Fixing thick nail polish is easy with a few household items. Simply add a few drops of acetone-based nail polish remover into the bottle. Close the lid tightly and shake well until the polish reaches a smoother consistency. If acetone isn’t available, you can try immersing the tightly sealed polish bottle in a cup of hot water for a few minutes, which can help loosen it up. These methods can save your polish without needing a specialized thinner.
