Why does hybrid nail polish thicken?
It’s worth starting by understanding the cause of the problem. Often, the thickening of the polish results from improper storage. Hybrid polishes should be kept in a cool and dark place, away from heat sources and sunlight. Too frequent opening of the bottle also contributes to the change in consistency, as air gets inside and affects the chemical composition of the polish. Moreover, a lack of proper closure of the bottle can lead to the loss of solvents present in the polish.
What are the effects of using too thick polish?
Applying thick hybrid polish is a real challenge. Such polish can create streaks, unsightly lumps, and air bubbles on the nails. Moreover, too thick a layer of polish may not cure properly even under a UV/LED lamp, resulting in a shorter manicure lifespan. Therefore, to avoid these problems, it’s worth knowing how to effectively thin hybrid polish.
Proven ways to thin hybrid nail polish
1. **Specialist thinners**: The most reliable way to restore hybrid polish to its ideal consistency is to use a specialist thinner. Such products are available in cosmetic stores and are designed with hybrid polishes in mind. Just add a few drops to the polish bottle, shake well, and you’re done! This method is not only effective but also safe for the polish formula.
2. **Avoid home methods**: You often hear about home methods, such as adding acetone or nail polish remover. However, such solutions can destroy the structure of the polish, changing its color and properties. This approach can do more harm than good, so we recommend avoiding such experiments.
