Hi Vivi,
Your Q just caught my eye, as I am no painter & decorater, but during a recent similar episode, I found that tad or two of turpentine in glossy oil-based paints, or a splash of water mixed in with emulsion did the trick.
Oh, and a decent brush. Worth the exta couple of quid for a new one, instead of the clogged-up item that I first tried with.
Also I discoved wiping the thing across any streaks improved the finish no end.
Well, it all looks OK to me, and easier on the mind than looking at the yellow pages.
It is purple, not an interior designer, then, also.
Hey Ho !
Bob.

Did you wash the cupboards before you painted them, If not, you should have washed them with sugar soap. You can buy this at most DIY stores. You must have an absolute clean surface to paint on.

Use a roller if you can, but also sit the tin of paint in hot water, it will change the consistency of the paint and make it easier to apply.

sand down the old paint to take the top off it, not all the down to the wood and use a roller to paint the majority of it!if there is any inlay use an inch brush ir something similar!

USE A SMALL ROLLER IT WONT STREAK AND YOU WILL USE LESS PAINT
