How to open bottle of nail varnish?

Can anyone suggest any ideas on how to open a bottle of nail varnish. 3/4 full and top is jammed on.

Thanks

    Have you tried dropping it in a jug of hot water?

    Run the lid under very hot running water.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    Hurrah...now don't smudge it :D

    I was looking through my nail varnish collection and found 2 that I was given for my 18th birthday...........nearly 12 years ago :eek: .. they are flourescent green and flourescent pink...... would anyone like them? :D (they may need dropping in boiling water ;) )

    ........and now that you've managed to open it, smear vaseline on the screw thread to make it easy to open next time.;) I like your avatar.:cool:

    Before anyone asks, no thanks, not even the pink, I don't do nail varnish! :D

    For the OP: wrapping an elastic band round a lid which won't budge is another tip. Wedging it in a door hinge can work but doesn't usually do the paintwork any good ...
