Nail Polish Tips

I realize that I've been getting lots of air bubbles after painting my nails, which makes them look cheap and poorly done, I've figured out what makes them look like this, and how to avoid this. A few of my nails look professionally done, but most look spotty and ugly. I tried the tips in bold because those were the tips that I wasn't doing the first time and that solved my problems, therefore making the air bubbles POP the second time I painted my nails. Here are some tips in case you have these problems too:

• Paint on thinner layers (multiple thin layers rather than less thick layers)- before i painted very thick layers, and thinner layers fixed it! [:
• Don't shake bottle before applying, roll in hands- I shook the bottle due to lack of paint.
• If applying base coat, wait for it to dry COMPLETELY- I do not use a base coat
• Allow coats to dry completely before painting next coat- I waited very little time because N.Y.C. dries quickly but doesn't harden quickly, which makes a difference
• Use thick top coat- I used a thick top coat both trials

Also, I have one complaint about the N.Y.C. brand. After removing the polish with Nail Polish Remover (I used CVS brand "regular polish remover") it turned my nails off-color and you could tell there was a dark color polish on my nails previously. Not to mention that there was nail polish residue stuck in between the nail edge and the skin (not that I tried so hard to remove it). So it looks good and stays on nails, but removing the N.Y.C. polish shows it at its worst. I would recommend removing the polish ahead of time in case you need to remove it for an occasion of some sort, otherwise it will look messy and dirty.
