Bubbles in permanent polish

The appearance of bubbles in permanent nail polish can ruin the look of a manicure. Are you also bothered by these small imperfections that can appear during polishing? If you want to know why bubbles appear in permanent nail polish and learn how to prevent them from appearing, pay attention to the following suggestions and recommendations from Manicura24 . Many times, with just a few simple actions, we can prevent these annoying bubbles from appearing and achieve a perfect manicure.

WHY ARE THERE BUBBLES IN PERMANENT NAIL POLISH?

Let's start by understanding what causes bubbles to appear in permanent nail polish . Here are the six most common reasons:

1. INCORRECT NAIL PREPARATION

During the natural nail preparation process, many factors come into play that cause dust and dirt: filing, removing the cuticle, polishing... Once these steps have been completed (all of which are essential for the correct preparation of the natural nail before polishing), it is very important to clean your nails well to remove all the dust and traces of skin that may remain. Make sure that the nail is completely clean and dry before you start to polish . This will prevent bubbles and irregularities from appearing in your manicure.

2. TOO THICK LAYER OF PERMANENT NAIL POLISH

Applying a layer of permanent polish that is too thick can cause the polish to not dry completely in the lamp. You will notice that this is happening when you take your nails out of the lamp and they create bubbles or lines inside which there is still product in a viscous state, instead of completely dry.

3. POOR QUALITY OR POOR CONDITION PERMANENT NAIL POLISH

Poor quality nail polishes can be harder to apply and cause bubbles to form. This also happens when applying a nail polish that is in poor condition, for example, one that has expired or has been exposed to sunlight.

4. WEAK LIGHT BULBS

If the bulbs in your nail dryer aren't working optimally, it will most likely affect your manicure. A lamp with weak bulbs won't dry your nails properly and bubbles are likely to appear on your nails.

5. TOO SHORT DRYING TIME

The most modern drying lamps combine UV and LED technology, which allows the permanent nail polish to dry in just 1 minute. Drying the permanent nail polish for less time than indicated can cause bubbles to appear.

6. IMPROPER SHAKING OF THE CONTAINER

It is not recommended to shake the container of permanent polish, permanent polish base or finishing gloss with sudden movements.

HOW TO KEEP PERMANENT NAIL POLISH FROM BUBBLE-REMOVING?

Now that you know the main reasons why bubbles can appear in your semi-permanent polish , let's talk about how to prevent them from appearing and how to prevent these unfortunate air pockets from ruining your manicure.
  1. Clean the nail properly with Cleaner and wipes before starting to apply any product. Use an orange stick to clean between the nail and the cuticle.
  2. Apply thin, even layers of permanent nail polish . This will ensure that it dries completely in the lamp.
  3. Use quality nail polishes (your nails will thank you) and make sure the product is in good condition . To keep your nail polishes safe, store them in a place protected from sunlight.
  4. Make sure your lamp is working properly , the bulbs are emitting adequate light and they all turn on at the same time.
  5. Dry the polish in the lamp for the recommended time and do not remove your hand from the lamp before the indicated time. The drying lamps have a timer, so you will always know how much time is left to complete the drying process.
  6. Do not shake the permanent polish, base or top coat before applying it . You can move the container, but always with gentle and relaxed movements.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THERE ARE BUBBLES IN THE PERMANENT NAIL POLISH?

You probably won't like what you're about to read, but let's be clear: there is no miracle solution to get rid of bubbles once they've appeared on your permanent nail polish. The only solution is to completely remove the product from your nails and start the process over again from the beginning. If you leave those bubbles in your manicure, they will most likely affect the durability of the nail polish and cause it to come off.
