Tips for Avoiding Bubbles in Wet Nail Polish Nail polish products are made using complex, proprietary formulas only known to their respective manufacturers.
Clean your nails : The skin on your hands releases oil and moisture that migrate to your nails, creating an invisible and slightly acidic layer that can mix with nail polish and cause problems. Wash your hands with warm soapy water and brush your nails with a soft bristle brush before applying polish. It's a good idea to clean the underside of each nail, too.
Add extra insurance : After your nails are clean, dip a cloth or swab in white vinegar and rub it on each nail in turn. Vinegar is a natural, safe, oil-busting acid that will help eliminate oily residue. Make sure your nails are dry : After washing and treating your nails, take the time to dry them thoroughly. Remember, even if your nails look dry, the nearby skin folds may still be moist. Wait at least another 10 minutes before grabbing the nail polish.
Close the windows and turn off the fan : Moving air, especially if it's moist, can have an impact on your nail finish. There's a difference of opinion on this score, and without an expert consensus, you'll have to be the judge.
Our advice is to err on the side of caution and create as stable — and still — an environment as you can. This doesn't mean you should apply nail polish in the closet, though. Nail polish and other nail products can produce dangerous fumes, so make sure to work in a large, open area. Inspect your polish : Expecting old, gloopy polish to give you a smooth finish isn't realistic.
Actually, it's hoping for a miracle. Since your nails emit natural oils that prevent the nail polish from adhering well, a base coat is the best way to seal these oils in. It is just not realistic. Test your nail polish beforehand with a quick swipe across your nail to check if it is the right consistency.
If your polish is thick, dense, and sticky, either thin it out with lacquer thinner or throw it away. Shaking a bottle of nail polish vigorously is probably the number one mistake we have all made. Doing so only traps the air inside the bottle, which creates tiny pockets where bubbles form.
Those air bubbles, when transferred onto your nails, sometimes leave noticeable holes in your manicure. If your polish has separated, the best way to deal with it is to simply roll the bottle between your hands like you are rolling dough.
The key to a perfect manicure lies in its application. If you have too much polish on your brush, you are in for a mess. You will have to deal with smudges, nicks, and bubbles. Besides, thicker layers of polish take too long to dry.
