I get my nails "did" once a week. Most times they come out fabulously; but every blue moon (like today) they dry looking like I secured some notes in Braille on my fingertips. Well, in order to prevent this tragedy from reoccurring, I need to know what causes them to get that way. So I found out. There are several different factors that may cause nail polish bubbles.
- Your nail polish may be too thick. Some acetone can thin it out.
- Don't shake the bottle, as it may cause bubbles to form. Instead, roll the bottle between your palms.
- Stay away from gusts of wind while you paint and as it dries (A/C, fans, etc.).
- An additional coat may have been applied before the previous coat dried at all.
- Moisture may have been left on your nail before you started painting (moisturizer, oil, etc.). Make sure you dry out your nail sufficiently with acetone before applying nail polish.
