Painted my nails like this today (Essie's Full Steam Ahead) and I applied my top coat and it bubbled! Anything that I can do to make sure my nail polish doesn't bubble?

Not sure you can see the bubbles very well, but they are on every nail and some have popped!

Have you tried a base coat then put on the nail polish then apply top coat?? Or maybe just try other nail polish but I do know that Essie nail polish is pretty good hopes this helps.

Try to be sure you let each coat dry before applying another. Sometimes that can cause bubbles.

Shake the nail polish before you use it.

You have applied the top coat when the coat wasnt dry enough. let it dry a little longer :)

Don't shake the polish, roll it in between your hands.

Omggggg I had the same problem and then I discovered that it depends on the top coat you put. I put this sally Hansen acrylic clear coat and it made like 3 of my last manicures bubble up whereas using a regular clear coat didn't.

I agree with it depends on your topcoat. Sally Hansen bubbled on me, so for the last 5 years I have religiously used Essie's Good To Go. It's amazing, quick drying high shine top coat with no bubbles. Cost about $10 but lasts me about 2-3 months.

If you did the coat too thick that can cause bubbles.

I've had a couple Revlon basecoats that caused my polish to bubble.

If you shake the bottle, you should try putting in your hands and turn from side to side.

If you naked the coats to thick off put on too many layers it will do that. try to shake the polish before used also and use less polish. cute color.
