How Do You Store Nail Polish?

Published in Nail Polish Care 1 min read

To best store nail polish and extend its shelf life, keep it in a cool, dark place.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Sunlight can cause the polish to thicken and change color. This is because UV rays can react with the ingredients in the polish.

  • Cool Environment: High temperatures can also affect the viscosity and consistency of nail polish. A cool environment helps to maintain the polish's original texture.

  • Dark Storage: A drawer, box, or cabinet away from light sources is ideal. This prevents premature drying and color alteration.

  • Upright Position: Storing bottles upright helps to prevent the polish from collecting in the neck of the bottle, which can make it difficult to open and can lead to clumping.

  • Away from UV/LED Lamps: Do not store nail polish near UV/LED lamps when they are in use, as the light can harden the polish.

By following these guidelines, you can prolong the life and usability of your nail polish collection.
