I was wondering what you thought of Seche Restore vs. Zoya's Renew. <br /><br />And -- have you had an issues w/polish thinners causing polishes to become cloudy, hazy or somewhat mattified? I didn't have this problem w/Zoya's (and haven't tried Seche's Restore, since your post just informed me about it's existence!), but have noticed it w/others.... <br /><br />Thanks!aminailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894581515894582908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-83071964154804372862013-04-08T19:23:52.271-05:002013-04-08T19:23:52.271-05:00I'm so glad I found this post. x_x I just boug...I'm so glad I found this post. x_x I just bought some of this because my base and top coats kept getting goopy before I could use them up, but now I'm even more excited because I can fix up some of my favorite polishes good as new :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-9086138797563272212013-04-08T19:23:39.290-05:002013-04-08T19:23:39.290-05:00I'm so glad I found this post. x_x I just boug...I'm so glad I found this post. x_x I just bought some of this because my base and top coats kept getting goopy before I could use them up, but now I'm even more excited because I can fix up some of my favorite polishes good as new :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-68907928020424541752013-01-24T06:25:31.524-06:002013-01-24T06:25:31.524-06:00Thank you for this post!!!

I've worked in a organic chemistry lab and these chemicals (suspected carcinogens) work their magic over repeated chronic. If I were you, I would do more research or talk to a professional, because if anyone were to have exposure effects it would be someone like you that watches on a daily basis.

I wasn't into polish (not drugstore brands at least) when the L'oreal Bijou were around but recently have seen a couple pics of them that have got me wondering if I need to start searching eBay to find some for my collection - LOL! Some of them appear REALLY gorgeous!! Anyway, so I ended up here - and I want to thank you for this GREAT post! <br /><br />I just read through it from beginning to end and it was VERY educational and helpful! <br /><br />I only recently learned about thinner and actually do own a nice big bottle of it (a cheaper brand from Sally Beauty - Beauty Secrets, maybe? but not Seche Restore) and have used it to successfully thin out a few polishes that have gotten thick on me but had NO idea that you could actually totally REVIVE a "dead" old polish! How AWESOME is that??! <br /><br />Thanks so much, Scrangie - love your blog - your pics are the best, your reviews and commentary are uber-helpful and informative, AND (most importantly) your sense of humor CRACKS ME UP! :)<br /><br />XOXO<br /><br />~RuthieRuthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531029440977648564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-23067296556712343632010-03-14T12:20:13.673-05:002010-03-14T12:20:13.673-05:00I'm mad at myself now for throwing away nail p...I'm mad at myself now for throwing away nail polish!! :(<br />It won't happen again!PrincessDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533711036882646588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-75918519702341274602010-01-02T13:54:20.097-06:002010-01-02T13:54:20.097-06:00Isn't Toluene one of the "Big 3" che...Isn't Toluene one of the "Big 3" chemicals that are not all that good for you, though?
