I do mine at home, and I've never run into that problem. Im also pretty compulsive about my nails... but I suggest on perhaps applying more pressure when putting on the acrylic. I hope you find the answer :)

I do my own as well. You might need a fuller brush and just pack on your powder and press when applying? One or the other.

the most common issue is your ratio is wrong. the liquid is not penetrating the powder completely and therefore creating pockets for air or there's air in the brush. I would watch videos on YouTube to get an idea of creating a good acrylic bead to apply to nail.

Sometimes it's the powder your using. Cheaper kinds tend to be not as fine and leave air bubbles.
