Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)
Can you thin nail polish with nail polish remover?
Short answer then: don’t use acetone nail polish remover to thin your polish. Nail Polish Thinner is the answer. By adding nail polish thinner to your sticky little bottle of colour, you’re replacing the solvent that’s evaporated.

The Hot Water Fix Here’s how to thin nail polish with items you already have at home: Immerse your bottle of goopy polish under hot water. Place the bottle under running water, or fill a bowl with very hot water and set the bottle of nail polish inside it.
How do you fix clumpy nail polish without acetone?
If you don’t have access to acetone or a polish thinner and are in need of a quick fix, try adding a few drops of hot water. The reality is, no matter how much you shake, warm and thin your polish, it will clump eventually.
How do you keep nail polish from thickening?
Here are some ways to care for your polishes and prevent them from getting too thick:
- Store the bottle in a cool dark place with a consistent temperature that’s not too hot or cold.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat as most formulas are flammable.
- Store the bottle upright in the shelf or drawer.

What happens if I mix nail polish and water?
They don’t mix readily, just like oil (another organic) and water don’t mix. When you drop the nail polish into the water, it won’t mix because of the above. Additionally, because the organics tend to have low surface tensions (don’t clump together), the polish spreads out over the surface of the water.
What happens when nail polish is mixed with water?
Nail varnish does not dissolve in water because the water particles are not attracted to the nail varnish particles. They remain clumped together and we can still see the nail varnish in the water. We say that the nail varnish is insoluble in water and has formed a suspension.
