years and years ago, I used to buy a brand of nail polish thinner but I can't find it anymore (think they stopped making it)....
can I use nail polish remover?
or can anyone tell me where to find a nail polish thinner?

Don't use polish remover or alcohol to thin nail polish. They will dull the color and finish. Get nail polish thinner at Sally Beauty Supply. Add a few drops and shake, then let it settle to remove the air bubbles. And clean the brush with thinner to get rid the heavier polish.

It does. You can also use rubbing alcohol. This is actually one of the ingredients in nail polish. I think about 5 drops of either should do. More or less depending on how thick it is. And use a medicine dropper if you have one.
To the girl below that said they both dull it...No. Like I said alcohol is one of the ingredients in nail polish, more of it will not dull it, but on the other hand make it a little shinier. At least this has been my real experience with it, she probably used water or something and thought it was alcohol :-p. They are NOT bad for the nail polish.

Yes, but it will ruin the polish over time. Remover is made to break down the pigments in the polish so at first it will be thinner and work fine but it will make the pigments separate and you won't be able to shake it back together. Go buy nail polish thinner from a beauty supply store.

I used to buy nail polish thinner also, but I have used remover to thin polish.
I'm not sure if they still make the thinner either.
Good Luck

Watson's may be difficult. Try John Little at Somerset or Robinsons where they have huge collection of Sally Hansen's brand of products. That range is not bad & may have nail polish thinner

You can use just a tiny bit of any brand non-aceton polish remover , but remember if you get too much in there , you ruined your polish .

I think the remover will do what it does best: remove. Maybe another company still makes it.

Don't use the remover, find the thinning agent. Remover will make it opaque and "stripey"
