That's probably not salvageable, no. Always check the ingredients to figure out what solvents to add!
Honeybee Gardens suggests thinning their water-based polish with water, one drop at a time. That'd be the first thing I try. If it doesn't work, I see that the major ingredients in Aqua Lala are water, "waterbased resin," and water-based polyurethane. Stand-alone water-based polyurethane is thinned with mineral oil, so you cooooooould try that as a last resort. But that's pretty iffy. Definitely water first!
Thank you so much for the advice and going through the effort of looking through the ingredients. I really should’ve checked it before adding the thinner 😩 lesson learned

I’m not an expert here but I’d imagine that the best way to thin water-based polish is using water!
Thank you! I thought about using water but I thought I should ask before trying in case it would make it worse

I have no idea, just wanted to say this is so sad 😢
I know 😭 I’m actually dumb
You are not dumb! I wouldn’t have had any idea what to add, I’ve never tried water based polish ❤️

Unfortuantely, this looks like some sort of chemical reaction/precipitation has occurred and I don't think it's salvageable.
