Instead of shaking the bottle of polish before using it, roll it back and forth between your palms. That should eliminate the possibility of those little bubbles.
If your polish is too thick, add a drop or two of nail polish remover, shake the bottle, wait ten minutes before applying.
Normally, organic solutions (such as nail polish -- I assume you are not using a water based nail polish) do not foam very much. The most likely cause of the "blistering" -- that is the buzz word for what you are experiencing -- is entrapment of volatile solvent in the first layer. The second coat forms a skin over the first. As the residual solvent in the first layer tries to escape it is trapped under the partially dried top layer.
Small solvent bubbles are trapped and cause the partially dried top layer to blister, or even pop. in extreme cases. One cure for this is PATIENCE. Wait a longer time after the first layer is applied before applying the second coat. Applying a thinner layer ofthe first coat also helps, because the solvent in a thin layer evaporates faster than the solvent in a thicker coat. As a rule you can apply a very thin first layer, since
you are going to apply a top coat anyway. I am no expert here, but what happens if the first coat is just clear polish? I would expect that it would dry faster, and cost less, without sacrificing the color of the nails significantly -- may be a good experiment to try.

Apply it in the middle part of your nail. First apply has thick polish on the brush so you wanna apply it in the middle. Then work your way through each side by spreading it from the middle. You should be able to have even layers. Also clean your nails before applying nail polish. Should be free from previous nail polish goo.

Pour a little nail polish remover into the nail polish bottle and shake. This will help thin out the polish. It sounds like it might be old polish too, so you may want to buy a new bottle.

Pour a little nail polish remover into the nail polish bottle, and give it a good shake. That should thin it out a little.

I think that the nail polish you're using is too cheap. Buy yourself some better polish (try a name brand type, OPI or something like that) and then see if it does the same thing

Maybe you should try a different brand of nail polish. If the polish is cheap and thick then it is going to do that no matter what you do. Try OPI.
