Yes…I realized that many nail polishes can outlast 5 years! I have some around 10 years old and I believe they can still be used.

I was going through my really old nail polish and I found some L’orial that is at least 15 years old. 3 bottles are still the proper consistancy for applying. One bottle, my favorite of course got thinck & goopy. I just thinned it down a little with acetone. I did a test application and it went on fine, but it is very slow to dry. Too bad the don’t make the shade “sealily” anymore

Me too! I got some really cool dark purple (Maybelline I think) about ten years ago and now it is really in style! Glad I kept it. And, yeah, I have always kept all of it in the fridge. Occasionally one will react and thicken and bubble when I take them out, and those are the ones I toss. There doesn’t seem to be a big diff between expensive and cheap; it’s kinda random. I had some expensive stuff that I got for free at a store that was closing and it was very gloppy and bubbly. I think the store had had it on the shelf a long time and that’s why they were giving it away.

never ever throw them away, there will always be a moment when you will regret it
