Great Nail Polish Thinner - Restores Old Clumpy Polish Into Silky New Polish!
I purchased this nail polish thinner for my mother in law - her favorite nail polish was discontinued in the early 90s and I've luckily been able to find her several bottles off of eBay -- however, because its is old it can get a bit thick, so I got this nail polish thinner for her to help with this problem. The only thing I wish that this nail polish thinner came with was an eye dropper or a pipette but for the price, that is okay. I have also used this nail polish thinner to help with the thickening of some older polishes that have gotten a bit globby -- simply add a few drops to the bottle ... wait a couple seconds ... then roll the bottle in between your hands if you are going to use the polish shortly or shake the bottle if you do not plan on using it immediately or right away. If a few drops does not work ... simply add a few more drops ... wait about 10 seconds ... then proceed to shake away until you hear the small ball bearings inside beat against the wall of the nail polish. Be careful to only add a couple of drops at at time as you don't want to make the nail polish you are trying to thin out too watery or useless. The nail polish thinner does have a strong odor, but then again it is a chemical, just be sure to use it in a well ventilated area and be sure to put the cap back on immediately. I would highly recommend that you do not use this nail polish thinner on a wood table or anything with a lacquer or finish on it - it will eat away at it immediately. Use this over a sink or put several towels that you do not care about down - just be very careful! Just like you would be very careful with acetone nail polish - use the same caution with the thinner.
This thinner will help you to save money and keep your old polish just like new! It really helped to make old polish or polish that I hadn't completely tightened the lid on smooth and creamy again (almost like new but nothing is exactly like new). After using this thinner in one of my favorite polishes I was able to put up to three semi-thin coats of nail polish on my nails and they have looked really great for nearly a week and it has not begun to chip. The thinner came in a heavy glass bottle and there is plenty to last quite a long time. Overall I am very pleased with this thinner - I highly recommend it and once I run out, I will definitely purchase it again.
