Is this better than cheaper polish thinners?

I tried a cheaper polish thinner once and didn't like it. It just didn't provide what I needed. So, I only use this now and a little goes a long way. I have been very please with OPI products and this is no exception.

Sorry i didn't respond earlier, but when the product thickens - usually when you get closer to the bottom of the bottle - i just add a little bit of nail polish thinner to it; and yes, it really really does work... i have never tried any of the others that you have listed. Before using it, my nails were very thin and split alot; do be sure to use it as it says, daily application and then take off after a week and re-apply...I would highly recommend this product.

I don't know, but it sounds like it is. Does anyone know how to use the polish remover? Since I didn't have the proper applicator pad I have to try and lift up the polish and reapply. Hoping for better results!!

I use this nail polish thinner with all my brands of nail polish, not just OPI.

Well, the strips come in various sizes, and if some do fall to the side of the nail all you do is file that excess away. Personally, I hate the strips. They don't adhere well and it is most people's case that the strips start chipping merely hours after applying it. The GEL on the other hand is amazing. I use regular nail polish, let it dry THOROUGHLY and then apply the gel and cure with the LED lamp. This does extend the life of the nail polish and the gloss and shine is unbelievable. The strips.. nah!

The stuff is ok. What's a lot better is the "Sunshine Polishing cloth". Plenty available on ebay...maybe even here on Amazon. It is a jewelry polishing cloth but great on stainless steel if that's what you want.

It does matter actually. The "Natural" colored nail wheels are the best to test polish to get that real-life affect and sampling and are good for sample nail art. The clear ones are better used with glitter acrylic powder mixes or acrylic powder color testing so that their colors show true. I'm currently using the "natural" colored nail wheels when sampling and swatching my new polish colors. Please let me know if you any other questions about this. Have an awesome day!!

Yes its liquid the hard brush helps u control better. It's not a polish, it's a primer. :) hope that helps! I got used to the brush quite fast, and find its quite useful and convenient to use!

A few drops of polish thinner--NOT POLISH REMOVER--worked for me when that happened. I do love this stuff.

I don't really know as I only purchased Negligee. I was disappointed in the product, overall. I was looking for an alternative to GEL polish, which takes a long time to remove. CND Vinylux, unfortunately, was not the answer to GEL. I'd be curious to hear what you think of the product once you use Vinylux. Thanks.

I use it as clear polish with glitters. Sometimes before color to make the nails harder. Its more liquidy than structure gel. If the colors are cured, it shouldn't smear the color. After foundation or after color works fine.

It is a polish. It serves the same purpose as a wax in that it protects. Only this stuff is synthetic. Putting wax over it will give you a better gloss.

Sorry, I had been using NailTek but have decided Nails Alive is better and the same price. I don't use it every day with a new coat, though - just once a week, two coats.

I added a few drops of 100% acetone nail polish remover and let it mix overnight. It worked perfectly great! The technique works equally well to thin out regular nail polish, but it must be 100% acetone. The other stuff, won't work.

there is a paint thinner by createx or depending on what you want to use it for.. clear windex works good for me.. ( I use this for spray painting finger nail designs)

The M205 is a polish. It is not as great as a product to remove heavy swirls. So if you have already decided to use the M205, you either have light defects or polishing to a fie finish. For that, use this with a foam pad. I would use the Lake Country White pad or similar. Using wool would be counter productive to the intention of a fine finish

It doesn't matter so much what brand you use, as long as its a thicker polish. If you want to use a thinner one you should thicken it up a bit with eyeshadow (add a shimmer!) or cornstarch first. The Konad ones are the best consistency for stamping already though .
