Nail Tek’s Extend
I’ve discovered a marvelous little product: Nail Tek’s Extend. It’s a nail polish solvent renewer. For the five dollars I spent on it, I’ll never again have to throw out the last third of a gloppy nail polish.
I used to try and thin out my thick nail polishes with a little nail polish remover, but that’s actually a terrible way to go about it. Using nail polish remover will certainly thin out polish, but it’ll chip off much easier and the color will become weaker. Nail Tek’s Extend is the actual lyquefying solvent companies use to create their nail polishes. Adding a few drops will thin out the polish that becomes thicker with time as its solvent evaporates, but without the weakening effects of using remover. I purchased mine at Ulta and it’s sold on Amazon.com as well.
Those glops at the bottom of your nail polish bottles are perfectly good color without the liquefying solvents. Extend will work on any color, company, and even works on nail strentheners in addition to regular color polishes. You only need to use about two to three drops to refresh a gloppy polish, so your five dollars will really go along way with this product.

Hey Asami!
Just want to let you know that I went out and bought this stuff yesterday to thin out my Milani nail polishes. I don’t know if you buy Milani or if you do, have the same problems but I find that Milani tends to get gloopy when I’m painting my nails. I didn’t try it yet but when I do I’ll let you know of the results. :)

Mika,
You’re going to love it! I haven’t tried Milani, but I know some polish companies get thicker faster than others for sure. Add a few drops, mix and add a few more drops if needed. Nail Tek’s Extend is way amazing and I never throw away old polishes anymore. It’s great stuff; let me know what you think of it. :)

Love your website and all the different tutorials/designs/product reviews! One question though - I can’t see the photos; it says “This image has been moved or deleted” Do u have any idea why that might be? I’d really love to see the photos! :)

Hello Asami,
here is Malice again.
Why is it impossible for me to see any pics of this blog? I’m also following your other blog but I think you post different designs here and there, don’t you?
Is the access restricted in any way?

Why can’t I see your pictures? I hear so many good things, I read good things too, but I see nothing but photobucket stuff, and no pictures. Help?
