Can You Use Nail Polish Remover as a Thinner?

Remover often makes the polish worse over time.


What Should You Use Instead?


A nail polish thinner is made to fix polish without hurting it. It has ingredients like those, in the polish so it helps keep the texture, color and performance. A few drops can make your polish smooth again.


Quick Tip

  • Close the bottle tightly after use


  • Store it in a dry place
