Ways to store nail polish:
We all make the mistake of storing our nail polish in our bathrooms. This is actually one of the worst places to store your nail polish, as it needs to be stored in a cool, dry place. Make sure to keep it away from sunlight and at a normal room temperature. Humid temperatures, like those in your bathroom, cause the oils to collect on the top of the polish layer.
One of the places you can store polish that might be more effective is your bedroom. It’s best in a place that’s cool and dry, where it’s unaffected by harsh temperatures or sunlight. It’s also important to keep your nail polish standing upright and organized neatly. When you’re ready to use your polish, you can slightly warm it with the heat of your hands for best results.
How to store nail polish remover:
Properly storing nail polish remover is essential to maintain its effectiveness and prevent potential hazards. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, such as radiators or stoves, as excessive heat can cause the remover to evaporate or become volatile. Store the bottle tightly closed to prevent leaks or spills, and ideally in an upright position to avoid accidental contact with the liquid. It’s also important to store nail polish remover out of reach of children and pets, as the chemicals can be harmful if ingested or mishandled. For added safety, keep it in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes, and ensure that it’s placed in a cabinet or drawer away from any open flames, as the remover is highly flammable.
If you;re interested in a nail polish remover that doesn’t have the same toxic chemicals or risk of hazard, Sundays Grapefruit Peel Polish Remover is equally effective and much safer for your home and hands. We still recommend storing it upright in a cool, dry place.

How to keep nail polish from drying out
Again the first step to preventing your nail polish from drying out is to keep it in a cool, dark area. Also make sure that the cap is screwed on tightly, so no air is coming in. When applying your nail polish, make sure that you close the bottle after doing each hand and waiting for your mani to dry. While you wait for it to dry, take a minute to screw the cap on.
Additionally, once a week, you can take a minute to warm up the polish bottle between your hands, in a rubbing motion. Also, take some nail polish remover and clean up the residual polish that collects around the nail polish neck.
How to store cuticle oil and quick-dry oil
When it comes to Sundays cuticle oils and quick-dry oil, we recommend to again store them in a cool, dry place. Make sure they are well sealed to prevent air entering the bottles and causing the formula to evaporate.
Just like the other products, we recommend they be stored them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as heat and sunlight can degrade the natural oils and ingredients, affecting their performance.
