved the idea of this product, and it worked really well for a while, but the tip got clogged up and I can no longer use it. I tried various ways of unblocking it, but unfortunately nothing worked.

I have always tried to get an almost perfect french manicure and always failed. I tried the Sally Hansen pen, guides never as perfect as this one!

The tip is hard and is not a brush it is a kind of plastic and the nail polish comes out the tip when you push it on the nail.

It is honestly so simple to use, as you can see in the picture my toes look professionally done but they are not, I did them myself.

for R30 this is really an amazing find!

This is a horrible product, the pen is hard and the tip produces hardly any product even if you shake the pen as directed on the packaging. I hate giving a bad review, and maybe this was a dud product that I got, but I wont be buying this one again.
