I love cuticle oil. Have all kinds and love to try new ones. I’ve been wanting a cuticle oil “pen” that I could pop in my purse, and was shopping around. I have a Chanel liquid eye shadow I love, and couldn’t wait to try their cuticle oil pen thinking it would be a win. Welp. It’s awful. It smells really strongly of….old flowers? And is SO greasy. I was bummed. #psa
Back to my gold standards! What is your favorite? Anyone have a travel-friendly pen they love?

I love the Holo taco nail oil pen. I’ve got a bunch of them stashed everywhere and one in my purse
I got a set of the empty Bliss Kiss refillable pens and filled them with my own mix of 50/50 jojoba and Cuccio honey & berry cuticle oil. I carry one everywhere in my bag and it doesn’t leak.
I’ve been really enjoying polished for days dew drops! I think my at home blend (60% jojoba, 25% vitamin e, 15% squalane) is my favorite for actual results, but I love all the scents!
My go-to is NBM!
I really like the nail honey by twinkled T (I got it off tiktokshop but I think they have a regular online store). Great smell, absorbs quickly, convenient pens in two sizes (the big one is refillable)
My refillable pen came from Twinkled T. There was something in the Nail Honey oil that made the skin under my nails peel, probably the rosemary oil, but I have no complaints about the pen itself.
As for oil, I just use jojoba and thicken it with a good avocado oil: not too much scent, not too greasy, not too runny. I use about 60% jojoba to 40% avocado.

Polished for Days Dew Drops! The doe foot applicator is the sh*t! I order them every PPU order so I always have one stashed here and there. Never leaks. 2nd runner up is Holo Taco pen. Also a great choice!
I just got bkl’s peach princess cuticle oil & its such an interesting smell. The oil itself is luxurious, but the smell is so sooo good. It’s fruity, but musky & pine-y. It was totally unexpected! It’s a bit small, but it’s also not that expensive.
I’ve heard good things about polished for days & that’s my next buy.
[This Bliss Kiss pen is refillable.](https://a.co/d/h0NlCLf) You can buy the pens separately, if you have a different cuticle oil you like, or you can fill it with your own blend. I personally love the vanilla scent! I have these pens in every room of my house, and my purse!
I use an old top coat bottle with jojoba oil. I don’t like scented stuff except when it’s meant to smell, like perfume. Pure jojoba oil has a slightly nutty smell, but it’s not too bad.
I’ve also mixed some of it with coconut and olive oil, it sits on top of the skin more and basically replaces a lotion.
I got a set of 5 pens for under $10 on Amazon. They are in my: purse, office, coffee table and car…always have one on me
