What Happens If You Wear Old Nail Polish?

Written by Tara

The FDA does not designate the shelf life of nail polishes, instead they leave it up to the companies. Typically a nail polish can last from 18 to 24 months if they are kept in a cool dark place. You can however use the nail polish LONGER than 24 months if it has not gone bad.

The bottom line is that nail polish does not expire in the sense that they become spoiled or harmful when in use. They just become thick, gloopy, and dry, which makes them difficult to use.

Generally How old can nail polish be? It’s typically 12M or 24M for polishes in my experience, so 12 months/24 months after opening, the product should be discarded. Make a note of the date opened, and when it’s reached this date it should be thrown away.
