    Nail polish never expires. It's good forever and never "goes bad". If it gets thick and goopy, this does NOT mean it is bad. It may mean it's old or the formula was poor or it had been left open or a number of things. But ultimately, it becomes goopy and thick because certain ingredients in the polish evaporate. They just simply need to be replaced with nail polish THINNER (never ever ever ever use remover to thin your polish!! It can destroy it). Add a few drops of thinner to the bottle and it's as good as new! This is the thinner I use:

    It's super cheap and totally worth it. Seriously. And it works on ANY polish - top coats, base coats, polish.
