How to Open Your Gel and Airbrush Color Bottles

Our airbrush and gel colors can be opened just with the cap alone! All bottles have a foam gasket that reduces product leakage. Follow this tutorial and you'll extend the life (and cleanliness) of your colors. Here's the video:

All Cookie Countess brand gel colors and airbrush colors can be opened this way!

My paints do not have a circle in the middle, it’s a solid piece. Are my paints an older version?

The Cookie Countess replied:
Our newer bottles do not have the ring anymore, as our vendor was able to change the seals used in manufacturing.

I just bought a $179.00 unit. ☺️
But the paints are so hard to pierce through.

The Cookie Countess replied:
If using the lid to poke through the seal is too difficult for you, you can always carefully use a knife or scissors to slice a small hole in the center of the seal.
