Fashionable 2013 nail polishes include delicate pastel shades: mint, soft coral. But it is precisely such whitened colors that are more often upsetting than others: they lie unevenly, dry for a long time and, of course, bubble up. This is due to the texture of the varnish, and the complexity of the application, as well as the fact that on such delicate colors all the flaws are more noticeable. However, answering the question of why nail polish is bubbling, you can tame any, even the most capricious shade.
There are many reasons for the appearance of bubbles. Sometimes one of them is enough to make the varnish bubble. But most often, a complex of reasons applies.
Why does nail polish bubble? 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 the appearance of bubbles. To avoid this, the varnishes should be properly stored: close tightly, wipe the neck after application, shake the bottle, gently rocking from side to side, and not vertically. Storage conditions are also important: in wet and hot conditions, many varnishes become difficult to apply. In addition, it may be in the texture. Less often than others, metallic and mother-of-pearl, as well as varnish-jellies bubble.
They are quite liquid, lie thin, dry faster. But cream varnishes are usually thicker. Therefore, with them you just need to be more careful and pay special attention to the correct application of varnish.
Why does nail polish bubble? Wrong application technique
Many pastel varnishes require two or even three layers for a good uniform coating. This is where the danger lies. Before applying the next coat 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 accelerate the drying of the varnish, but also are able to smooth out the bubbles that have already appeared. Do not apply varnish next to air conditioners and fans, as well as waving your arms strongly, as girls who want to quickly dry varnish often do. To dry the coating faster, it is better to purchase drying, and so that the varnish with a thick texture is better lying down, you can use the technique that is used when applying gel varnishes: hold your hands with your palms up.
Why does nail polish bubble? Improper nail preparation
Oddly enough, but the nails quite actively absorb and give off moisture. After bathing, washing hands or other procedures related to finding hands in water, they should be well dried. And only then apply varnish. It is believed that if you do not follow these recommendations, the nails begin to give off moisture under a layer of varnish, therefore, bubbles and irregularities form. In addition, varnish lays worse on wet nails, 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 decorative. This will minimize the risk of blistering and, in addition, protect the nails from yellowing. Before painting, nails should be degreased. It is sometimes recommended to do this as a nail polish remover, but this method cannot be considered sparing. It is known that even the mildest IDL spoils nails. In fact, it is enough to wash your nails with soap and a special brush, then blot your hands well with a towel and wait 5-10 minutes.
Following these simple recommendations, you will forget about what is and how nail polish is bubbling.
