Overview & background
A nail polish bottle is a small, precise dispensing system. The cap doubles as the handle for a brush that reaches the bottom of the vial, and a wiper insert in the neck strips excess lacquer from the brush as it is withdrawn, so the user picks up a clean, controlled amount of polish each time.
The heavy base is functional: nail polish is applied with the bottle standing on a surface, so a wide, weighted base keeps it from tipping while both hands are busy.
