#76 - Nail Edit - Nail Oil Refills
Oiling your cuticles is crucial to maintaining nail health and also your manicure before your next appointment. You can opt to buy cuticle oils from different brands, but if you oil often and looking to save some coin like me, you can opt to buy a large bottle of Jojoba Oil that will last a very long time.
I typically store my oil in 2 types of containers - bottle with pipette or a nail oil pen - I will include links to tools and jojoba oil at the end of this post.
The pipette bottle is the easy way of containing your nail oil - open bottle, use a longer pipette to get the oil from the big bottle and simply fill it up and screw the bottle cap back again.
The nail oil pen is the most popular way to apply nail oil to cuticles - it’s small enough to carry around an leave anywhere and easy to apply with a brush tip. But how does one refill it?
The nail oil pen is typically made up of 4 parts:
The main cap
The back cap
The twister
The brush attachment
You effectively have to remove all parts, twist the twister back to original position and reattach the twister and the back cap, fill it up with your thin pipette and then place the brush back into place and cap it.
If your oil pen is new, then these parts can be a little hard to take apart, sometimes even when they’re used it’ll still be a bit tight but no worries, here are my tips:
the back cap typically needs a little force and will come off
the brush attachment can be slippery, but a rubber glove would give you good grip to hold and pull it out - you can also use rubber glove for the back cap if you need some grip
push the twister attachment out instead of pulling it with force
And there you have it, easy as!
