Why does my polish keep bubbling up like this? I shake em well and I do thin boats and wait for them to be completely dry before a second coat?? I redid them twice last night and woke up with bubbles yet again. Advice??

Maybe you're shaking too much? :/ I tend to roll, not shake.

Are you using a base coat? Mine does that when it's hot and humid.

Mine does that when its hot or the nail polish is thick. or maybe it could just be the brand you're using.:)

Don't shake. Shaking causes tiny air bubbles to form in the polish, which will end up on the nail. Also, if it is too hot and/or humid, paint (of any kind, not just nail polish) won't dry correctly. One other thing that may cause bubbling is mixing 3-Free and non 3-Free polishes and base/top coats.

Use a good base coat and yep roll not shake and don't apply nail poliah where there is direct air.

Also you could try keeping your nail polish in the fridge to keep them cool plus if the polish is to think then put a bit of nail polish remover in the polish and roll the nail polish to mix it. Hope this helps :) xx
