Im finding that i am getting bubbles in my acrylic, i use creative pink and white powders, i dont find i get it so much in the white, its more the pink, by the time it come round to doing infills the bubbles have turned into very small black dots, no bigger than a pin prick but its sooooooo annoying, ive tried to warm the liquid, and that has not helped.

Can anyone help ????:cry:
 
Well... even tho I'm a natural nail manicurist and I don't do acrylic... in my training, I was taught that bubbles are caused by air in the product. Most of the time this is caused by over working the product. Also, you could be having too much liquid in your powder-liquid ratio. Sometimes this causes bubbles too.

I can't say much from experience. But this is what I was taught during school.

Maybe someone can elaborate who knows more than I.
 
Make sure you dip your brush fully into the liquid first and rock it gently side to side to eliminate air within the brush first. Make sure you use correct mix ratio - with CND 1 1/2 part liquid to 1 part powder. Count 123 while the product on the brush, place it gently onto the form/tip/nail and count 123 again to allow the bead to settle. do not overwork the bead, use the flags of the brush instead of the belly of the brush, do not pat too much. IMO

hope this helps:hug:

type in bubbles in search and you will find loads of helpfull threads, have a look in tutorials and articles too:)
 
I cannot tell by your profile (as you haven't filled it in) how long you have been doing nails or where you did your training, but if you are getting bubbles in your product then you are not letting the bead rest a second or two before pressing in to place on the nail.

Unless you are using CND Moxi liquid monomer (which is a fast setting liquid) then you will be using a slower setting CND liquid monomer which means you must not work faster than IT does. You must allow the polymerisation process a chance to begin before manipulating the bead.

Quite simple really when you understand the chemistry of the products you work with. Remember there is no such thing as a problem with CND. If you are having some troubles, then they are all solvable by contacting a CND Ambassador and asking.
