How do you fix your nail polish?

instead of being the liquid I bought, it's getting kinda gooey and hard to put on... blink.gif

any suggestions on how to fix it?...

or should I just buy a new one?

Your polish just got dried or is getting old.

Add a few drops of nail polish remover to the bottle and give it a good shake. You can continue adding polish remover till it's the right consistency but do it sparingly. Too much will make it apply on watery.

DON'T use nail polish remover! I tried using some with my (expensive) nail polish. It's a quick fix, but in the long run, your nail polish dries out even faster than before and leaves it more goopy and smelling like crap.

Instead, buy a nail polish thinner. But, since your nail polish wasn't even that expensive, you might as well buy a new one. You can use polish thinners for more expensive/hard-to-get polishes that you want to revive.

A few thinners:
