1. It Won't Blend
If you shake your nail polish bottle, it should blend together. "Polish should last for up to two years once opened, but if it's still separated and won't blend after a quick shake, toss it."
2. It's Crumbly

If you forget to tighten the cap on the bottle, then there might be little flakes of polish on the top of it. When that happens, your nail polish is as good as ruined.
3. The Bottle Won't Open
If you can't open the bottle, then how are you going to use it? Don't waste your time trying to make it budge, because the polish probably won't come out all that great anyway.
4. Polish You Keep "Just Because"
If you're never going to wear it, then why are you letting it take up space in your bathroom? If you think the color is ugly, then throw the bottle in the trash.
If you're tired of your same old nail polish and want to shake things up a bit, you're in the right place. Here we provide some trendy and unique nail colors options for you. Enliven your style and let your fingertips do the talking. Get ready for the compliments!
5. Glitter Polish That's "Globby"

If you can't seem to spread the polish across your nails, then it's unusable. That means there's no sense in keeping it around.

You don't need ten bottles of pink nail polish. You're never going to use it all. Get rid of the ones you don't like as much and keep the ones that you prefer.

Jenifer: Just wondering how do u post stuff on here
Thelma62913: I just got a beautiful gel manicure yesterday. It's a nice maroon color. I tend to throw my polish out when I know I will never wear the color again or if it's all watery at the bottom.
