FIND MY NAIL HONEY ↓They're all filled with Nail Honey. The biggest difference is how, where and how often you want to use it.
Consider this your official guide to finding the Nail Honey that fits into your routine.
First: Where Do You Want Your Nail Honey?
The 2 ml Nail Honey Pen: Pick Your Vibe
Our 2 ml cuticle oil pens are made for Nail Honey on the go. Toss one in your purse, leave one at your desk, keep one in your travel bag, or strategically place them everywhere.
The hard part? Choosing which one.

Original Nail Honey
Fresh • Herbal • Classic
The one that started it all. Fresh, herbal and unmistakably Nail Honey.
Pick this if: you want the signature Nail Honey experience.
SHOP ORIGINAL
Nour Nail Honey
Rainforest, but make it sexy.
Nour is the moodier side of Nail Honey. Fresh, lush and sultry, with a scent that gives us rainforest-after-dark energy.
And she looks the part. Nour comes in a sleek black pen that's just as good looking as the scent is addictive.
Pick this if: you gravitate toward deeper, sophisticated scents and sleek packaging.
SHOP NOUR
Citrus Nail Honey
Bright • Juicy • Fresh
Basically sunshine in a pen. Citrus combines fresh lemon + sweet orange for a bright, juicy twist on Nail Honey.
Even better? It comes in our butter-yellow pen, because obviously sunshine needed an outfit.
Pick this if: you're an orange-and-lemon person through and through.
SHOP CITRUSWhy Choose a Cuticle Oil Pen?
If Nail Honey lives in your purse, at your desk or comes everywhere with you, a cuticle oil pen makes applying your oil ridiculously easy.
The brush applicator lets you swipe Nail Honey around each cuticle without needing a separate brush or dropper.
To dispense Nail Honey, point the brush upward and twist the pen to the right until the oil reaches the brush.
5 ml XL Refillable Pen: Bigger, Refillable & Ready for Anything
Love the convenience of a cuticle oil pen but go through Nail Honey a little too quickly?
Meet the 5 ml XL Refillable Nail Honey Pen .
It holds more than twice as much Nail Honey as our original pen and, even better, you can refill it.
The removable brush head allows you to refill your XL Pen from a Nail Honey refill bottle, so your favorite applicator can stay in rotation again and again.
10 ml Nail Honey Bottle: Your Nightstand Essential
If you're more of a "do my nails while I'm in bed watching TV" person, this one's calling your name.
The 10 ml Nail Honey Bottle gives you plenty of Nail Honey in a classic brush-on bottle.
Brush it around your cuticles, then massage any remaining Nail Honey into your fingers and hands for an extra dose of moisture.
Leave it on your nightstand, vanity or wherever your nighttime nail routine happens.
1 ml Sample Dropper: A Tiny Taste of Nail Honey
Nail Honey curious?
Our 1 ml Nail Honey Sample Dropper lets you try the formula in a tiny format before moving on to something bigger.
It's also perfect if you simply prefer applying your cuticle oil with a dropper.
Nail Honey Refills: Because Running Out Is Not an Option
Once Nail Honey becomes part of your routine, there comes a point when a tiny bottle just isn't going to cut it.
Our Nail Honey Refill Bottles come in 30 ml, 60 ml and 120 ml sizes.
Use them to refill compatible Nail Honey applicators instead of replacing them every time they're empty.
Which Nail Honey Applicators Are Refillable?
The XL Refillable Pen, 10 ml Bottle and 1 ml Dropper are designed to be refilled.
So yes, you can keep your favorite applicator and just keep the Honey coming. 🍯

SHOP THE NAIL HONEY HIVEFrequently Asked Questions
Is a cuticle oil pen or bottle better?
Neither is inherently better. The best cuticle oil applicator is the one you'll actually use consistently. A cuticle oil pen is convenient for on-the-go application, while a bottle works beautifully for a dedicated at-home nail care routine.
How often should I use cuticle oil?
We recommend applying Nail Honey at least twice daily and after washing your hands. Keeping it somewhere you'll actually see it can make it easier to build into your routine.
Can you refill a cuticle oil pen?
Our 5 ml XL Nail Honey Pen is specifically designed to be refillable. Lower the plunger, remove the brush head, add Nail Honey and reassemble your pen.
What's the difference between Original, Nour and Citrus Nail Honey?
Original is the classic fresh, herbal Nail Honey. Nour is our darker, lush scent with rainforest-after-dark energy and comes in a sleek black pen. Citrus is bright, juicy and fresh with lemon + sweet orange and comes in our butter-yellow pen.
What size Nail Honey should I buy?
Want something small and portable? Choose a 2 ml Pen. Want portable and refillable? Choose the 5 ml XL Pen. Want something for your nightstand? Choose the 10 ml Bottle. Already obsessed? Grab a Refill. Can't decide? That's what the Hive is for.
