Depends on the brand and quality. Professional products are the best. My personal fav is OPI, but there are tons of kinds out there. It really depends on how often you use it. I actually have some that I have had for over 3 years and they are still good. If you have a color that has become "goopy and thick", try buying a clear coat and adding it in. It shouldn't effect the color. There is also a product you can buy at you local beauty supply store that can help you with this problem. As long as the polish seems normal, there is really no expiration date on it. Good luck!!

Unlike powders, creams, and pencils, nail polish doesn't have an expiration date because it isn't conducive to harboring bacteria which can make you break out or give you an infection. As long as the polish isn't stringy or lumpy and it applies easily, it's still good. To keep polishes longer, keep the top of the bottle clean before you replace the cap so that it stays air-tight and doesn't dry out the polish.

Black nail polish might want to be on both. if you're goth or that's hallowen that's soo lovable and in. yet when that's for in simple terms reason soooooooo tack. red nail polish continually in. It seems lovable with some thing. that's an exceedingly good thanks to brigten up an outfit or someons day! i like even as they positioned an exceedingly light blue and positioned a particularly layout on. when I were given rainbow colored ... so 7 hues in preserving with nail. It regarded sooo lovable. I also do take excitement in french manicures to. i imagine they look so lovable and organic...(each and every so often). large question btw.

More expensive nail polish will last longer than the cheap stuff. If you can shake it and it still moves, it is probably good! Some of mine last for years and some are gloppy in a few months.

Nail polish is good to keep for at least a month or two it should get kinda thick by then so u'll have to throw it out.It also depends on how often u use it.So u'd have to tell me the frequency of use.

I am not sure but I change clrs. very year or so or it depends on how often you use it. If say there is a little left in a bottle and you really want to use it then throw it into the fridge for an hour and you are set to go.
cheers

I believe it's 6 months...
Or until it gets sticky or dries up.
Hope this helps.
