Does everyone else keep the lids of their nail polish bottles clean?  
I like to keep my nail polish bottles clear of dried polish so that they are easier to unscrew  :-)

If your lids get too caked with polish it can actually shorten their lifespan since air getting into it with turn it thick and gluggy

I really need to do this! I never have but am willing to try anything to prolong the life of my polishes. Do you just wipe it up with polish remover?

Haha, it's so nice to read that other people do this too ;)  I love getting in the grooves with a bobby pin and cleaning it all off - so satisfying in such a weird way!

I really should do that. I have lost a couple of really nice polishes in the past because they've dried up.

Considering how much Nail Polish I actually have I should have thought of doing this sooner. Thanks for the tip!!!

When there is noticeable buildup of product, yes!
Hi saird Sorry for the late reply.  Yes I just use a make up pad with nail polish remover and wrrap it around the neck of the bottle to clean  :-)

O I have a couple that need to be cleaned! Great idea thanks Keri xx
hahah  get scrubbing Crystal  :-) x

But make sure you don't have polish on your finger nails.  I painted fingers and toes last night and THEN cleaned some bottles.  I was over-zealous with nail polish remover on a make up pad and it bleed over on to my beautifully painted finger nails. :-(

Most of my polish is second hand except for treatments. So yes they probably are a bit messy but then I haven't painted my nails in awhile since I've been busy moving.
