Hi girls,
Every now and then when I paint my nails the nail polish gets bubbles in it after it drys. Can anyone explain why this happens and how I can stop it from happening? Any help
Would be much appreciated!

Nail polish bubbles form from air getting in your nail polish and forming little bubbles. This can happen from using too many strokes when painting your nails and also from what seems like no reason at all.

The best way to prevent bubbling is to not paint your nails in an excessively windy place, using three strokes (only!) to paint one coat of nail polish, and from swirling your brush slowly around in the nail polish before painting each nail. Something I also tend to do is paint my nails about forty minutes before I go to bed and making sure to tuck my hands under my pillow when I sleep. This creates pillow marks in my nail polish but makes sure there is no bubbling. Pillow marks will then disappear after using one coat of top coat.

I hope this helps :)
