Why nail polish blistering and how to avoid it?

Beautiful manicure is an essential attribute of a stylish well-groomed woman. However, it happens that, having covered the nails with a decorative lacquer, you suddenly see that it starts to bubble. Then you have to refresh the manicure again. Let us dwell on the reasons why this happens.

Specialists in nail decor claim that even a not cheap well-known brand lacquer can begin to bubble at any moment, There are a number of reasons for this.

• Shaking the bottle. Many women shake the bottle with lacquer vertically, this causes air to get into it, which then leads to the appearance of ugly bubbles.
• Water. If moisture penetrates the package with a decorative coating, it often becomes the reason that bubbles form on the surface.
• By the way, wet hands can also be a frequent cause of bubbles. If you washed your hands shortly before the manicure, then you should dry them as thoroughly as possible - the skin has a peculiarity to absorb water, and after a while it starts to give it back. The same thing happens with the nail plates, an excessive amount of moisture causes abundant air bubbles and significantly worsens the appearance of the coating.
• Fat. If your nails were greasy, then you will not get a good manicure, because only carefully degreased nails can be the basis of any durable coating. If you do not do this, then it is likely that the varnish will fall very badly and will blister during drying.

• Extra layers. Some women in an attempt to get the desired shade of lacquer applied too many layers, this is contrary to the recommended technology. Ideally, any manicure should include one base layer, a couple of layers of color shade and a fixative. If the number of decorative coatings is greater, especially if they have not been dried well enough, the appearance of bubbles will be inevitable.
• Wrong technique. Illiterate coating technology can also cause hated bubbles. Keep in mind that the brush should fit snugly to the marigold during dyeing; it should be held almost parallel to the plate so that the varnish is applied with light strokes from the very base to the end.
• Defects of the nail plate. Any irregularities, cracks, bumps and flaking detrimental effect on the quality of the manicure. Filling these irregularities with varnish, the brush often leaves quite a lot of air and, as a result, the same bubbles.
• Low quality materials. You should not use the old varnish - it is the place in your bin, and not nails. With long-term storage, the liquid thickens and loses all of its original properties, therefore it falls very badly. If the varnish has thickened, it makes sense to dilute it with special liquids, but if the expiration date has completely expired - then the result of covering with such a composition, even diluted, will be highly doubtful.

So, we have dealt with the reasons. But what if you covered your nails and the nail polish began to bubble? The only option is to wash off a similar coating and apply a new one. It is possible that when applying you missed one of the aspects and when you repeat the manicure will be perfect. For example, you could not dry well and degrease marigolds or apply too many layers.

But there is an alternative option, it is good if you do not have time to update the coating or the varnish has ended. Then stickers will save the situation - they can always be fixed exactly on those places where the varnish is bubbling too intensely. If you don’t have such stickers at hand, then the composition of a contrasting color can depict a pattern, say, chaotic abstract patterns with a wooden toothpick or a thin brush.

In order that you do not have to come up with options for masking unaesthetic bubbles, you just need to follow some simple guidelines.

• Never shake the varnish. If you want to warm it up a little, just roll it a little in your hands or put it in a container with warm water.
• It is not necessary to wash the brush in water after use. It is meaningless, you can not remove the remaining varnish with water, but the moisture will remain, get into the bottle - the result of such application will be the most deplorable.
• Base for manicure and the main tone is better to purchase from one manufacturer. Professionals point out that many compositions of different brands are simply incompatible, which leads to varnish detachment, cracking, blistering and other unpleasant consequences. If you do not have the necessary foundation, apply a clear varnish of the desired brand instead.
• Do not get involved in drying lacquer hair dryer, as do many of the fair sex. This rather quickly destroys the entire structure of the composition and causes the surface to appear bubbly. If you do not have the opportunity to spend time on the natural drying of the surface - the best buy a special express drying, in it the coating freezes in just a few seconds.

• If you apply several layers of the main tone at once, then by all means dry each of them before applying the next one, only in this case your manicure will become aesthetic and durable.
• Do not forget to polish your nails before applying the varnish, especially if you have an uneven plate with pronounced spots and grooves. Usually for this use a buff or a soft nail file.
• Pay attention to the shelf life of the composition, even if you just bought it at the store, there is no guarantee that it hasn't been on the counter for several months. The old composition loses its characteristics, therefore it is not possible to obtain a high-quality coating.
• You should not do a manicure immediately after taking a shower or bath, then the moisture simply does not have time to completely get out of the nails, so air bubbles appear, and not immediately, but after a couple of hours after drying, when you cannot correct the situation.
