Cheap Cheats
You can't afford varnish? I don't believe you... Everyone can afford varnish... But if you insist on being stingy here's how to make your varnishes go the extra mile:
1) More coats - Thinner layers:
If you like having your nails painted you should already know it's not all about slopping on a thick layer, it's getting good thin even coverage and building the layers up. Drying time is quicker, your nails are less likely to smudge and you don't waste as much varnish...
2) Gloopy Polish - Get a Thinner:
OK Sorry. You have to pay (£6) for this one... but well worth the money. If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. I'm sure you have all been told to add nail varnish remover to gloopy nail varnishes. Don't. This is pretty hit and miss - trust me I know... what you need to get is a Nail Varnish Thinner, Specially Designed to Battle the Gloop!

3) Keep your cool - Fridge it!
(So Jessica from GetPeach.com takes it a bit to extreme's.. http://www.getpeachy.com/36/a-fresh-coat-of-polish.htm)
A chemist said so! "The cosmetic chemist Mort Westman explains that refrigeration reduces solvent evaporation and pigment caking and settling." Put that in your pipe and smoke it... It Extends the Life Time of your varnish and Maintains the Colour, so it's not good putting your gloopy stuff in their, but a good way to Look After any Special Buys!
