Tricks of the Trade

Ok i'm relatively new to polish, compaired to some of you on here, so i have a lot to learn  

My first question is...what do you do when you get half way down a bottle of polish? Well maybe not polish as i dont think i've used any of my polishes more than 2 or 3 times but i have a bottle of Seche Vite that i am about half way through but the brush doesnt reach the bottom of the bottle so i have started to have problems getting enough on the brush each time  
If you tilt the bottle a bit you get more on the brush but when you have one hand of semi-wet polish its not that easy.
So what do you do when you get near half way or lower on a polish bottle?

I tilt! If there is another way I'd like to know!

Another tilter here Wesker - and I wadge the brush up and down which invariably leaves bubbles in the Seche but hey, when time's against you - needs must!!! Have you plonked some restore in it?

I start another bottle - and then when I've got two that are half full, top one up with the other. Usually needs a bit of thinner but it works fine.

I'm a tilter too - I can almost fully empty a bottle of basecoat now lol. Seche Vite I just top up though.

This is what I do with Nail Envy, works a charm. My latest bottle got to just under halfway and I was struggling to get anything on the brush, so I bought a new bottle and will tip the contents of the old bottle into the new one when I've used a bit up

large ball of blu tack, wedge the bottle in at the desired angle and stick it to the table  

I don't think I've ever managed to get halfway down a bottle of polish so it's not a problem I've encountered yet! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

hahhaa same here...except for base and top coats xD

I'd give it away! It'll generally be a bit gloopy and be more annoying to apply and when you're charging, it has to be perfect.

I bought a huge professional sized bottle of Seche - when mine gets gloopy, I dump some Restore in it, then top it up with fresh Seche until it's a full bottle again. I just don't have the patience to be a tilter, LOL!
