HOW TO RESTORE OLD NAIL POLISH (Nail Polish 101) || KELLI MARISSA

[@jessicaross9075]

Whaaat?? My whole life I've been told that nail polish expires! I feel cheated! lol

The ingredient you want to avoid using with glitters is 'Heptane'. The Orly one is good - it's the same as the Sally's one in this video but without the Heptane. Hope that helps anyone who come across this comment thread! 💕 (I've seen a lot of comments concerning this point, so I thought I'd just throw in up here in case it saves anyone some time!)

[@vidyaarvind4458]

Doesn't old nail polish start yellowing the nails?

[@JadenYukifan28]

​@@vidyaarvind4458Actually, what makes your nails yellow is how long you are wearing the Nail Polish among other reasons.

[@vidyaarvind4458]

@@JadenYukifan28 Usually, when exposed to water and chores, most non gel nail polishes start chipping within a week and need to positively be removed by the 7th or 8th day or even sooner depending on the brand, to avoid chipped nails looking tacky. But with thinned out nail polish, nails could turn yellow due to addition of thinner.

[@JadenYukifan28]

@@vidyaarvind4458 I've never had that problem at all, I once decided to not wear a Base Coat under my nail polish and my nails were stained yellow. It has to do with what you are wearing and what you aren't wearing.

[@jackierosenfeld2663]

Just a quick note! At 5:32 you refer to the thinner as remover. I'm sure no one is going to get too confused, but just in case!

[@KelliMarissa]

+mandas677 oh that's interesting, I haven't heard that but I also never put it in glitter since I use a sponge to apply it. I'll have to do some research!

[@jaykb6587]

Thanks for this tip. I use the Sallys thinner on my glitters ( I never knew there were different formulas for different types of polishes), and when I come back to use that polish again, it's like Kelly's silver. I will try Orly's.

[@Tasoq]

Is the Orly one good with non-glitter polishes too?

Tasoq yes and your polishes will remain 5 free and cruelty free if that's something you desire.

Hi Kelli, just found your vids, and as a licensed cosmetologist and former artistic director I have to tell you how impressed I am with your nail 101 vids. Especially this one. I have a discontinued OPI color I love that is like goopy Elmer’s glue now, wwwaaaahhhhh! I did not want to throw it away, and now I don’t have to. Duh on my part! I should have known about this thinner product. But then I’ve been out of the business for decades now and I’ve forgotten some things. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll pick some up next time I’m at cosmo prof or sally. Blessings to you!

[@KelliMarissa]

Hey Rita, I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos! I think it’s pretty interesting that enthusiasts (like me) have different knowledge from actual licensed cosmetologists/nail techs. I’m always learning from my licensed followers and sometimes they learn a new trick from me too haha! It works out pretty well.

I bought the same sally nail polish thinner. you need to be VERY careful with this stuff. Some got on my hands and I had a very nasty chemical burn!

[@KelliMarissa]

Hey Evelyn! You might be allergic to one of the ingredients - I would consult with your doctor ASAP before using again. I’ve gotten it on my hands before with no issues.

[@ESNYC703]

Thanks for sharing that you had no issues. I'll check the ingredients more closely.

[@JadenYukifan28]

My advice is wear gloves when handling that Polish Thinner, so you don't get it on your skin, Evelyn......

[@crystalmcdonald8808]

I would try an eye dropper then

[@MsButterflysting]

As the others said you might be allergic, use gloves or in combo with a dropper. I'm highly allergic to the eye drop medication my kids needed for an eye infection they had. The doctor initially said get someone else to apply them! Good luck in finding out the reason why you were reacting so badly.

[@refinnej5302]

I don't understand how people still think it works. the thinner is so so so much better.

[@KelliMarissa]

+Etta Jurima oh no that sounds like an awful experience :( I don't understand it either, I guess most people who suggest it haven't tried it!!

Try adding clear nail polish of the same brand and see if it fixes nail polish(use a cheap nail polish if you don't want to ruin a good nail polish if it doesn't end up working). I don't have the nail polish thinner so I'm wondering if this will work as a replacement for the nail polish thinner...

I am SO glad you said using acetone is only going to ruin your polish as I was waiting for you to say that's what you use to thin it. Yes I confess I came here ready to thumbs down! In their defense, using acetone is ok for one last use when you don't have a thinner handy but you better be prepared to throw out the polish because it's ruined now, mate! Anyway, I hope your boss was thrilled and you can tell her that she's probably inspired a lot of people to get that silver polish! P.S. I have 4 different thinners since nothing is ever simple any more. T_T

[@KelliMarissa]

+Kalleesto hahaha I appreciate your honesty! I'm definitely sick of people saying that acetone works as a long term solution, so I understand your frustration :P And that's wild haha you have more thinner than me! I just have one for me three free polishes (that I used in this video) and then one with toluene for older polishes (which to be honest, I never use!)

[@Kalleesto]

Yeah it sucks - I have 3-Free, 5-Free, 7-Free and 0-Free (lol). Luckily I have no 9-Free polishes so I don't have to worry about that. Yes I have a lot of polish. Help? Thanks for your response! :D

[@paulacurran3091]

I love this video and so happy to find this information. I have always used nail polish remover, knowing I was damaging the polish in the process but trying to extend favourite colours. I was getting extensions for many years but just recently started doing my own nails again. Found one of my old Revlon formulas that I just LOVE, but it is thick and clumpy. I wrote to Revlon and the colour is discontinued. So sad...but now I know how to restore the little I have left. Thank you so much.

Be careful by "hitting" the bottle in the palm of your hand. I always did that my whole life... up to that day where the bottle burst and the nail polish was all over the place.

I almost forgot the incident till I saw it in the video!!

I have used denatured (not isopropyl) alcohol without any issues in the past, but nail polish thinner is still the best option. I have also added BB's (as in BB gun - so much cheaper than buying the beads labeled specifically for nail polish) to bottles that don't have mixing beads as to help mix the thinner into polishes that are glue-like. It helps to break the "goop" up. Kelli... If you see this. I very much enjoy your videos. SO UPBEAT AND FUN. The descriptives of color, finish, and special features are SO SPOT ON.

Just saying, don't write it like is a unique solution You just bought a product for that specific thing

[@selahisrael6377]

Thanks sooo much. I have color that i LOVE and refused to throw away not knowing what exactly i would do with em but NOW im glad i kept them

[@KelliMarissa]

Ahh I'm so happy I could help!

[@Tasoq]

I've seen so many people online saying to add acetone/nail polish remover to old polishes to fix them but I was scared to do that due to what it actually does. Thanks for sharing this :) (also I love your hair)

[@KelliMarissa]

+Tasoq haha I'm so glad you didn't do it! It will definitely eventually ruin your polish :/ and thank you so so much!

[@teganlittle9878]

At first i thought this was a SimplyNailogical video... Then i saw on the thumbnail that the nail polish wasnt holo.

[@KelliMarissa]

+tegan little girl you know she doesn't do nail videos ever :P LOL

[@shaniceball240]

Hi Kellie. I just wanted to ask, do you know if Nail Polish Thinner can be used in mirror nail polish too?

[@aleeradoblah9010]

That was awesome.. swear your channel is the best to watch for newbies.. I learn so much from you.. and you make me bust up.. good vid

[@KelliMarissa]

+Aleera DoBlah ah this makes me so happy to hear Aleera!!! :) :)

[@kwillette1701]

I’ve been using the same brand nail polish thinner for years and I love it. I always have it on hand and it does last forever. A few drops and you’re good as new!

[@KelliMarissa]

It's so good! I still have the same bottle from this video lol!

[@karenbenavente1430]

I loved the white polish with the pinky coppery shadows! Totally 😎 they looked great on you!💓

[@tami8863]

I heard once that if you thin a polish out a lot it chips more easily, do you think that's true? Always love these nail polish 101 videos!

[@KelliMarissa]

+Tami I haven't had that happen to me!! I'm glad you enjoy them :)

[@kimmiann5690]

Kelli.. thank you so much for making this. I destroyed so many polishes try to restore them with acetone. I just saved around 15 bottles of polish, averaging around $5 each. The thinner was about $5. I saved $75 restoring old goopy polishes. Including the price of thinner, I saved a total of around $70. I seriously owe you for helping me save them!!

[@kimmiann5690]

I was also able to save my favorite blood orange polish which was about 7 years old & discontinued. I'm so excited to use it again. :-)

[@KelliMarissa]

+kimmi ann oh my gosh Kimmi this is awesome to hear!! Im SO glad you were able to save all those polishes (and all that money!) and get to use some loved colors again :)

[@triplenegativepositive3727]

Perfect timing!!! I find my neons like to get thick faster than my other polishes and I just tossed a couple last week. But after seeing this, I can salvage a few that I was really not wanting to part with.

[@shaniceball240]

One of my favourite nail polishes has completely dried solid and so has the brush!! Can nail polish thinner work for completely solid polish and restore the brush too?

[@KelliMarissa]

I think it's worth trying but it might be tough! You'll probably have to use a lot.

[@shaniceball240]

@@KelliMarissa okay, thank you!

[@shaniceball240]

@@KelliMarissa hi Kelli! I just wanted to ask, where did you get the nail polish thinner from?

[@KelliMarissa]

Shanice Ball I buy it from Sally Beauty

[@shaniceball240]

@@KelliMarissa okay, thank you!

[@seeress83]

I did not know that nail polish thinner was a thing that existed, but I hit up Sally's today and got a bottle. And just saved two of my absolute favorite polishes from Hot Topic that they don't make anymore! Thanks!

[@KelliMarissa]

+Jessica Godwin ahh that's awesome Jessica I'm so glad you were able to find it and use it!

[@jeanylowe399]

Thanks for the information. Did not know there was a thinner. Heading to Sally’s Beauty soonest to get some.

Thanks this helped so much bc my black nail polish was almost empty and all clumpy and you helped me out thanks!!

[@Tazbocat]

I watch 100's of nail videos and by far this was the most informative and valuable video!!! I am always buying new Polish because it gets all goopy. I am going today to buy this stuff!! thank you so much!!!

[@KelliMarissa]

+Tazbocat I'm so so happy you found this video helpful :) you're going to love the nail polish thinner!!

[@MoniqueVanRey]

Happy I found this video was about to use nail polish remover to fix nail polish and now ordering nail thinner! Thank you !!!!!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yes always happy to help (and happy to keep you from accidentally destroying a polish haha!!)

[@JoJo-rp1uc]

Your awesome. I just recently started doing my own manicures and I love it. Don't know what to me this long. And it lasts waaay longer than the salon. tfs

[@KelliMarissa]

+Joan Rodriguez thanks so much Joan! I agree, I've never understood why people will pay so much money so frequently to go to the salon when it's so much cheaper and more fun at home!!

[@DulceAmada]

Wow, never knew about this. You got yourself a new subscriber and a like! Now I can restore my older polishes.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yay, welcome to my channel! I'm glad I could help you out :)

[@mandicoleman7433]

Awesome video... tfs ur knowledge 😉. Glad I stumbled onto it!!! Should u put any thinner n bottles where the color has separated?

[@KelliMarissa]

I’d give them a good shake and check the consistency first - if they’re thick, go ahead and add thinner! Sometimes they separate because the color gets so thick and solid, thinner would definitely help.

[@mandicoleman7433]

Kelli Marissa thanks 😉

[@saniyafereira03]

Thanks Kelli, it was such a bummer for me to throw my fav nail polishes when they get sticky n old but now i know the way to fix them. Thank you so much.......

[@KelliMarissa]

Happy I could help :)
