I have never really experienced this. Maybe a base coat underneath, topcoat on top or like a nail hardener.

I think its due to excess moisture on your finger nails. this used to happen me but I managed to stop this happening by doing a few steps. wash your hands thoroughly, don't shake your nail polish bottle (roll it in your hand instead) and using some tissue rub some vinegar onto the nail and leave it dry for approx 5 minutes before applying the polish. the vinegar will strip some of the excess moisture from lotions, soaps and varnish remover and won't leave any residue behind.

I would recommend buying a new base coat and too coat. When you paint you nails before you apply the base coat take a cotton ball dipped in nail polish remover and rub on all nails to remove any oils. Then apply your vase coat and wait for it to dry. Then you can apply your nail color; to avoid these bubbles I would wait between each coat to dry. Also never shake your polishes as this can create air bubbles. After your two coats of color is dried apply your top coat. A base coat nail polish I would recommend is one by Sally Hansen and for the top coat my favorite is Essie's Good To Go Top Coat :) I hope this helps!!❤💅

Actually it has to do with heat and the thickness of the polish. Make sure that you're not under a hot light or in a hot room, and paint thin coats. Don't forget to wipe your nails with nail polish remover first.

I get those to sometimes and those are because of the air.. Don't apply your nail polish anywhere windy or there is direct air. Air causes your nail polish to create bubbles and it makes your nail polish to chip easily.
