4 Tips To Fix Your Thick And Clumpy Nail Polish

First, Give The Bottle A Good Shake

The first thing that you need to do is give the bottle of nail polish a good shake. Make sure that you shake it thoroughly, and that you turn the bottle completely upside down while you are shaking it to ensure that any clumps are dissolved and that anything that may have settled is blended once more.

After that, take the bottle in your palms and roll it back in forth for five or ten minutes. So long as your nail polish has not become too thick the heat from your hands may be able to thin it out considerably.

Mix Some Acetone Based Nail Polish Remover Into The Bottle

The second step is to add small amount of acetone based nail polish remover into the nail polish, and then shake the nail polish slightly to mix it around.

Be sure not to overdo it, as adding too much nail polish remover can ruin your nail polish and make it unusable. Just add one or two drops at first, and see how that works.

Mix In A Small Amount Of Orange Oil And Acetone

Next you can try adding a bit of orange oil and acetone to the nail polish. This has the side effect of making your nail polish smell fruity! Be sure to add equal amounts of each, and then mix them together before adding them to the nail polish. Shake, and then let it sit for at least ten minutes.

Test the bottle after at least ten minutes by taking the brush out of the bottle and seeing how thick the polish is. If it is still too thick, repeat the process until you are satisfied with the consistency.

Mix In A Small Amount Of Paint Thinner

As a last resort before giving up, you can try to thin your clumpy nail polish by using paint thinner. Look for ingredients like Butyl and Ethyl Acetate and Toluene on the label of any thinner you are considering.

You can find nail polish thinners available on the market, but paint thinner will work as well.
