New Manicure Bubbling...Why?

I just did my nails with new products and it's bubbling on some of the nails. I used CND Sticky base coat, OPI Cajun Shrimp (2 coats) and OPI top coat.

I must say I'm not a fan of the OPI top coat. Doesn't give me the high shine and quick dry of Out the Door brand. It's only 3 days and this manicure has bubbled and chipped.

I'm going back to CND Vinyls base and top coat with color in between. I get a full week to ten day out of any manicure.

It could be bubbling for multiple reasons but the only one that comes to mind is your coats may be too thick. bubbling occurs when each coat of polish is too thick and or the polish is to old. I agree with you on not liking the OPI top coat, it is definitely not one of my favorites lol.

It could also be two of the products having a reaction. Also the top coat could have bubbled if it didn't have adequate drying time. I am not a big fan of the OPI top coat either. Hope this helps.

Polish generally bubbles with there are air bubbles in the bottle. if you shake the bottle, it can cause bubbling. try gently rolling the bottle between your hands.

Did you shake the bottle before applying? That can cause bubbling as well, you should roll the polish in your palms instead of shaking it.
