01
Why the pipe objects
Nail polish contains solvents and resins that can coat plumbing and may be ignitable or hazardous as waste.
02
Do this instead
Keep the bottle closed and take unwanted polish to an accepting household-hazardous-waste program.
03
Already did it?
Do not mix in another product or attempt to neutralize it. Ventilate if the label directs, keep people and pets away, and call your local wastewater or hazardous-waste authority.
