Nail Polish Fixes

Preventing air bubbles 

Don’t shake your polish bottle. Try rolling it between the palms of your hands instead. Shaking the polish vigorously creates  several  little bubbles that you can’t see… until they rise! If you absolutely have to shake the bottle to mix your color, do so and then wait about half an hour so all the bubbles settle.

 

Dried Nail Polish

Opening it: Fill a cup with hot water. Holding the nail polish bottle from the bottom, submerge the top in the water and hold it there for a few minutes. This will loosen the dried nail polish. Then wrap a rubber band around the cap and twist it open with ease.
Prevent it: Next time you finishing painting your nails, clean up the rim of the bottle with a little polish remover to prevent drips from drying in the cap and when you do see dried polish on the cap, peel it off with tweezers.

Sticky  or Thick Nail Polish

Fix it: To restore your nail polish to its original consistency do the following:

Step1.Remove the lid of the nail polish and add one to two drops of acetone nail polish remover or nail polish thinner. Both can be purchased at local beauty stores.

Step 2.Replace the lid and shake the nail polish well. Wait 15 to 20 minutes before using.
Prevent it: Store your nail polish in a cool, dark and dry place .Away from moisture and sunlight. Keeping your nail polish away from warm temperatures and temperature changes is the easiest way to prevent your polish from premature consistency change.Also prevent air from getting inside by closing the cap tightly.Keep the lid on your polish. Sometimes we forget to screw the lids down while doing nail art.The longer you leave the lid off, the more air gets in and the more the polish will thicken and thick polish is a bubble trap!

 Hard to Apply Nail Polish:

There is very little I find more annoying than coming home with a brand new bottle of polish only to find out it doesn’t apply well.Some common issues with the formulation of polishes are polishes that come out too thin, polishes that do not layer well, polishes that are too thick, and polish that bubble.

 1.Polish is coming out too thin:
Applying a very light base of a white or other neutral color will serve as a more opaque base and allow the color to show up stronger.

2. Polishes is not layering well:
That is in  when applying the second coat of polish you are seeing a lot of white spots, be sure to allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second coat. that you  I find that around 5 minutes will do the trick. Try doing your nails while watching TV so that you wont mind the wait.
Another trick:Do all your nails one by one,then go for the second coat.
3.Polish is coming out too thick: 
 Try using the same tips listed about for fixing old nail polishes.That is  add  nail thinner or acetone. Again, be cautious not to apply too much polish remover. Be sure to roll, not  shake the bottles well before applying again.
