I have several bottles of fingernail polish that I love, but the polish is
getting thicker with time. Can I dilute it with nail polish remover and
thin it down or will that make it disappear... as in 'removed'? VBG Or is
there another way to thin it down so I can keep using it? It's getting so
thick that it almost brushes on in a clump.

I've done that before Leslie and actually it's more trouble than it's worth.
Doesn't really hold up well.

Leslie,
You need nail polish thinner, not remover. A good store for cosmetics should
have it, or you can order online.

Yes, get nail polish thinner. I picked up my last bottle at Walgreen's.
Polish Remover can make the enamel separate or clump and it keeps it from
setting up on your nails. Start out adding only a few drops at a time or you
can end up with a glaze instead of a paint. The other thing I do is drop a
few BBs or glass, NOT plastic, little beads in the bottle of polish. It will
help mix it up much easier. Some nail polish comes with a BB or two already
in it but if it's glumped up and thick you might just want a little more
agitation when you shake it with the thinner.

how long have you had them? I mean, if it's pretty new such that it
really shouldn't have gone thick, it's worth stropping at the manager
in the store where you bought it. On the other hand if it's really old
then it's unlikely to work and not worth the time or the shaking. If
it's somewhere in the middle and you really love it and you can't buy
it any more then give it a try, but honestly, I think I'd just buy new
polish. I've found that it's the brands that are supposed to be one
coat, or something else fancy that seem to go thick, regular nail
polish, as long as you be sure to put the top on tight and shake it
each time seems to last a fair time, the polish I wore on my wedding
day almost 6 years ago is still very useable, it's a good brand, OPI,
they use it in salons, but it's not an expensive polish.
Cheers
