Hi Lauren, thank you for the recipe. FYI there are pump bottles specifically made for this application or similar I have a few and the Walmart brand of polish remover now comes in a pump bottle which is reusable. I also found some at the Dollar Tree but not sure if it was a one time deal or not.
pump bottle for nail polish
I actually bought the dollar tree pump bottles your talking about. I was so excited I thought this is gonna be great for not only polish remover but face toner too. I make my own toner but anyway...my point 😞 they don't work. The pump sticks really bad an no matter what I tried or what was in the bottle, they just didn't work. Bummer (I know) better off paying a lil more and getting quality pump bottle from Amazon. Just a heads up so u don't waste ur money.
