Ok, so I can do a shabby job of my own french manicure with the nail polishes but this product caught my eye in a glossy mag the other day . . .

But it seems a tad expensive at 30 quid. If it's good I will pay 30 quid for it but just wondering if anyone had used this product, or a similar cheaper version or whatever? And what they reckoned?

have you tried the ones that are similar to white eyeliner which you put under your nail? i quite like that, although it doesnt last for long
edit: you can get plastic sticky things that are half moons and paint over yourself with white nail polish and then when dry paint over full nail with pink. It would be a fraction of the cost but as i said before chips off easily and has to be upkept everyday
EDIT: Did have a link but it showed my full name on amazon so search Manicare French Manicure Pen on amazon
that one. The thing that puts me off that is the reviews make it sound like it's got the brush end as opposed to the felt tip pen end that the Yves Saint Laurel one appears to have.
I may put it on my wanted birthday list! Should have got it in duty free shouldn't I! Never mind!
I've used these before and the results are nice. http://www.amazon.co.uk/360655-Manicare-Tip-Tapes/dp/B000P5VYQ4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=drugstore&qid=1217196046&sr=8-3 You just have to make sure the base coat is completly dry else you might get a little smudging when you take the sticker off.
Also comes in a kit

Also, SH makes a white pencil

And two pens, one fine tip and one regular... sorry I'm a sally hansen freak Can't find them on Amazon, their UK site is broken and not sure where else to look for you in the UK but here is it from the US site
