Okay. I discovered I'm kinda of a nail polish hoarder. I was looking through my nail polish and realized that about 20 of them are probably around two years old. Does nail polish have an expiration date? Should I throw these away?

Throw away the clumpy ones! every time to polish hits air it gets less and less runny. making it less and less easy to use. I would just check the consistency of all of them. then toss the ones that wouldn't be useful to use anyways.

If the nail polishes are clumpy but you still wanna keep them, try using nail polish thinner. ( if you don't have any you can use nail polish remover) but if they're not clumpy I wouldn't throw them out.

I have some thatre like 10 years old but they're still good. Just when they get gooey and clumpy you should pitch them.

You may be able to salvage some by putting nail polish thinner. it depends on how thick they are tho.
