Those areas that are smooth on my nails are where I should have added more bubbles before curing.
When it came time to apply the bubbles, I used a fan brush to scoop the bubbles onto the wet blue polish which immediately generated a bubble pattern. Then you add your bubbles! I used dish soap and created my bubbles with a straw. Keep this coat reallllly thin because the thicker it is, the more 3D the bubble design can be which can feel very annoying. Choosing black as a base coat means your "bubble coat" should be a lighter colour so I went with Red Carpet Manicure Sandal Scandal*. Some videos said to use a sticky top coat, but as I only had no wipe I was stuck with that. I cured two coats of black gel polish from J & S Nails followed by curing a no wipe (non-sticky) top coat (IBD Intense Seal). I went with gel polish, but used a peel off base coat underneath as I wasn't sure how these would turn out or whether I would even WANT to keep them on! While most of the tutorials out there use gel polish, this can be done with regular polish, but just takes longer because you have to wait for the bubbles to actually DRY which takes about 5 minutes vs shoving your nails under a lamp and waiting a minute.
