Shake it up

The spot might be a little ball that some companies put in the bottles to help to shake it better!

Well any nail polish can stain your nails if you don't put on a base coat.

Just looks like the polish separated. Roll the bottle between your hands. Don't shake, as that causes air bubbles.

Yeah it's just separated a bit. A lot of polishes do it, especially if they've been stored in a warmer environment, like under lights on a stand in a shop.

You just need to recombine the formula by rolling or gently shaking.

And yes, any polish will stain your nails but a basecoat will prevent that.

Yeah it's nothing to worry about, and definitely use a base coat

Just shake it and use a base coat before applying (applies for all polishes)

I would just say shake it a bit and see if that clears it up!

Thanks for all the input! At first I assumed it was just separated polish, but it didn't recombine and looks imbedded into the glass.. I was mostly worried if mold/etc. could have been in the bottle.

I don't think nail polish can mold, as there's nothing organic in the formulation and the chemical composition is pretty tough for anything to live in. It may be an imperfection in the glass from manufacture. I wouldn't worry about it, but it is your call. If you're concerned you can always exchange it for a new bottle.

I thought that would be the case, thanks for the advice!

No problem dear, happy to help. I was curious about it too after seeing the picture.
