Extras - Brushes & Bottles & Caps & BBs

Description More Info Ingredients Reviews! Please choose your items from the drop down menu For a complete bottle please choose three items: BOTTLE + CAP + BRUSH.   BOTTLES: Full size come in trays of 10 x 13 bottles, so multiples of 10 are ideal for packing larger orders (>20).    >Bulk #s are also sold in single tray amounts (130 for 15ml bottles) for bottles, caps and corresponding. Mini size bottles come in trays of 11 x 15, so multiples of 11 are ideal for packing larger orders (>20).   >Bulk #s are also sold in single tray amounts (165 for 8ml bottles) for bottles, caps and corresponding.  Extra bottles NOT for replacing broken IB bottles (If you received a defective, cracked, broken bottle, please contact us at indigobananas@gmail.com for free replacements!). Volume held is 15ml for FULL size bottles, 8ml for MINI bottles, filled to the bottom of the neck of each bottle. Extra bbs (ball bearings, mixing balls) - Have other polish bottles that need BBs? Add these to your order.   These mixing balls are made of #430 grade steel and are chemically resistant.  Generally 1-2 are used per bottle, up to four or so if you need to mix something heavy or would like something to remix very fast (shimmer put into fast dry top coats that don't have any suspension power for example). Extra labels - please contact us directly if you have need of extra IB labels or need a replacement. strong>------ Brushes ------ Flat brushes are a bit wider and flatter than standard (or 'skinny') brushes, but not the very 'wide'/'chunky' type brushes that have maximum bristles.  Straight ends, and a bit more spring than standard/skinny brushes. The length for flat brushes for our 15ml bottles is quite a bit shorter than the length of the normal brushes or this would be the default Indigo Bananas brush offering. Paddle or fan brushes are wide and chunky style brushes, with a curved end and more bristles than other brushes.  These hold a lot more polish and cover more nail, but may also cover with too much polish or flood edges. Try it and see if you like them! The length for paddle/fan brushes for our 15ml bottles is a little bit shorter than the length of standard brushes. How to replace brushes: Remove the cap & brush from your IB bottle, wipe off polish, hold the cap in one hand and give the brush a hard yank (with paper towels or pliers).  The brush should pop out of the cap.  To change brushes, insert the new brush into the bottle and screw the cap onto the nail polish bottle. Alternatively you may purchase new caps, drop the brush into the bottle and screw on the cap. Please note: brushes are coated with clear nail polish so they are rigid. If you are using the brushes in non-solvent based liquids, or oils or water based liquids (diy cuticle oil, etc), please soak off the clear polish coating with acetone/remover first. NOTE ABOUT BRUSH SIZING: Our brushes are nonstandard and may not fit many other caps or bottles.  They are for 13mm wide neck bottles (15mm is the other standard bottle neck size).  The bottles that these brushes will fit are 36-39mm high (for the 8ml mini brushes), or 46-50mm high (for the 15ml full brushes).  They will fit longer bottles, but not shorter ones than the max.  These numbers are measured from the inside (glass bottom) to the top of the neck.  These are the measurements to check for if you're buying parts for other brands. How to measure if our caps or brushes will fit other brands' bottles:  WIDTH of neck: take a tape measure to the top of the neck of the bottle, and measure from the outside of the very top of the neck. This number should be 13mm. LENGTH of brush:  Insert a wooden stick (like an orange stick), mark off distance at the top of the neck with a marker.  This number should be 50mm or smaller. In addition, the cap and brush need to fit together. Our brushes may fit a FEW other brands, but when in doubt, you likely need to purchase our caps as well (or hot glue/krazy glue the brush top into your cap) for the brush and cap to screw together properly.
