Ok lets think...how to have no bubbles lol

First make sure you spread the hairs of your brush in the monomer dish so to remove air bubbles trapped in the brush itself
Try not to work to wet, mix ratio has to be good
do not pat the product, push it about gentle instead

the product you use makes a massive difference i've never used cnd so cant comment but young nails and nsi give you very few air bubbles also let each bead settle before you begin but include this with the advice from nails2 nails and you'll see a big difference.

Hi hun, welcome to geek ville:hug:
Emmsy babe had this problem a while back and what it boiled down to was this.
When you first put your brush in, you put it all the way to the bottom and spread the brush so as to burp it, then you wipe your brush on the side, however many times for your ratio of product pick up. Now what Emmsy was doing was dipping her brush all the way to the bottom again when she redipped and that was adding air bubbles, so burp brush, wipe on the side, drag into acrylic apply product, pat/push into place, then when you go back to the monimor make sure you don't touch bottom just dip in and wipe.
I hope that made sense, if that doesn't do it then I'm out:lol:
Oh your brush needs replacing when you can't form a proper bead with it. So long as you get good sized beads no problems.:hug:
