Trendy nail polishes in 2013 include delicate pastel shades: mint, soft coral. But it is precisely such bleached colors that most often upset others: they lie unevenly, dry for a long time and, of course, bubble. This is due to the texture of the varnish, and the complexity of application, as well as the fact that on such delicate colors all the flaws are more noticeable. However, by answering the question of why nail polish is bubbling, you can tame any, even the most capricious shade.

Why is nail polish bubbling? The problem is in the varnish itself
If the varnish has thickened, then it is more difficult to evenly distribute it, it dries longer, therefore, there is a high probability of bubbles. To avoid this, you should store varnishes correctly: close tightly, wipe the neck after application, shake the bottle, gently rocking it from side to side, and not vertically. Storage conditions are also important: in humid and hot conditions, many varnishes become difficult to apply. In addition, the matter may be in the texture. Metallics bubble less than others andmother-of-pearl, as well as jelly varnishes.

Many pastel nail polishes require two or even three coats for good even coverage. This is where the danger lies. Before applying the next layer of varnish, the previous one must be well dried. Thick layers of varnish should be avoided. You can use dryers: many of them not only speed up the drying of the varnish, but are also able to smooth out bubbles that have already appeared. You should not apply varnish near air conditioners and fans, as well as wave your arms strongly, as girls often do who want to quickly dry the varnish. In order for the coating to dry faster, it is better to purchase a dryer, and in order for a varnish with a thick texture to lie better, you can use the technique that is used when applying gel polishes: hold your hands with your palms up.

In addition, the varnish falls on wet nails worse, and then dries longer. The ideal option is to use a suitable base coat, but you need to choose one that will not conflict with the decorative one. This will minimize the risk of blisters and, in addition, protect the nails from yellowing. Nails must be degreased before painting. Sometimes it is recommended to do this with a nail polish remover, but this method cannot be considered gentle. It is known that even the softest JDSL spoils nails. In fact, it is enough to wash your nails with soap and water with a special brush, then dry your hands well with a towel and wait 5-10 minutes.
