Natalie.

I have no idea what the name of the botle is that your looking for, but I have done three type of heena applications that are tried and true for me, and don't kill my hand afterwards and that, no matter what I try, I always go back to.
(1.) Try a sheet of plastic, and put a staight pin in the hole until it fits around the pin TIGHTLY, and keep twisting it, and you will have something that rembles a cake decorating icing tube. Then, to keep your thumb HAPPY, cut the top of down to a size that when you fill the cone with henna and folding it over a few times you will have it sitting in the palm of your hand, and then seal it with duck (t( tape, however you happen to say it, it's the silver tape. This is a good cone for me, and after I use it, I pop it in the fridge and it never has seeped through yet.
(2.) Get a tube of RANI or JANI cone henna, and when your done using it, go to an arts&crafts store. Go to the empty bottle section, and take your tip with you and try screwing it on the small bottles you find. If you can not find the size it will fit, you might try the sally beaty supply or the nearest wal-mart sewing section. They have all sorts of bottles in both places.
(3.) Ask the butcher in your local supermarket for some butcher's paper, and make your cone the same way as (1.). The only problem, sometimes the henna soaks through the paper anyway, and when you squeze it, SURPRISE! Henna not only comes from the hole but also from the sides, and every where else!!!!! I hope these tips help you in some way or fashion.
