Hi beauties! I have been doing my own mani's for a while now and love it I just have one major problem. Almost every time I do my nails I get these air bubbles. They ruin my manicure from looking perfect. Can anyone help me with ideas to stop this from happening? Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks for the help in advance ladies!!

I heard to thin coats and make sure to let the layers dry before applying another coat.

Put your nail polish in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes, it'll make it go on smoother and will dry faster ☺️

Refrigerate your nail polish! keeps it thin and I've had the same nail polish for about 7 years now.

But keep it in the fridge because the. it could go thick again.

My advice is not to shake the polish, because that just introduces air bubbles to the polish. It is better to roll the polish between your hands. If you have to shake it, wait at least 10 minutes for the bubbles to settle. Also polish is best stored in a cool dry area, and keeping it in the fridge changes the polish temperature every time you take it into and put it back in, reducing the life of a polish. I agree with applying thin coats and waiting for each coat to dry before applying the next. Hope I helped! I created a full post addressing the 4 main causes of bubbles on my blog, Poshpolishnails.com, just search for bubbles and you should be able to find the post!
