When nail polishes thicken

[itzmarylicious]

What do you do??? I rarely paint my nails during the semester so when i buy a bottle of nail polish it gets thick really fast even though i rarely open the bottle and i put it in the refridgerator. How can i save my nail polish???

what brand are you using?

i've heard you can add a little bit of non-acetone nail polish remover to it and shake it up .. and it thins it out.. i'm not completely sure though.

 

[Aprill]

me too, but just a little

i never thought of putting it in the fridge, what does that do for it?

It kind of worked for me when I tried it, but I found it easier to just buy it new!

I just use nailpolish thinner.

When that happens, I throw them away. You can buy nail polish thinner, but it sometimes thins the polish too much. I think everyone goes through this, especially if you buy lots of polish.

I think puttin nail polish thinner removes the gloss from the nail polish.

If u use banana oil this won't happen. It works really well.

where can i buy banana oil? is it expensive? and how much do i put?

I use Essie mostly and some OPI. I put them in the refridgerator b/c it makes them last longer and doesnt get thick as fast.

U can get it at an beauty store..places that sells manicure stuff should have it. And nope it's not expensive.

I've used non acetone remover to thin polish. It worked for me.

Or sometimes, if you have a matte or pearl color, you can add a little clear nail polish to get it moving again and still preserve the shine.

Adding polish remover to it will make it thinner for like 2 days, but afterwards it makes the polish become all gross.... Get some nail polish thinner.. OPI makes one... but there are cheaper ones out there as well...
