If you want to mix different color nail polishes to make the best possible color match, DO NOT use plastic bottles/containers! The nail polish will usually eat right through the plastic. It might not be right away either. You might find a nasty mess a few days later. Use glass bottles.
Didn't Diane warn you? :lol:

Once I used nail polish remover to clean some stray brish strokes of silver off of a model car on which I was painting in the chrome and stainless trim on the sides. Imagine my surprise a few days later when the model literally disintegrated at the slightest touch. :-(
