I find that I can only use half a bottle of nailpolish before it gets too thick and clumpy to apply a coat. Even if I just bought the polish 2 weeks ago and it started out perfect, it ends up too thick to finish off and has to be thrown out. I assume it's from the repeated dabbing in and out of the brush, or something like that.
Is it possible to add a drop or two of water or something to get back the consistency it first had? Is there a brand of nail polish that is more resistant to clumping? Any advice??
Answer
DO NOT add water. It will not work. Use nail polish thinner. If you use nail polish remover, it ruins the quality of the product and it will wear off or peel away from the nail faster. If you don't want to buy thinner, try a bit of clear nail polish from a new bottle.
Do this: Once you open the bottle, put a very thin coating of petroleum jelly on the outside of the rim. That will keep the nail polish from crusting up on the rim, which causes air to get into the bottle, causing the drying out. You can also keep your polish in a cool place. I have heard you can keep it in the refridgerator.
Never shake the bottle before applying polish. It creates bubbles. Turn the bottle upside down and roll between the palms of your hands. Fast drying nail polishes thicken and clump up faster than the slower drying ones. If you use slower drying ones, get a fast dry topcoat like Out the Door.
When you apply the polish, one sweep down the middle of the nail and then apply one sweep to either side of the nail to finish the coat. Don't overload the brush, because then it will not go on evenly and will not dry evenly. This is where you get smudges.
It isn't always the quality of the nail polish, it is how it is stored after use. I have cheap stuff as well as expensive and doing these simple steps prolong the life of my polish. I must say, however the type of brush makes a big difference in application. The Loreal nail polishes work very well because of their new brush.

Answer
First of all you need to buy {Acetone} polish remover.
Make sure it does not say non-acetone!
Things You'll Need:
* Plastic garbage bag
* Acetone polish remover
* Petroleum jelly
* Nail buffer
* Nail clippers
* Glass bowl
1} Find a good work area where you can sit down and be comfortable. A kitchen table works perfectly for this. Be sure to cover the surface of your table with a plastic garbage bags and a thick layer of newspaper to soak up spills and prevent damage to your tableâs surface.
2} Using a pair of nail clippers, cut the acrylic nails down as short as possible to make the removal easier.
3} Fill a glass bowl with nail polish remover (the type with acetone in it). This will be used to soak your nails in and dissolve the nail glue which attached your acrylic nails to your natural ones.
4} Before dunking your nails apply a coating of petroleum jelly to the skin surrounding your nails. This will help prevent the skin from drying out while soaking in the polish remover. Just be sure you donât get any on the nail or it will block the polish remover from loosening the glue.
5} Dip your fingers into the bowl of nail polish remover and continue to soak them for 15-20 minutes.
6} Remove your hands and try to gently peel the acrylic nails off. If you are met with resistance and any or all of the acrylic nails do not easily peel off, submerge your fingers in the polish remover again and soak for another five minutes. Never force a nail to come off if itâs not ready.
7} After re-soaking you should be able to remove any stubborn acrylic nails and will now be left with only your natural nails.
8} Thoroughly was your hands in order to remove any polish remover residue and the petroleum jelly.
9} If any of the nail glue remains on your nails, simply buff this off with a nail buffer. Be gentle and use a light touch to avoid damaging your natural nails.
10} Apply a moisturizing hand cream to your hands and massage in well. This will help replace any lost moisture from the acetone polish remover.
