Why do air bubbles occur in the nail polish?

There are also examples of air bubbles appearing some time after the nail design is done, they seem to appear out of nowhere. It is then easy to believe that there is a fault with the product itself. But in fact, it is very likely that it is part of the application process that has gone awry. Here are some reasons for this phenomenon:

- The nail is too oily before and during application.

In order to get a good and durable result without unevenness and bubbles, it is necessary to follow the instructions for application very carefully, so you cannot skip any of the steps when it comes to the foundation work.
But to properly answer the question above, the bubbles probably occur because the nail is not properly cleaned with cleanser and/or that PH-bond / Primer has not been used. These products are the key to removing the oily surface that all people have naturally. This is done so that the artificial material adheres properly and to avoid slips/unevenness on the artificial nail.

- The material has not hardened properly

It may be because the lamp you used for curing is not strong enough to cure the material properly or that you cured the material for too short a time under the lamp.

- You have used a color with a lot of pigment

A gel polish with a lot of pigment, such as black or red, often needs a longer curing time. Here, extra thin layers of paint and a longer curing time between the layers are required.
If it is the case that the art material has not cured properly and nothing is done about it, then it can be problematic because uncured jelly can cause allergies. So be vigilant and don't take chances if you are unsure if the material is dry.

- You have "pumped" air into the gel

This is something that is good to put on muscle memory, to never so-called "pump" the brush in the bottle when you pick up new varnish. A lot of air then gets into the bottle and air bubbles in the paint then occur.
Instead, gently “swirl” the brush in the nail polish bottle and then drag the brush towards the opening of the bottle to get rid of excess polish.

Shaking the bottle can also create air bubbles. Instead, try "rolling" the bottle between your palms to mix the color properly before application.

-You use materials from different brands

This may sound like a sales gimmick but it is actually completely true. The quality can be negatively affected if you mix different products from different nail brands. The reason for this is that all series of art materials are created to work optimally together. This means that if you mix different brands, there is a high risk that these products are not compatible with each other and therefore release the material, you will get an uneven result, air bubbles or in the worst case an allergic reaction or nail loosening because the combinations of the different ingredients react negatively with each other.

- You store your products too hot

Another reason why bubbles and unevenness appear may be because you are storing your products at the wrong temperature. If you have a room where the sun easily shines in, it can damage your products. Always store the products in a cool place where sunlight does not risk penetrating through.
