This hot water trick. Really helped me, just in time too. I was supposed to go out to dinner with my boyfriend and it was a half hour before i had to go. I tried going to my dad and my brother for help on opening my nail poilsh (that was going to be my last resort) but then I went online and found this cool trick. It seems the hot water takes off all the oil from your hands you put on the cap and makes the top less slippery. Amazing!

It works! I heated up a cup of water in the microwave 1.30 and put the cap in the water…wa la! it only took about 1 minute and it opened!Thanks for the HOW TO!

Check out http://www.jaropener.com. They sell a jar opener that will open anything. I use it for nail polish and it works fine. You can see reviews on Amazon. Just search for jar opener, it’s the EzOff one.

another way you can do it is take a extra strong band aid and wrap it arownd the lid and it acts as a grip and you don’t have to take it of. funny story of how i got that, i was painting my nails and i could not open my nail polish my feet where geting hot so i took of my slipers and i brout my hand up to paint agen and there was bloud on my hand so i whent to get a band aid for my foot grabing the “extra strenth” i tryed to locate the cut but then relized it was on my hand (i was not thinking) so got a smaller band aid but allredy opend the other one so stuck it on the bottle just because when i came back i tryed to open the bottle and voila it opened now befor saying good bye i would like to say you just wasted 5 minits on my story that had no meaning
so bye

Oh my sweet Jesus! It has been years since I got to use my favorite shade that I refused to throw away. Thank you so much for this obvious (duh) but elusive tip. Thankfully the polish is still good. Now my Essie Mucho Dinero and I have been reunited. So happy!
