Thanks Michelle, I am always looking for ways to make the white fills easier and faster. I am slow at p/w. I will get one of those and try it on a p/w ac with gel topcoat! I love this list! I learn so much here. Angie Wingerter

Filled the nails or toes like usual with Axxium gel. On the last coat of gel, I used a dry foam buffer to smooth it of big file ridges. I applied the white with the nail art pen to all ten nails. I put a second coat on all ten nails because I didn't think it was white enough. I used an unused acrylic brush dipped in acetone to clean up the smile line. Then I sealed in with top gel and cured. I'm sure you could use a gel lacquer over it, just like the top gel. Once it's dry, it seems to stay put. I did use it OVER a gel lacquer and under the top gel on some toes I did, and it worked great. I have not used it on natural nails yet, although I intend to, and I used it on natural toes and it ROCKED!!! Those little bitty smile lines can be a pain and this is perfect! I don't know that I will ever use polish or white gel polish again! The only thing I have to say is.... it keeps you honest about capping the free edge. You need to cap it with the white and make sure you cap it with whatever you top with or it will wear off the ends as soon as it's washed!! Learned THAT the hard way... LOL.... Anyway, have fun... it took me a minute but it is way worth it.

Really? I will have to try that. Can you put gel colors over that? Like a light french pink? Can you use a gel topcoat? Do you use it on natural nails too?

Just recently, Elaine from Star Nail turned me on to using the Cina Nail Art Pen in white to do my french and I am SOLD!!!! It goes on like a pen and you can clean it up with a brush and acetone to make a perfect french... it goes on really well and is super thin, even when doing 2 coats! I have pics on my facebook of my first couple attempts for those who want to see... can be used for polish or with gel... Fairly inexpensive, purchased at Sally's!!! :) Thanks again, Elaine!!!

Good morning! I'm looking for a brush on white gel similar to one that Brisa used to make (and maybe still does?) - since I've gotten into these gels again I'm looking for a way to offer a "no chip" french mani but I don't want a "pot" of white, and want it to be thinner and very opaque.. Or suggestions on how you're doing these types of french mani's on hands and feet (if you have a different way) would be appreciated! I have a feeling I'm asking questions that have been discussed already, so I'm sorry! Thanks everyone, for being so helpful! -- Sent from my mobile device Becky F.
