Acrylic Bubbles?

[Liljenren]

Hey everyone.

I have recently gained a qualification in Acrylics so am basically just practising as much as I can.

When I am using clear acrylic though once i've done everything (buffed, filed etc) its like you can see bubbles in there?

Is it just air trapped in the acrylic? How do I stop it doing this? Just pat it more or something when I lay it on?

Any help would be good thanks

Which product range are you using? It doesn't say in your profile.

It sounds as if you're either overworking the product and/or using a wetter mix ratio than needed.

Bubbles form in all L&P products during the polymerisation process. (I presume you are using L&P as you only say acrylic and as all nail products are acrylic - gels and wraps too - then I'm not quite sure).

The trick is to let that process take place for a few seconds before you start to pat and press the bead into place. Take a deep breath and allow the bead to settle for a moment.

The more you pat and press and manoeuvre the product, the more likely you are to end up with bubbles particularly in zone 2 where the product is thicker. I imagine this is the area in which you are seeing them. So work efficiently with your brush and take control and you won't have to pat pat pat so much.
