How to THIN OUT your nail polish ?

Don't you hate it when you go to apply a coat of nail polish, and the polish has gotten so thick and sticky that it can't be applied without looking like your manicure was done by a first grader?
This usually occurs as your nail polish gets older.

Have no fear! There is a cure..


What you need to have around:
> Nail polish
> Acetone
> Eyedropper or something similar

Instructions:

1) Get the nail polish you want to save and stir it well.

2) With the eyedropper, add a little of acetone into the nail polish bottle, drop by drop. Shake it well after each drop. (I advise you to put up to 3 drops)

3) Test the nail polish after each drop, until you get the desired result. The level of thickness and stickyness, determines the amount of drops you will have to put in.


Tips to consider:

- Keep the nail polish away from the heat, this is the first reason why your nail polish is thick and sticky.

- Becareful with the amount of drops you put, because it might remove the natural shine of the nail polish. Do not exagerate in the thiness of the polish.

- Do not shake the nail polish from the top down, but rub your hands around the bottle like if you were trying to warm it.
