Veneers too white. If they are thinned out, will this make my veneer weaker? Will it even work?

Hi, I recently had porcelain veneers done. I chose the color 1.5 BL which was too white once placed on my teeth before bonding. The dentist applied dark cement which brought the color to about a 1.75 BL. But my teeth are still too white. I couldn’t decide between the 1.5 BL and 2 BL so they told me to go brighter which I regret a lot. The dentist said he could thin out the veneer so my original tooth color peaks through. Will this make my veneer weaker and will this even work?
