Why does gel polish bubble up on nails?

Modern technologies make it possible to make a manicure that is as resistant to mechanical damage as possible. The gel polish coating procedure allows you to maintain strength and lasting color from two to three weeks. For longer use, a correction will be necessary.

Beginners often face the problem of gel polish bubbling on their nails. Sometimes such an unpleasant moment can happen to the pros. Let's look at the reasons why bubbles form.

Carefully read the instructions for each tool and follow these rules.

1. Most often, defects appear if the reagents are not properly handled during application.. One reason is to shake the bottle before application. Some carry out such a procedure by analogy with ordinary varnish. This disrupts the uniform consistency and air bubbles enter the liquid, which appear after drying. It will be correct to hold the vial in a warm place or in your hands until the composition becomes uniform.
2. Pay special attention to the degreasing of the nail plates, as the remnants of the cream and other components interfere with the uniform coverage of the base. When it dries, such places will swell.The base must be of high quality, because it is it that protects your nails from the effects of harmful components in the composition of varnishes.
3. Any master knows that two layers of coloring varnish are enough for color saturation.. Some girls think that the more layers, the better. This is not entirely true. It is known that the faster the coating dries, the longer it will last. The multi-layer construction looks rough and has every chance of blistering during the final drying or falling off in the first week of wearing.
4. You run the risk of spoiling the manicure during application if there are droplets of moisture on the nail plates. To avoid such misunderstandings, it is worth using a special substance - a primer, which reliably degreases the surface. Make sure that all active ingredients are in closed packages, because a small drop of water is enough and the varnish will be damaged.
5. Gel polish should not be applied immediately after a shower, bath, sauna or pool.. Nail plates absorb a lot of water, which even a primer cannot displace. Such a gel will not last long and will swell in the first week.
6. For high-quality work and a decent end result, you should use a base, varnish, primer and other components from the same manufacturer. Tools from different manufacturers may not be compatible with each other. You should not buy cheap copies, their quality is questionable and can lead to brittleness.
7. Store all components correctly. The jars should not be exposed to direct sunlight, the room should be cool.

Drying must also be done carefully. There are a number of rules that must be followed in order for the process to proceed correctly.

1. Do not blow dry your nails or any other source of hot air, hold under cold water, wave your hands. The composition of the gel polish is not designed for such treatment and its structure will be destroyed by the temperature difference.
2. Bubbles may appear if the lamp is defective.. Try changing the UV source.
3. After the final procedure, the manicure needs about an hour to dry completely.because the deep layers are still soft. At this time, refrain from coffee and tea, a hot cup can provoke a violation of integrity due to temperature changes. Do not come into contact with water and other chemicals: do not wash dishes, do not blow-dry hair, do not style.
4. Using an express dryer, check if it fits the rest of the ingredients.. Do not use varieties designed for quick drying of ordinary varnish.
5. Always use a fixative. It must be from the same manufacturer as the other components or compatible with them. After its application, the surface will become glossy and last longer.

Having transformed the tips of our fingers, we want this beauty to remain as long as possible in its original form. This can be easily achieved by following a few guidelines.

1. Minimize contact with chemicals. Do housework with rubber gloves. This will protect not only your varnish, but also the skin of your pens from the negative effects of synthetic detergents.
2. In the first couple of days, try to refrain from going to the sauna, swimming pool, water park, otherwise it will affect the strength of the gel.
3. Do not apply gel polish if nails are damaged, brittle and require special care.. First, restore them to a healthy state, and then start experimenting.
4. Make timely corrections. OIt will help maintain an aesthetic appearance and protect the nail plates from accidental injury.
5. Do not wear coverage for more than two months. After this time, take a break so that the nails can rest and improve their health. During this period, do baths, masks with oils and other useful procedures.

If defects appear, and there is sorely not enough time to redo everything, you can use some tricks.

1. The most affordable way is to decorate your nails with special stickers.and, rhinestones, beads or other similar accessories. They add zest and hide small flaws. A 3D application in the form of flowers or butterflies will look spectacular, depending on the original color.
2. It will be more difficult to apply a relief pattern, which will help mask problem areas.
3. You can use special tools which allow you to eliminate bubbles without removing all the varnish. Their principle of action is based on dissolving the upper damaged layer and leveling the subsequent lower ones. Such proofreaders can be purchased in specialized stores, guided by the advice of sales consultants.

In this case, it is worth trying to carefully grind the surface of the plates with a special nail file. Proper preparation for application almost always guarantees a result without defects.

1. Purchasing a product from a new manufacturer, be sure to test for its durability, drying speed and other important points. Having studied all the properties of the varnish, you can avoid unpleasant flaws such as swelling, cracks and small bubbles.
2. Carrying out coating at home, always keep the components fresh, store them in the right place, avoid any contact with water until completely dry.
3. Apply the product in the thinnest possible layer., firmly pressing the brush to the nail plate. Make sure the brush is not too hard. Never wash it with water.
4. Do not use formulations that have expired. They can have a normal density and lie down well, but the effect of their application will be less. In addition, the risk of damage to the nails by individual components of the varnish increases.
