Born Pretty Store's Nail Art Pen Review and Sugar Spun Nails

Hey everyone!!! I am here with the review of nail art pen from Born Pretty Store and the nail art I created using it. First of all lets talk about the pen. The pen is available in 6 basic shades and comes in a nice package. The one that was sent to me for review is a wonderful pink shade.


        The pen is Toluene, DBP and formaldehyde free and is fast dry pen. The tip is very fine (as can be seen on the third image above). The ink formula is waterproof and  the design can be created on any dry polish. The pen need to shaken a little bit and while applying you need to pump a bit on the nails and the color just flows smoothly on the nails. The pen is easy to use and one can create nice designs using the pen. 
        Now here is the design I created using the pen (One image is without top coat and one is with it). 
Design without top coat
The polishes which I have used are-
1. White- Lakme Color Crush 08
2. Grey- OPI NL G21 (Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!)

Steps:
1. After applying base coat I applied white color on all the nails and let it dry.
2. I applied the tape over the nails before the next step.


3. I then used the sugar spun method using OPI Nein!Nein! Nein! Ok Fine to create the design. 
 

4. After the above step, remove the tape and the design will look something like this
5. Now using the nail art pen draw the designs in between the left out spaces.
Design with top coat
6. After this its your will to add top coat. I have taken a photograph without top coat and one with top coat.

At last to wrap it up, some pros of the pen-
1. Toluene, DBP and Formaldehyde free.
2. Dries up easily.
3. Easy to use, just shake it and pump once and the ink flows out smoothly.
4. Intricate designs can also be created.

Cons-
1. Available in just 6 shades. It would have been much more good if more colors were available.
