I've noticed that a lot of the times when I put on nail polish, it dries with little bubbles in it. Do you know of any ways to prevent this? I'll attach a photo so you can see what I mean :)

Maybe put some nail polish remover liquid into it because I use that to fix old nail polishes and it works.

It was brand new though, first time I'd used it :/

I agree with Arvind. Maybe it because you put on a little bit too much nail polish on. I really don't know because I never experienced this before, but I'm just guessing.

You are putting it on too thick, or not waiting for them to dry before putting on another coat.

Or maybe the nail polish dries too fast.

Oh, I just put on 3 coats because it was thin and I wanted opaque color.

Oh china glaze the colors are lovely but the actual polish is junk. Throw it out or use it on top if another coloe.

Try to prep your nails by making sure they have no oils or anything on them before you apply polish. applying nail polish remover before you start should work fine. also , Sally Hansen's 'dry and go' drops help to even out the polish and hide imperfections. (at least in my experience)

It's probably because your polish is too thick or you haven't given each coat time to try before applying another one.

You could be shaking the bottle to much you are only meant to shake it once really gently x

If you pump the brush, it could create air bubbles in the polish.

If you don't have nail polish thinner you coukd use a couple drops of rubbing alcohol, oherwise you probably need to wait long before you put the next coat on, and make it a thinner coat of polish.

Wait for then to dry more before putting on another coat.
