Why Are There Bubbles in My Acrylic Nails? Causes & Solutions

Question
I have pink and white acrylic nails, what causes bubbles?I I have tiny dots in the white.

Answer
Your nail tech has air in her brush. When the brush is dipped into the liquid, it needs to be pushed down, against the bottom or side of the dish to allow air caught between the brush bristles to be released so that the liquid can be absorbed by the brush.

When the white acrylic is applied it needs to be pressed down a little firmer to release the liquid that is stored in the brush bristles so that it can saturate the powder.

It's more difficult to see air bubbles in the white because it's opaque, so sometimes you think the acrylic went on nice and smooth, but when you file you get pits where you've uncovered air pockets.
