Description

Naturally over time nail polish can thicken or become "stringy". This is typically due to the evaporation of the two main ingredients in all nail lacquers: Butyl Acetate and Ethyl Acetate, which help the polish dry down on your nail.

To restore thickened polish, you can try adding a nail polish thinner made of those two main ingredients.

For slightly thickened polish: Start with 2-3 drops, shake well, then check the consistency. Repeat until you are happy with the result.
For dried out or severely thickened polish: Try filling the bottle with thinner up to the fill line, let it sit overnight, and then shake very well the next day. If it is still not mixing well, you can try to use a toothpick or paperclip to stir, allowing the thinner to cut through the dried polish and reach the bottom of the bottle.

Important Notes: Be sure to clean any polish off the neck of your bottles after use - this helps ensure a good seal of the cap and prevents excessive evaporation over time.

Glitter polish/topper bases are intentionally thicker than regular polishes. Adding too much thinner can reduce the suspension properties of the base and cause glitters to sink. Always start with 2-3 drops and only use what is needed to restore polish to its original consistency.
