Striper pens for french pedicure!

[amirose]

Ok so my mum said to me she uses a white striper pen for french pedicures and i always thought "cheat" lol! I've never had a problem doing french polish, even on the toes, HOWEVER I just bought a load of nail art pens and one of them was white. As my own toes needed doing I thought I'd give it a go, WOW! Its gives such a nice look. Its so nice and thin, perfect for the toes, and saves fannying about getting the white of the skin because you dont have a OTT wide brush!
Ok definatly reccomend it though I can imagine all you super smart techs prob do this already sigh ... :lol:

Ok duh I mean stiper brush . I bought some nail art pens but they have a striper brush as well. My mum uses the pen but couldnt get on with that so I tried the brush. Actually thats not at all what I said up there ^ Lol :irked:

Yeah i use a striper brush to do french sooooo much easier in fact i have just done my mates toes as she is pregnant and cant bend down any more lol i found it so much easier to do it this way and have doing it for about 6 months now.
I also tried airbrushing white tips on toes what a nightmare now i stick to stripers

Thats a great idea, I wondered if there was an easier way for doing french on toes as I seem to have to clear up quite a bit.

I'm gonna give this a go!

It really is a dream doing it this way, isn't it, I could never do short toe nails with a loaded polish brush

 

[janeawallace]

Is it still a brush like in nail polish??

 

[amirose]

Yes its a brush like you have polish but the brush is only a couple of mm thick! WAY easier lol

How do you clean the brush afterwards? Do you just use nail polish remover and wipe the brush until it's clean?

That's just about right, hun. Do try it! I've always done it like that, and it's real easy...
