“Being disabled, I find it hard to paint my own nails. These pens were so much easier.” — Verified Customer, Trustpilot
It works on the days your hand doesn’t, not just the days it does. For a lot of women, doing their nails was a Sunday ritual, until MS made the brush feel like a different language — too much grip, held too still, for too long. They tried, and quietly wiped it off before anyone saw. A felt-tip pen asks for almost none of that: a light press, a familiar grip, one hand. That’s the whole difference between a good day and a bad one.
TL;DR: MS gives you good days and bad days. Nailed It is a felt-tip pen you hold like a biro and press lightly, so it works one-handed on the days your grip won’t — not just the days it will. No brush, no lamp, 5+ day wear.
1. It works on the days your hand doesn’t (not just the days it does)
The thing about a good day is you don’t need much help on it. Nailed It is built for the other days, the ones where your grip comes and goes, because it asks for so little: a light press, a familiar grip, one hand. It does the same thing whether today is an easy one or a hard one.
2. A light press is all it takes (about the press you’d use to sign your name)
A polish brush wants a firm grip, held at a steady angle, for far longer than a flare lets you. The pen wants almost nothing — about the light press you’d use to sign your name, and only for a second at a time. When your grip is the thing that fluctuates, that’s the difference that matters.
3. The same grip you’ve used your whole life (nothing new to learn on a hard day)
You hold it like a biro, because it is one, and that grip is the most practised movement your hands have. There’s nothing new to learn and nothing to get right under pressure, so your muscle memory carries it — even on the days when concentrating is the hard part.
4. One hand, no second hand to steady it (no help needed)
A brush needs your other hand to hold the bottle and steady the stroke. The pen doesn’t, so you can do every nail one-handed, with nothing to stabilise and no one to ask. You rest the hand you’re painting flat and let the other do the work.
5. No brush, no lamp, no long sit-still (a 5-step kit, 5+ day wear)
It’s a five-step at-home kit with no UV lamp and no holding your hands flat for twenty minutes. Each coat air-dries in about a minute, the colour is mostly water so there’s no smell, and the finish holds for five days and more. You’re not committing a whole good day to it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work on a bad day, not just a good one?
That’s what it’s built for. It asks for a light press, a familiar grip and one hand, so it doesn’t depend on your grip being at its best. The same kit works whether today is an easy day or a hard one.
Can I really do it with one hand?
Yes. The pen is one-handed by design, with nothing to stabilise and no second hand needed to steady it. You rest the hand you’re painting flat and let the other do the work.
How long does it last?
With the full five-step system — prep, base coat, colour, top coat — expect 5+ days. Touch-ups are quick if you catch a chip, and the kit includes every step so none get skipped.
What if it’s not for me?
You have thirty days. If it isn’t right, or you change your mind, we’ll refund you — no questions asked.
Bad days, good nails — both, from now on.
