Thus fix some European cosmetic (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
nail-polish
'cosmetic' is the definition.
(I know that nail polish is a type of cosmetic)
'thus fix some european' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fix' could be 'nail' (I've seen this before) and 'nail' is found within the answer.
'european' could be 'polish' (Poland is in Europe) and 'polish' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
