Nail Polish: Finish Those Bottles

I keep seeing people posting their "pan that pan" posts about finishing eyeshadows and so thought seeing as its a new year I could attempt at finishing some bottles of polish. I went through my collection and picked out 10 bottles to aim to finish in 2025 and marked the fill lines;

OPI Alpine Snow // OPI Ornament to be Together // Leighton Denny Girl's Best Friend // Nail Kind Moroccan Sunrise // ELF Copper // W7 Fluorescent Green // Nails Inc Baker Street // Leighton Denny Falling Stars // OPI Feel the Chemis-tree // OPI Holidazed Over You

My bottle of OPI Alpine Snow was from December 2018 which I used up and the full sized bottle I'm using up is from December 2019.

OPI Ornament to be Together is a mini from the advent calendar 2017, I also have the full size of this so want to use up the mini.

A full sized bottle of Leighton Denny Girl's Best Friend I got this during December 2014.

Nail Kind Moroccan Sunrise is the most recent to my collection from December 2023 to come into the finish the bottle challenge.

ELF Copper is the oldest polish in the challenge, from before August 2010. The formula on this may have changed so it doesn't dry properly but need to wear it to test it out more.

W7 Fluorescent Green is from 2012, a neon pearlescent polish. It is very strongly scented and so want it used up.

Nails Inc Baker Street was from December 2016, its in the older design bottle and I have dupes the same as this.

Leighton Denny Falling Stars was from the QVC auto delivery in December 2015.

OPI Feel the Chemis-tree was another mini from the 2017 advent calendar, I also have the full sized bottle of this.

The final polish is OPI Holidazed Over You, another from the 2017 advent calendar.
