Using Vaseline to Create a Sealed Rim on a Nail Polish Bottle
After multiple uses, the nail polish bottle cap can become difficult to open. To prevent this, apply a small amount of Vaseline around the mouth of the bottle after each use. This will ensure that the cap doesn’t stick tightly the next time you need to use it.
Preventing Smudges in Nail Polish

Tips for Making Nail Polish Shopping Easier
If you store multiple nail polishes in one box and have trouble finding the color you need, try this simple trick: dot a little bit of each nail polish color on the bottle cap. This will make it easy to find your favorite nail polish.
Thinning Clumpy Nail Polish
There are two ways to thin out clumpy nail polish:
- Pour a little nail polish remover into the bottle and shake well. The nail polish will thin out quickly.
- Put a few small ball bearings into the bottle and shake well for 1-2 minutes before each use. The ball bearings will help blend the nail polish color.
“How to Open a Sealed Nail Polish Bottle Cap”
If you’re having trouble opening a tightly closed nail polish bottle cap, try this trick: flip the bottle upside down and place it in a glass. Then, pour hot water into the glass, making sure it reaches the mouth of the bottle. The heat from the water will soften the nail polish, making it easier to open the cap.
Steps to Removing Nail Polish
Removing nail polish with excessive force can damage your nails. To remove nail polish properly, dip a cotton pad into nail polish remover and wrap it around the nail. Then, wrap foil around the cotton pad and press firmly. After 5 minutes, remove the foil wrap to reveal clean nails.
Fast-Drying Nail Polish
After painting your nails, soak your freshly painted hand in a bowl of ice water. The cold temperature of the ice water will help the nail polish dry faster and set the designs on your nails.
Create a Stylish Look with White Nail Polish
If the nail polish color you bought doesn’t look the way you expected, you can fix it by painting a layer of white nail polish on your nails as a base. This will make your favorite color show up more accurately.
