Flowery Nail White Pencil with Cuticle Pusher Cap - Set of 3

I really like these nail pencils! Yes, they are a bit fragile, but if you are careful in sharpening and in using them they will stay intact. They are 50% longer than the Hansen pencils and 50% less expensive. They work very well to whiten under the tips of nails. Yes, you do have to wet the nails in order for the white to stay under, but that is not a big deal; it is not an all day fix - I use it 2 or 3 times a day as needed or wanted.

I have been using Sally Hansen‘s white manicure pencils since the 1980’s. Unfortunately, you can no longer get them so I thought I’d give this a try. I do know in the past I’ve bought the flowery brand at Sally’s beauty supply and it worked just as good as Sally Hansen‘s. You cannot find those pencils anymore either, so I thought I would take a chance and buy this 3 pack on Amazon. These are absolute garbage. They do not work at all and when you try to sharpen them, it just breaks off. . It’s basically just a white pencil they are trying to market for nails. I ended up returning it and got my money back.

Great product and price

Pencil is not as good as the old Sally Hansens. However, since we don't have those anymore, these are what we have to work with. If you take your time and make sure the underside of your nails are wet and the point of the pencil has been run under water, they can work pretty well. It takes longer and you need to be patient. When sharpening the pencil, do it slowly and carefully when the pencil is dry. I am happy to have these pencils available and they make my shorter nails look very nice.

Tip breaks easily but if you find the sweet spot it effectively whitens nails. Trick is not to apply much pressure.

I found if gently sharpened the pencil it doesn’t waste as much. And also use small sharpeners. Love the end result. Highly recommended!

I was so disappointed that Sally Hansen discontinued the nail white pencils - I've used them since I was a child. And, I wasn't going to pay $65 for one Sally Hansen pencil on eBay (gougers!). So, I was happy to discover the Flowery nail pencils on Amazon. I read the reviews and a great majority of reviewers said that the pencils were much too soft and were crumbly. Since they were the only nail white pencils I could find, I thought I'd try them. After all, I wanted the white leads to be soft. I received three pencils in my order. Well, the company must have taken the reviews seriously and "toughened up" the leads. All three of my pencils are so hard that they are painful to use! I have even soaked the leads overnight and they do not soften. They leave a slight (very slight!) lightening effect under the nails but nothing like good old Sally pencils did. I'm very disappointed.

The BEST White Nail pencils-I have used other Nail White pencils before I was not able to find Flower but no other brand is as good as Flowery Nail White Pencil!!!! Holds the point on the pencil and point breaks less often-and points of pencils are easy to sharpen with pencil sharpener. I have only used old fashion pencil sharpener never used elec. or battery designed units. And for Extra white under nails one can wet the point of the pencil's white tip before using.Texas Ga;

The pencils are good, but the inside white part is a bit difficult to sharpen as it is a very soft substance. It works good under the nails but wetting the pencil tip is not a very good idea as it breaks so easily. I just use it dry and it brightens up the look of the nails when they are long. A very good find!

Every time you try and sharpen them they break off. And when you do get a good sharpen they do not make under nails white. I can soak them and my fingers and they don’t work. Do not recommend 😡

I have been searching for a whitening pencil for years! I used to use Sally Hansen back in the early-mid 2000's, but no-one carries it anymore, or maybe it was discontinued?I absolutely love this pencil, it goes on easily and isn't chalky or messy, and it lasts. I love it more than the Sally Hansen. It's not as white, as I remember the SH, but it still whitens and enhances my nails... I LOVE IT! I also love that it's a longer pencil, so the 3 pack will last a very long time!

Sometimes your nails can look yellow or discoloured. This is the answer. I don't always have the time or money to do my nails or have them done. A quick clean, file and coat of clear and the whitening pencil is my quick trick when I need my hands and nails looking good without much effort. The only thing is when the pencil needs resharpening use a good sharpener. Cheap plastic sharpeners will just break the lead.
