I finally got smart and paid attention to my manicurist…I buff! Use a 4-sided, fine-grit buffing block before polishing. Wash away the “sand,” then you’re good to go. I’ve seen nary a bubble since I learned this.

I always found that when I am impatient and use the hairdryer to speed up the the drying process of my nail polish, that I inevitably end up with bubbles.

I can see how direct sunlight could do it, as I KNOW doing a fresh manicure in excessive heat (like 80 degrees plus) leaves me with bubbles and/or cracks every time.

I have read that your polish will bubble if you let it dry while in direct sunlight!

I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s worth mentioning at least.

Let me bow down to the polish gods!

The vinegar did the trick! I've carefully 'rolled' stayed away from even a slight breeze, waited almost an hour between layers before applying the next coat and still I would get bubbles! That is until the vinegar made them vanish! All gone!Now I love my painted nails!
