    Hi my OPI quick dry nail polish brush is a mess - the brissles are all matted together - how do I fix it?
    I do not know how it happened? Maybe I used it on nail varnish that was not fully dry?

    The bottle is nearly full so really wanna resolve this.

    Thanks in advance

    I've 'washed' clumped up brushes with nail polish remover before, squeezing off the excess with a clean tissue afterwards. It works well. Hope you get sorted!

    Oh I'm not sure, I usually use a remover that contains acetone but the pure stuff could be too strong and just 'melt' the brush... can't advise, sorry!

    I've tried the nail polish remover trick before and it didn't work for me.
    I find it tends to happen with varnishes I've had a long time that I don't use.

    leave it soaking in nail polish remover for a little bit to shift it. or just use the brush from another polish? just wipe it down with remover first so you dont transfer any colour over

    i tried using another brush and it wrecked it

    but i brought it back to boots to ask them what to do with it and they gave me a new one - thats customer service

    i did buy it there, but the outcome was not what i had in mind

    delighted
