HOW TO REFILL A CUTICLE OIL PEN (including Bliss Kiss & large pens)

[@susanadisanto5825]

Excellent, thank you. The manufacturers don't want us to know this, but these dispensers are another single use plastic waste that doesn't have to be.

[@hoptoit5910]

The funny thing is you can buy what they advertise as being ‘refillable’. Empty cuticle oil pens. Yet they don’t tell you _how_ to refill them after the first initial fill.

[@marikathornton1855]

I know I wasn't the only one who requested this video, but I feel special! I'm so grateful for this! I got to prove my husband wrong. He said the pens were not refillable.

[@NatashaLeeDivine]

I always like to try and find a way round things and I hated the thought of just throwing them away, so much plastic just gets thrown away and it’s having such a devastating effect on the environment and all the creatures within it ♥️

[@susancnw59]

Marika Thornton I find that so satsfying, as my husband is ALWAYS right. Seriously, he is and doesn't gloat over it. When I am right, I circle the date on th calendar.

[@eveylavender]

I used a pair of pliers to remove the cap. (safer alternative) Thanks for the video!

[@Horsecrazy0814]

I like to tightly wrap some rubber bands around the nib of the pen and the barrel, which gives me a good grip to twist and pull with, and it's quite easy to get the pen apart!

[@homemakingwisdom]

Thank you for sharing. I was having so much trouble getting the brush nib off. This worked perfectly and I didn't stab myself.

[@amyw9360]

Commenting 4 years later to tell you that you are a genius and this worked like a charm

[@deniselovesglitter]

Saw this thumbnail and literally JUST said ‘shut up!’ because I have some pens that are almost empty and have been t r y i n g to figure out how to do this!! THANK YOU, Natasha! I love your channel!! ❣️♥️❣️♥️❣️ P.S. Having just watched this, my only request is to be mindful of the background color. For me, it’s a little difficult to see the clear/white pen against the very bright white background, with the little white components that are also white. Cheers and have a smashing day!! 😍

[@NatashaLeeDivine]

Perfect timing 😘

[@deniselovesglitter]

Natasha Lee I just watched this again and caught the Dexter reference 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Also - with the Bliss Kiss style of pen, you can just pull the brush nib end off from the body of the pen! Give it a go - wrap a napkin around the end, grip it around at the little ridge, and gentlyfirmlygently pull it straight apart - no more bleeding!!! I have learned so much from you, so this is me returning the favor. 🤓

[@reenapurdy3923]

Nail Therapy Studio Me too..Natasha saves the day!

[@JackOllie4]

I still come back to this video every single time I need to clean and refill my oil pens! So grateful this video is here! I use a regular butter knife from the silverware drawer to pop off the two ends. Much less risk of slippage and injury!

[@Cailyn_Amanda]

This video is EXACTLY what I needed! I kept trying and trying, and was so disappointed when I could never figure it out. It was the twisting the opposite way bit that never made it into my brain. Thank you, Tash! You are an absolute gem, and wallet saver!

[@lindat1879]

I'm so glad you did this video because I have the bliss kiss pen and couldn't figure out how to remove the crank part. 😊.

[@TXGirl6]

Thanks so much for this video! Works perfectly when refilling the newer Bliss Kiss pens. You dear, are a gem! I found using pliers (regular or needle nose) to pull the brush tip and end cap off worked so much better than prying pieces apart with a cuticle pusher or curette. More control...less risk of cutting yourself.

[@TheHarlequinade]

This is amazing! I bought a set of 5 empty ones on Amazon as I'm making my own oil at the moment. However, I was suprised how quickly I get through it and worried that once I'd got through all five, I'd need to throw them away and buy more. So much better for the environment, too!

[@reemyziz]

This video is a lifesaver! I used the second technique (only bottom can be taken off) on The Body Shop Almond Cuticle & Nail Oil and it worked like a charm. The bottom was kind of difficult to remove but I managed to add almond & coconut oil for some extra thickness, screwed the plunger and the bottom piece back on and now I have brand new cuticle oil!

[@JadeLeaf1980]

Btw, pliers with rubber grips work well for getting the nib out without causing accidents. I managed to pull the bum end off by bare hand quite easily with a bit of wiggling it back and forth slightly to loosen it. ☺️

[@thehadster7043]

THANK YOU! I didn't like throwing away the tubes, so I bought some lip stick tubes - the ones with a wand - and have been using them instead. I like these better!

[@danielavios]

Thank you so much, this helped me when the other videos did not. Used a clamp from my tool box to get the white tip off after loosening around the edges and it worked like a charm with no damage!!!

[@KimberlyOnnen]

Thanks for this great video! I ended up using a needle-nose pliers for both ends. No prying with a sharp tool needed.

[@GCAT01Living]

LIFE SAVER! I bought a pack of these (one for everywhere XD) and thought I would have to throw them away when they were empty. Thank you for showing us this!

[@nicolelavigne1700]

This is fantastic! I’d seen a diy cuticle oil pens from another KZbinr, before discovering your channel, using empty pens bought online but I hated the idea of having to throw them out after one use. This is perfect. So glad I found it. Thanks for this!

[@dimitrak529]

"Be careful wen using tools not to hurt your self" -Hurts my self twice with a screwdriver!

[@lilaofhyrule6365]

I used a pair of pliers to gently wiggle and pull op the nib. It leaves a bit of a mark depending on the type of plier but the brush still works just fine

[@debijusnailzz2021]

I was struggling with the cuticle tool. two seconds with the pliers and the bottom was off

[@merlybendijo1514]

This video is very helpful and informative to me, instead of buying another cuticle oil pen, now all I have to do is a bottle of oil and fill it myself 😘😘😘😘thanks for this

[@Egyptmania3000]

Omg Natash THANK YOU! This helped me also as I'm another oil pen addict who gets sad and frustrated having to toss them out. I have 1 new Bliss Kiss Pen left and its almost out. I just bought a small bottle of their vanilla oil to try refilling my pen. I like the pens much better because they can get into crevices where our finger tips can't and it helps ensure we got every spot. Again, THANK YOU 😚

[@arletbode4847]

You seem like such a wonderful and kind person. The video was very helpful, thank you so much!

[@ivy_2300]

Very useful video! Totally worked for me. Pen has been successfully refilled!

[@realtalk8813]

The one pen I got when I purchased an e-nail file, I already threw away after it got empty. And that oil healed my hurting cuticle. After I ran out it's bk hurting again. Guess I'll hafta order some more cuticle oil pens they work extremely well 🙏🧡

[@alexandracash8106]

This is exciting! I got a cuticle oil pen from Born Pretty and it wasn't expensive but the fact of having to wait 5 weeks for it to arrive makes me just want to reuse what I have if I can. I like these for my purse so that there is no danger of it spilling. 😊

[@dewm6172]

This is literally not something I would ever do, but I watched the whole thing. Love your voice. And videos!

[@WintrBorn]

Totally saving this. I like the pens, but use lip gloss tubes because I couldn't figure out how to reuse the pen style applicators. Thank you so much!

[@tinasagendorph9269]

I just sat here and refilled 2 of my cuticle oil pens. Even if I just get one more use out of them that makes it worth it.

[@SCSilk]

I never thought to remove the brush end, since fixing the plunger is most important. Also for other pens: be careful when you do pop it open. It’s possible to lose tiny parts which leave the pens useless.

[@ellalalalalalalalalalalalala]

omg thank you for some reason i was stuck on one part bc i was afraid i was breaking it but i was doing it right! thank you so much for this video!

[@cebollasconpatas]

Thank u so much for this video! Thanks to this i was able to refill my pen

[@annaconway7009]

Thank you for this video! I was wanting to refill my cuticle pen and it looked doable but I needed that extra info and you made it very simple!👍

[@Egyptmania3000]

Thank u Natasha! Been wanting try this myself but was worried I'd break the pen. Thank u! 😚

[@Littl3bun]

My oil pen wasn't twisting anymore so I was trying to find a video of how to take it apart, thank you for your video, very helpful! ♥

[@megerber]

If you heat up the cap connection area with some water heated up in a kettle, it will be significantly easier to remove (learned this while learning to refill Swiffer Wet Jet bottles)

[@Monsterchick14]

I love the fake Opi cuticle oil pens ❤️ and Ialso reuse them! And they are like the bliss kiss ones, so I will keep in mind that I could also pry off the bottom as well instead of trying to pull it off 👍🏻❤️ but if you do want to have a cheap refillable Oil pen and have the advantage of having oil in it first, go on eBay and search for cuticle oil pens, I am pretty positive that those show up there’s and also you can buy one at a time if you want. They are my favorite cuticle oil! And I like to use multiple cuticle oil‘s and oil’s lol ❤️

[@TheLadyTWells]

Thank you so much for this video. I have a few pens that are almost empty. Now I can do this and re-use them.

[@amysuewest3826]

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Thank you very, very much. I so much want to make my own oil and was scared of how to take my pens apart. Scared no longer! :)

[@ginnii25]

Thank you! I needed this video! So clear and easy to understand.

[@reenapurdy3923]

A darling❤️Thanks so much for solving the refill mystery!!!(wallet is happy too!💕)

[@sheetallakhani5371]

So much thankful .. u saved me from buying new pens..

[@krisamontoya]

Amazing video. I was seriously just thinking about reaching out to you to find out how you are able to refill the pen. I have been re-purchasing the empty pens over and over.

[@JadeLeaf1980]

I knew there had to be a way to do it. Mine doesn’t have it’s satisfying little click anymore after cleaning and refilling it but it still pushes out the oil at least. Am glad, I held onto all my used ones in case they were refillable. I use the smaller ones and I can pretty much use one pen up a week so this is great, it’ll save so much money and be putting less plastic in to the environment (it already annoys me enough having to throw away every used up asthma inhaler I get...such a waste - least now I know my nail oil pens won’t have to add to that pile of stuff that just ends up in a recycling bin ☺️).

[@fredacharbel7510]

Is the twisting to release the oil? When I did that I couldn’t twist it backwards to refill. Please advise. Thanks

[@melissaa4168]

Ok possibly a stupid question so apologies but if you can get a brush end off can you just go ahead and put oil in or do still have to try and get the back screw bit out to reset it? I have a Born Pretty pen that I purchased with oil in and it looks like it will be the brush end to open.

[@jessical4866]

3:10 I’m trying to use the exact same tool to pry up the twist end, but all that’s gotten me is a teeny gap the width of the tool and a chewed up Bliss Kiss pen. Even doing the exact motion shown in the video just leads to the plastic denting.

[@IsabelaDiasF]

It worked super well. I didn't wash because I'm lazy lol but those were great tips.

[@ninaredneckdodge8889]

This is gonna save me so much money! Thank you!

[@jd64064]

You can clip the little springy bits (for lack of a better word) off that stop the pen from twisting backwards, just use a nail clipper and clip them at an angle so the teeth on the gear can spin freely either way without catching. this way you won't have to take the bottom part off and you can turn it back without opening the bottom each time, and then just refill from the brush end of the pen.

[@miko-eh2ti]

I love your British accent Its so relaxing to hear

[@DixieGirlxox]

Awwww thanks so much for the shoutout Natasha

[@NatashaLeeDivine]

Dixie Girlxox I totally forgot to let you know that I’d given you a shoutout! Let’s blame it on the fact I’m ginger and seriously struggling in this heat without air con! My makeup was literally melting off my face filming this even with primer and urban decay setting spray! We need to catch up soon, I’ll pm you ♥️♥️♥️

[@DemetriasNailBiz]

😞 that you hurt thumb. Thank you for demonstrating on how to clean and refill the pen. Demetria's Nail Biz

[@Natasha-zl9eq]

Yay! Thank you Natasha! Very helpful and I can't wait to try and make the cuticle oil. Hugs xo

[@rose4961]

Thank you for making this video!

[@caroline5495]

I could never get the bottom of the pen off in order to refill mine. What I do is twist it the opposite direction (dislocating that little gear) all the way down until it stops. Then I remove the tip and push the plunger back down. Works just the same and hasn't caused any leaks!

[@NorseButterfly]

I just ordered jojoba and vitamin E oil last week.. it will be here tomorrow! (I needed shae butter for my cbd cream anyway😉 Might as well get everything at once!)

[@megsie5851]

Amazing!! Unfortunately I have different pens 🥲 Any chance you know if/how the CND Solar Oil pens can be refilled?

[@e4799]

Very helpful… Thank you!

[@lowrider692000]

Hi thanks for the video does this work with the CND RescueRXX Care Pen 2.36ml it's a twist top pen ??

[@gracious.threads]

After taking off the bottom you can also use a long cuticle tool by putting it through the tube and pushing the “brush top” off

[@CuriousNothing]

You're always saving my life

[@ellaandersson928]

this worked so good you just got a new followers!

[@hoptoit5910]

I know this is an old video but I’m sure many still search on how to refill these pens (as I did) so thought this might be helpful for some who have pens where they just cannot remove the bottom part. An easier way I found to refill the pens rather than pull them completely apart. Take off the cap and the brush (pour out any remaining product) get an eyeliner pencil or lip pencil (or anything that will fit in the top end) and push down. It does take a bit of strength but not as much as trying to remove the bottom end. Push it down far enough to refill. It’ll make that same ‘clicking’ noise when you’re doing this as it does when you wind it up. Once that’s done, give it and the brush a good wash in hot soapy water and rinse well. You can sterilise it at this point if you want (Milton or steam sterilise) Allow it to dry well and refill. I’ve done this numerous times with my cuticle oil pens and it’s so simple.

[@hannamary]

Dixie is amazing! TFS this!

Awww thank you so much

[@utoobr10]

I enjoy your videos very much!

[@AuroraBD0618]

Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@deborastefanova3227]

Thank you ,thank you i really needed this😢❤

[@msdebbie3674]

I followed the directions exactly. The plunger went down to the oil not the gears. Also some of the oil slick back into the plunger..Do you know what I did wrong?

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Been waiting for your video all weekend!

[@CraftFusionCreations]

have you tried using a teaspoon instead of the cuticle pusher?

[@carlyholmes3604]

thank you saved me buying a new pen

[@muddblood2172]

Thank you for this. I loved the pens I made but it seemed so wasteful to toss them when they were empty. Problem solved and money saved!

[@vickihall2545]

I did it! Thank you🙂

[@camilleelliott506]

And that is real blood Me: ya, I thought it was fruit punch 😂

[@NatashaLeeDivine]

Millie Goat dunno, it looked kinda a funny colour on camera, like fake blood 😂😂

[@camilleelliott506]

Natasha Lee, u are so amazing. U are a HUGE inspiration in my life. Thank you SO much.

[@mandicoleman7433]

Thank u sssooooo much!!! I couldn't figure out how to open them lol bugers 🤣😉

[@ParanineXY]

I have a click style pen as opposed to a twist style that I got from Glisten and Glow. Can I refill that one as well?

[@ParanineXY]

For anyone else who is wondering, I was successfully able to do this today. I removed the brush tip as shown, then pried apart the plastic at the clicker to remove the mechanism. I then disassembled the mechanism and was able to reset the clicker that was "out of clicks". It was a little more of a pain than what was shown in the video, but it did work.

[@tocakitty4066]

Thank u so much this really help me alot!

[@pedro-pascals-armpit]

thank you so much!!! ugh I was losing my mind trying to turn my pen in the opposite direction! it's a shame that these pens aren't easier to refill. so much plastic waste to throw them out after 1 use.

[@margaretchisholm3850]

Hi Natasha I have just came across your video on how to fill the pens. I have taken note of your diy cuticle oil ingredients. Could you please tell me how much of each item you mix to make the cuticle oil? Thanks. Margaret 😊

[@Brianne0797]

Thank you for this!!

[@RyoSaeba0077]

With the removable tip one, why not just cut the locking mechanism off (the little tiny springs that makes the clicking noise)? Then you can just retract the plunger like a lipstick and refill it from the tip end every time. What is the negative side to that?

[@checkerrawrs3030]

Great informative video! Thank you!!! ❤️

[@JJBabbles]

7:30 I can't get the brush to pop back into the barrel firmly. There's a visible gap. Every time I remove the cap it pulls the brush out a tiny bit & there's oil slowly seeping up the sides. I used to refill these brush pens a lot but I switched to rolereballs & now I can't remember the trick to getting the brush back in firmly 😂 I've tried everything I can think of to force the brush into the barrel but the tiny 'ledge/ridge' is so hard to push on (yes I broke 2 nails already 🤦‍♀️) If anyone remembers the trick to firmly get the brush back in - I'd really appreciate your advice! P.s. the amount of times I've revisited this video is pretty high - it's always so helpful 🥰

[@terselturtle120]

This is amazing!! Thank you!

[@vovobraga8959]

Thank you for your explanation

[@ButterflyJak]

I can’t get this to work. Tried it twice with different pens. The oil starts back going up to the other end when I start turning it and squeezing out of the join.

[@tinacarnicello9287]

Thank you❤

[@loristrout4741]

my husband gets tiny bottles with a cover for his paints I have refilled those several times.I soak the part that comes in contact with my nails in a little bowl with a little bleach and water then I wash in soapy water.

[@Bty-b5f]

so helpful!

[@karenbonehill]

Brilliant thank you

[@user-sl7kt7bl6k]

so ik the comment is very late but i’m only needing this video now. i was trying to remove the end and i literally brok the tool i was using. is there a certain way i should be doing it?

[@user-sl7kt7bl6k]

nevermind it was just very difficult 😂

[@ELIZABETHTORRES-em3kx]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏I can’t not say thank you enough

[@clairepotter5944]

Mascara wand would be a good cleaner x

[@bernvlogs7391]

every time I use a screwdriver or something to remove or open similar things I always say "I'm not getting up just to get a better tool, I'll be fine" 2 minutes later I'm tending to puncture wounds. NOTHING will beat the business end of micro crochet hooks getting stuck in your flesh. normally I can stay calm in these situations but with this one I had to push it further through to clip the hook off so I could pull it out. Now I always make sure to have safety glasses and nitrile lined gloves among other safety tools. Be safe and cut towards your buddy.

[@nil6256]

I've been wondering if this is possible for so long!

[@thenailpolishbottle7267]

Thank you SO much for this video😘

[@segreen1046]

I wash the outside of the pens to make sure they are oil free and use two of those silicone jar openers, one to hold the tip and the other for the body and pull. Then repeat on the plunger part. It'll be slippery if there is any oil on the outside but nothing to cut yourselves on!

[@ly4585]

Cant like this enough!

[@ixchelaguilarcampos3893]

I buy the emptied pens at eBay, really cheap if you do your own oil as well.
