I have to agree with you Elaine. After all this controversy I warmed mine on my mani lotion/cup warmer. It was ok that first time, but once it cooled and I did it a second time it was worse. Thicker than before and didn't soften as well as the first time. Goopy and couldn't get it up out of the bottle even after mixing it. It wouldn't spread out across the nail surface. Had to pitch it out and open a new one. Costly experiment! Stirrin and Shaken will be my personal prefered method! Until there is a additive if there can be one to restore it to usable consistency. I have combined some low level Base cotes and Top cotes to their like kind and been able to salvage some low level bottles and kept them as backup. I always keep at least 3 NEW bottles of base and top in inventory. Just a safety net.

So in theory, you'll be warming them up and getting a better consistency (for the time being) only to have them thicken faster. I don't know what CND's recommendations are. And I would listen to them first. But knowing the chemicals...I wouldn't be warming those bottles. Kind Regards, Elaine T.
