- Don’t shake your polish bottle. Try rolling it between the palms of your hands instead. Shaking the polish vigorously creates a bazillion little bubbles that you can’t see… until they rise! If you absolutely have to shake the bottle to mix your color, do so and then wait about half an hour so all the bubbles can surface before you start your mani.
- Avoid thick polish. The thicker the polish, the longer bubbles will take to surface. A new bottle of polish is thinner and the bubbles rise quicker. You can add a couple drops of polish remover to thin out thick polish, but just remember that adding acetone/remover weakens the bond between the polish and your nail. AKA: it will probably start to chip sooner.
- Keep the lids on your polish. Sometimes we forget to screw the lids down while doingnail art or cleaning up the cuticles. The longer you leave the lid off, the more air gets in and the more the polish will thicken and thick polish is a bubble trap!
- Use a base coat. I don’t think I’ve ever seen bubbles in a base coat. Have you? Laying a proper foundation for your polish is a must when trying to avoid bubbles.
- Do your nails in a cool, dry place. If you’re body temp is up, heat will radiate and can actually cause polish bubbles. If temperatures are high where you are, try using a small fan to dry/cool your nails right after polish is applied. Soaking or running your hands in cold water and then drying them before you start painting can also help if it’s hot out.
- Let the first coat dry completely. I’ve noticed that with some polishes, you have to let the first coat fully dry before applying the second coat to avoid bubbles. If you don’t have time to let the first coat dry entirely, at least make sure you’re using a polish with a “quick dry” label.
- Lift the brush as little as possible. On your first coat, try doing long strokes instead of short quick strokes with the brush. I find that the quicker shorter strokes will push air into the polish. If you need to do short quick strokes to get to a certain spot, do it on the second round after the first coat dries all the way.

How-To Video – Rizzieri NJ Beauty Schools - All Day Straight Hair
Rizzieri NJ Beauty Schools – The professionals at Rizzieri NJ Beauty Schools know that many of today’s most fashionable hair styles call for smooth, straight hair. If you’ve ever wondered how to get this look without visiting one of the salons, and make it last all-day, watch our video to learn more!
If your hair is frizzy and curly and you would like to have straight hair all day, this video will show you how you can do it without visiting one of the hair salons in New Jersey each time!
How to Get All Day Straight Hair - Rizzieri NJ Beauty Schools
Start by using a high quality smoothing shampoo and conditioner, specifically Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Smooth Infusion Conditioner from Rizzieri NJ Beauty Schools, one of the best hair salons in New Jersey. This will set the stage for fantastically straight hair you don’t have to visit one of the hair salons in New Jersey to get! Then, you are ready to prep for styling. At this point, it is essential to smooth the hair and protect it from heat styling, so you will want to use Style Prep Smoother. (All of these high-quality products can be purchased at Rizzieri NJ Beauty Schools.)
 Three to four pumps of Style Prep Smoother is just right for medium length hair. Apply it and then comb through the hair to distribute it evenly.
Now you’re ready to style the hair. To give it that all day straightness and shine you’re used to getting from your hair salon, use Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener. First, section the hair in two for best results. You might need more glossing straightener in the back where the hair is thicker. For coarse hair, apply the straightener from roots to ends. If you have medium texture hair, you’ll want to apply it from midlength to ends. After doing the back, add straightener to the front of the hair. Then comb through the hair to distribute the Glossing Straightener evenly. (again, this can be purchased at Rizzieri NJ Beauty Schools, one of the best hair salons in New Jersey.)
Although this sounds like a long process, if you follow these instructions and practice a couple of times, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make that straight, gorgeous hair that you’ve been envisioning with out visiting one of the many Hair Salons in New Jersey. Visit Rizzieri NJ Beauty Schools to purchase these products or get a personalized consultation!

Rizzieri New Jersey Cosmetology School and Aveda – tips for men’s longer, curly hair
At the Rizzieri New Jersey cosmetology school we often get questions about how to manage men’s longer, curly hair. Here are some tips from Aveda.
Aveda’s Kurt Keuffner, Director of Men’s Education at Aveda, gives classic how-to styling tips and tricks for men’s long curly hair. Keuffner recommends using Aveda Men Pure-formance™ Shampoo and Conditioner, Liquid Pomade and Aroma Spray.
Start with Aveda Men pure-formance shampoo and conditioner to get cleaned, conditioned, healthy hair. But then you need to choose the right styling product(s) based on your hair length, hair texture, hair pigment, and styling objective.
This video, offered by Aveda and the Rizzieri New Jersey cosmetology school, shows how to style longer wavy or curly hair.
As you just heard, moisture content matters when you are getting ready to style your hair. If your hair is too dry, it will be difficult to apply your styling products evenly. But if your hair is too wet, it will dilute your products and compromise your styling results.
With dark hair, the Aveda Liquid Pomade is ideal. But don’t worry about selecting the right products. The students and stylists at the Rizzieri New Jersey Cosmetology School are here to help! We can recommend what’s right for you and provide tips on styling.
Let us here at the Rizzieri New Jersey cosmetology school show you how Aveda products for men, plus the proper techniques will get you the results you are looking for.
