Are you a nail enthusiast? We, we are all. How do you handle an old bottle of nail polish? And how do you handle when you reach the end of the nail polish bottle? Throw it away or leave it alone? Please give pause before tossing it out. There is still more you can do with it yet! Let’s talk about how to reuse an old bottle of nail polish today. We have the following suggestions for your reference.

1. If the nail polish in the bottle is dry
* Add a few drops of nail polish thinner into the bottle. Put the lid back on firmly.

* Shake the bottle. The nail polish thinner will help to release the dry nail polish, making it usable again.

* Use as usual, until it's all gone.

2. Cleaning out an old bottle of nail polish

Add a few drops of nail polish thinner or paint thinner in the bottle if there are dried-up remnants of nail polish. Then add some acetone to finish cleaning out all polish residue. Add the lid on tightly. Shake this around for about a minute, to lift off any remains and pick up the last of the nail polish.

Allow to dry fully. Then rinse out with soapy water.

Allow to dry fully again. Once dried, you can reuse the empty bottle as you like.

Clean the brush as you clean the bottle if you need it.

3. Changing the empty nail polish bottle into a mini Vase

Clean the bottle thoroughly. Decorate the bottle. Use nail polish from other bottles to paint pretty designs onto the bottle. For example, flowers, stripes, patterns, etc. Allow to dry.

You could also choose to add other features decoration. For example, you might stick on small artificial gems, beads or sequins.

The tiny vase can be used to hold a small bunch of dried flowers or leaves, or it could hold incense sticks, or anything that you find decorative.

4. Using the empty bottle for makeup or travel. If you're camping and have very slim, long candles, the nail polish bottle might be just ideal for holding them upright.

5. Using for storing items. Fill old bottles with memories, such as unusually colored soil from your travels, or sand from your favorite beaches. Label and date, so that you'll remember.

Also, if your nail polish is water based, you might not even need nail polish thinner to clean it up. You might be able to use water alone to clean it.

Hope the above suggestions are helpful to you
