Test Your Old Paint


a while back i found some paint that just didn't dry. (here)
well here is how you "test" your old polishes so you dont run into the trouble I did..

  1. get a sheet of paper i used cardstock.
  2. paint a spot of the paper and set the bottle next to it to dry
  3. continue doing this untill you have tested all of the polish you have to test. If its less than a few months old dont bother testing its fine)
  4. use one bottle of new polish to test last. yea i know you dont need to test it this is your control. when this one is dry the rest should be dry as well. try to avaoid using a "quick dry" polish as your control
  5. check every swatch of color with your finger if is feels smooth and glassy like then its still good. if it feels kinda tacky its probably bad, if its one you really love, leave it there and test the rest, and then go back to it. if it is still tacky sorry its bad you have to toss it. but that DOES give you permission to buy a new maybe even more fun color!
and no more oops! my nails didnt dry days!
