HEYLOVE Tint Base – How to Prevent Bubbles
HEYLOVE Tint Base – How to Prevent Bubbles
Bubbles can occur in any liquid. Their formation is not determined by the formula or ingredients, but by the material’s viscosity. This is a fundamental principle of physics.
In low-viscosity liquids such as water, bubbles dissipate quickly on their own. In contrast, more viscous materials — such as honey or builder gel — tend to retain air much longer, allowing bubbles to remain suspended within the product.
The same applies to base products. If the brush is handled abruptly or inserted too quickly into the bottle, it can unintentionally introduce air into the material. In this case, the brush effectively acts like a mixer, incorporating air and creating bubbles. This is especially relevant for products packaged in bottles with an integrated brush.
For this reason, always work with controlled, gentle brush movements. Extra care is required when the bottle is new and completely full.
During the development of HEYLOVE Tint Base, viscosity was a key parameter. A medium-viscosity formula was intentionally selected because it provides several practical advantages:
- the material remains stable and does not run or flood;
- application lines stay precise without additional effort;
- the technician can comfortably build the nail architecture and evaluate it under light reflection;
- there is no need for an additional layer to refine the structure or camouflage the free edge.
All production process is designed to minimize air incorporation at every stage — from pigment dispersion to bottling — ensuring a stable, high-quality product.
What to do if bubbles appear?
Loosen the cap without removing the brush and leave the bottle in a warm (not hot) environment overnight. Alternatively, place the bottle in a plastic bag and immerse it in warm water up to the shoulder level.
In a warm environment, molecular movement increases, which accelerates the release of trapped air. Since air is less dense than the material, it naturally rises to the surface.
