Default Shimmerz drying up... can you add anything to it?

Hi Ladies..

I have some shimmerz that are almost dried up, maybe from just sitting and not being used. Does anyone know if I can add a little alcohol or other liquid to bring it back to life a little?

Thanks !!

They are waterbased so I think you could just add a little water.

I've added a couple of drops of water and used a toothpick to stir them to bring them back to life. You might need to play with the amount of water you use until you get it to the right stage for you to use them.

Best to use distilled water, and be sure the object used for stiring has not been used before...
