Just wondering. I'm getting into polish now that I've found a good base that helps my polish last. I don't think I've finished any. The farthest I've gotten on any bottle is half way through.
I think I have only finished a gold, black and a white one! Those are the colors which I use(d) the most:). If base and top coats count: at least 10 together (mostly OPI). That's because I use a few layers of top coat after each manicure and I do my nails very often:) xx
I have finished many polishes, but I tend to mix them..I mean when i have two bottles that are half full, I would mix the two together and voila, I have a new colour! Have been doing this for years and it works really well most of the time!
At last count my collection was over four hundred and I rarely use a polish more then once. They are all my favs(lol) but theres just not enough time to duplicate.
I've finished alot of top coats but of actual nail polish i dont think i've ever FINISHED a bottle I just throw them out when they get old and i can't use them anymore. (If you want your nail polish to last longer,put some nail polish remover in them when you see them start to get sticky)
I don't think I've ever finished any either... I used to just toss them when they got old but I bought a polish thinner for when they get thick/clumpy & now they last forever... I'll pass my collection on to my unborn daughter lol

When I get half-way on a bottle I usually pass it along to my daughter who then finishes off the bottle completely.
