Polish remover will work, in a small amount. It does dilute it and it wont be exactly the same in color, texture, or thickness. I think water would be a bad idea and would make it a big mess.
But they do make polish thinner that you can get at beauty supply stores that work much better. It's the same stuff that is already in nail polish so it doesn't change the texture and will work almost as good as new. Polish remover you probably already have though! :)

you have your self a tricky job. as far as i'm conscious, no person at the instant markets a thinner for nail paints--such an merchandise would maximum possibly comprise ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and each now and then SD alcohol (the main important-fee ingredients in just about all nail enamels and lacquers). sparkling varnish consistent with the product that desires thinning would not help your reason, because it contains lots of the reinforcing products that are in unusably heavy concentration interior the over-thick paint. i'd desire to theoretically mixture up the suitable thinner, yet that would require a milk run to the chemical grant domicile, because of the fact the aforementioned acetates are no longer obtainable at maximum activity shops, hardware shops and/or drugstores. Sorry i won't be in a position to coach you a thank you to in any different case--the cosmetics agencies see too little marketplace for nail-polish thinner to fabricate it. the countless before published solutions point out nail polish remover, however the ingredient lists contraindicate its use--NO paint ever synthetic has acetone in it; acetone, fairly, is a broom cleansing agent besides because of the fact the suitable solvent for removing cured paint.

Mixing it with a little tiny bit of nail polish remover will make it smooth out.

Try adding 1-2 drops of waterr into the nailpolish to soften it up. then add clear nail polish and just keep stiring. But make sure the dried nail polish is crushed already.

Do not use water - it won't mix in well.
Do not use nail polish remover - it will thin out the polish & make it prone to peeling.
Use nail polish thinner - it is available @ beauty supply stores & some drugstores. ex) http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~product_id=2068697

If it's not completly dried you can try to mix it up with just a little nailpolish remover. But really just a little, like a drop or two, shake it well... it worked for me and i got the idea from a naildesigner...

add polish remover, let it sit for 5 min and shake! the color will not be as vibrant as the original .......don't worry, get some clear nail polish over .
Good luck!
