In reply to Kellie. Unfortunately it's much harder to find nail polish thinner here in Australia, and when you do find it it's $20 for 2 oz which is ridiculous!

You can get a 4 oz bottle of Beauty Secrets nail polish thinner for $4 at Sallys and it will last you a very long time. I would NEVER put nail polish remover and especially not acetone in my nail polish.

[…] getting thick and gluggy, you can purchase nail polish thinner to restore the original texture (don’t use nail polish remover to thin your polishes unless you’re certain the ingredient…). Additionally, nail polish can become vintage and sell for megabucks on eBay – if it’s […]

Thanks! Very nicely written.

I have used remover before and it worked, but the drying takes literally days... ethyl acetate is unfortunately here not as easy available, you need to be a professional of whatever profession ...papers needed, if you are looking for the solvent as such... but maybe as a glue for models, I found :-)

A blog friend told me her bottle exploded, when she mixed an old polish with acetone and was shaking it... how could that happen? O_o

Unfortunately little bottles are twice the price of the liter bottles here...grrr.

Finally!

Someone who isn't all "just thinners, even though some of the removers have ethyl acetate only. why? because it says 'thinner', not 'remover', silly!".
