Add some acetone to finish cleaning out all polish residue. Add the lid on tightly. Shake this around for about a minute, to lift off any remains and pick up the last of the nail polish. This will also clean the brush. Tip into the container, then dispose of the container properly.

Only use non-toxic cleaners on the brush if the brush is to be reused on your body, although even if it’s just for craft use, non-toxic is a good idea. If you don’t need the brush but you do need the lid, such as for one of the storage options, simply snap the brush off at the highest point possible and dispose of it.
