To remedy this, nail polish thinner is added to replace the evaporated ingredients and return your product back to its original form. You can find basic thinner at any drugstore or beauty supply shop. To use, add 5-10 drops to your nail polish bottle and shake vigorously. Check the consistency and repeat if necessary. Never use remover or acetone to thin your polish.
