As much as you hate to come to terms with it, that favorite color of nail polish might need to be discarded. Even if you can’t find the exact shade you’ve had since high school because they do not make it anymore, it still needs to go.
Ladies love their nails. They make our hands look elegant and feminine, and we like them to be healthy and pretty.
However, a lot of girls make the mistake of not getting rid of those bottles of polish when they need to. Here are 7 signs it’s time to get rid of that polish.
