So, I know that nail polish can bubble when you apply multiple coats without giving the nail polish time to dry, or by shaking the bottle before painting your nails... But I have a unique problem. I never get bubbles in my nail polish unless I apply too-thick coats too quickly, but I know that's what's causing it, and I know it's my fault. But whenever I apply Zoya nail polish--without fail-- it always bubbles. It's not my base coat, because I've tried using a few, I've waited in between coats, I've tried layering it over other colors; no dice. It always bubbles! Does anyone else have this problem with Zoya, and is the only solution to let it dry *completely* between coats? I love the colors, but this just ruins how they look!
I have a few Zoya polishes & it seems to do the same thing to me, I'm not sure why either! Wish I could figure it out lol because like you said the colors are Amazing!

it might be just an issue with the formula offgassing. The best solution is to let each layer dry completely (as boring as that is).

I have experienced this with Zoya as well. I'm looking into to purchasing their quick-dry drops as this is supposed to help a lot.
