"why does my polish bubble?" solutions to bubbles in polish

 "why are there bubbles in my polish"
 "why is my nail polish bubbling?"

there are only two culprits: hands and polish!!!

(hands)

heat and oil.

---....wash your hands with cold soapy water, apply nail dehydrator (white vinegar for natural nails *and let them dry thoroughly) (...fresh nail for artificial nails by CND: for those who bubble a lot) -- that fixes the problem 99.9% of the time...i had one client that nomatter what i did, she would bubble like crazy...i still to this day do not know why...medication???? i dont know.

"why does my polish get bubbles" avoiding bubbles (in polish)

if you use too many strokes applying polish...it creates bubbles on the nail surface that 'rise' to the surface. this happens when you actively brush over and over and over and 'scrub' the polish on....as you scrub your hair, it creates bubbles in shampoo...you scrub polish and get bubbles in polish.

rotate your brush in the bottle in a clock wise circle to get the bubbles out of the brush....you can see what i mean if you do it with clear polish as a 'test subject'.........(actively apply a bunch of clear on a piece of paper and scrub the polish around on a piece of paper and apply the brush back in the polish and watch how many bubbles are created!!!) when you rotate in a circle, it gets the bubbles out of the brush.

my advice...start with clean and cool nails and learn how to use your polish "calmly"

if you do get one nasty little bubble...have a pin near you (my bubble pin i have on a magnet on my lamp on my desk) just take it and pop it in the middle when the polish is tacky and then wet your finger and gently gently run over the bubble a few times and it should smooth right on out.

so!....dip your brush calmly, apply polish calmly and topcoat calmly.....the acrylic paint, you can be more wild! hahahahaha :)

p.s. if you tried it all and its just no help..maybe you have a crappy bottle of polish and try another! if its the polish..throw it away and get a fabulous one! xoxoxo haha

how much do you charge?

price is a personal preference. people i know charge in many different ways. i charge by 15 minute time gaps. it keeps me on time for my next client (which is very important) and allows them to decide whether or not they want to pay extra. i give them all a general time. all extra is made in advance and blocked out for their next appointment schedule.

it all is very personal. if it takes you 4 hours to paint marylin monroe, but your client loves it.........its different than someone who paints her in 20 minutes and their client leaves unhappy...(even if it was way cheaper)......its about quality, time, and being fair..... being honest and being real about the situation, the economy and so forth..........having happy clients who come back has no really dollar amount....some art i do takes 10 minutes and its the clients favorite design of their life...

just know:.........happy clients come back, they dont if you charge too much and prove them with little effort. they come back more if you provide extra effort even if they arent exactly thrilled with your end result...people love when you TRY to make them happy.

happy fun clients are hard to find. so, charging less and practicing and having a good time promotes happiness and having a gang of happy clients is wise because they come back and make YOUR JOB less of a job...unhappy ones pay more maybe..but they arent regulars and you cant wait for them to leave and every single moment it feels like your job is hell.
xoxoxoox


thats what i charge.

today i decided to do something opposite of marylin monroe because i knew she would be so loved and i cannot top certain things...so i am taking it back down to where i am comfortable and having fun. ive been up very late at nights thinking of valentines nails and getting them drawn out for camera. i got a new light bulb for my desk lamp too so maybe the colors will come out better on film now..i donno. its good to try new things. for those of you guys who are passing out my blog, my videos, my pictures and subscribing to my work, i cannot thank you enough. i am watching my goals manifest.

this past week has brought me so many great things that you will see coming in the future but i cannot say yet! i am excited though and its just the beginning, hell its not even warm out yet! :) much love and more on wednesday.
