I'd put a couple of drops in a saucer, then a couple of drops of lacquer thinner.  Stir it around and see if it mixes OK.  If it does, let it dry and see if it cures OK.  If it does, try spraying a bit on some junk plastic.  If that's OK, then you should be set to go.  Be sure it's compatible with whatever your spraying over.  Hopefully, you have a well ventilated spray booth or an organic vapors mask.

Why are you using nail polish as a clear coat when there are enamels and acrylics that do the job just fine?

If it is a lacquer (are you sure?) then thin with lacquer thinner.

Be careful though as that stuff can be dangerous if you do not have good ventilation.
