Thinner at Sally's is only $4.29 unless you have a card, then it is $3.79 for an 8 ounce bottle! I even use this in my Seche Vite top coat and my Nail Tek base coat. Saving one bottle of those is worth way more than 4 bucks. To temporarily thin you can also run running hot water from the tap over the bottle of polish. It can get you through one mani. Never use Polish Remover. The thinner replaces the ingredients in the polish that made it the right thickness, before it evaporated. Always cap your polish tightly. Remover removes, thinner thins.

It worked for me

It can work for a bit; then often the nature of the polish just changes.

I use Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food to fix my glitters.  It's awesome.

Thanks Christa! I would think there's a product out there and now I know what it's called. Rock star!

That stuff is like magic! I love that it seems to help the glitters suspend more as well, rather than settling. I'd love to know what's in it.

I don't have any advice on thinning out your current top coat, but I can suggest a couple of good quick dry top coats that I like. My favorite is Out the Door and I got it on Amazon. The other is Seche Vite which I believe I found on Ebay. OTD is the one I use the most, and I use SV in a pinch.
