Know the feeling when your nail polish dries out or gets all thick and sticky? Well the good news is, you can rescue it, thanks to this inexpensive tip.

There are lots of TikTok hacks out there, promising radiance at low cost whether by dabbing shaving foam on make-up stains or getting a longer-lasting fragrance thanks to Vaseline.

Rejuvenating your nail polish, it turns out, really works.

Just add a few drops of nail polish remover containing acetone to your nail polish bottle and carefully swirl it. Go easy though and don't put too much in, remembering that you can always add more, but not easily remove it if you pour in too much.

The solvent converts your solidified nail varnish back to a fluid and useable state again.
