Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My review is entitled "Another one..." for two reasons: 1. I am also on the "what was the first reviewer thinking?" list. 2. I have found another product I know I can never live without. I recently ordered a lot of older, discontinued (or, as Essie.com states, "no longer available") Essie lacquers from Amazon. Since I knew they were older, I also knew some of them would be thicker than others. My solution: Seche Restore. The Restore is amazing. I use it every time I do my nails to thin the polish to go on smoother and thinner, as one review suggests. It did awesome thinning out 3 of the older Essie polishes (Blanc, Golden Nuggets, and Garnet). Here are general steps I used to gauge the amount of Restore to use: 1. Get a newer polish and just twist and pull the brush out of the polish. Watch how many drops of polish fall off within a few seconds. For example, I usually had 2 drop off within 5 seconds with a new, fresh bottle. 2. Compare that "drop time" with the bottle that needs restoring. My Essie Garnet, for example, had 1 drop fall off within 5 seconds. 3. Fill up a WHOLE STOPPER FULL of Restore and drop HALF into the Garnet / older polish. 4. Spin the Garnet between hands (shaking polish bottles introduces air into the polish which will cause bubbly nails, leading to chipping), for about 20-30 seconds, then check the consistency. 5. If it had 2 drops within 5 seconds, I knew I was good to go. If not, I added the other half of the stopper to the polished, and repeat step 4. That's what I've gathered from reading other reviews and from my own experiences. I hope that helps others that are unsure how to use this wonderful product! Happy manicures to everyone!!
