Some nail artists shake a tube with gel polish before doing manicure.
They think that they must do that to stir “stagnant” gel. But when you shake the tube, air bubbles in nail polish start forming in it, and when you apply gel polish on the nails, you apply these bubbles too. The only way out is not to shake the tube. Just hold it in the hands, and it’ll become warm.

Gel polish may bubble if you use gel from different companies. The reason is obvious: don’t mix polishes from different producers. No one knows if the coating becomes worse after combining gels from different firms or not, so there’s always some risk.

When you apply a base coating and colorful coatings, follow the technique. You must coat the nails not with two thick colorful layers but four thin layers as only then the coating will be even. Don’t be in a hurry when you’re doing this, as each layer must be thoroughly dried under the lamp.
Gel also may bubble on the nails because of its sell-by date. Always check the sell-by date specified on the tube. Old gel polish becomes thicker.
