The product under consideration is referred to as a Nail Pen. The Nail Pen consists of an outer bottle and inner mechanism, both composed of plastic. The outer bottle will contain nail polish.

This mechanism prevents spillage as well as limiting the exposure of the polish to air to extend shelf life. The container and inner mechanism will be imported together and filled with nail polish after importation.
