I'm always in a rush when doing my nails. I hate waiting for it to dry so I end up with bubbles or an overall, uneven coat when I layer the polish. So this time I decided to keep it simple with only one accent nail- first time doing stripes and I think it turned out alright ^^ Let me know what you guys think.

Also, any tips on how to avoid those annoying little bubbles? Lol Thanks x

I know you said you're always in a rush, but the bubbles are caused by not waiting long enough for it to dry before coats. 10 minutes between coats is usually enough time, if it's not a thick coat. Try thinner coats and wait 10 minutes. :) I know it's a pain in the ass, but it's worth it. You can also find ways of speeding up like ice water.

Ice water sounds like a great idea, will definitely try it next time. I figured maybe it was because I skipped the base coat- again because I didnt want to wait for it to dry lol Thanks Alyx!
