You can try adding a drop or two of nail polish remover. if its too sticky then you may need to replace the nail polish as its old.

You should put nail polish remover in the nail polish to make it more loose!

OMG, putting nail polish remover into a polish that you like is a terrible idea! That will absolutely ruin it. It may make it work slightly better for a bit, but in the long run it will break down the polish and make it unusable and horrible. Buy actual nail polish thinner, add 2 drops of it, shake it up and wait. Don't add more than suggested or you will literally have a runny disgusting liquid (speaking from experience here).

^^^ NEVER put polish remover into nail polish. I agree with the polish thinner if you're looking to thin the consistency, but if your problem is getting it to dry, look into Seche Vite fast dry top coat :) dries your polish super quickly.
