What is Temperature Changing Gel Nail Polish and Why Do We Use Them?

 Color changing nails are nothing new to the nail world, but the polish used to achieve color changing nails goes by a lot of different names.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Colorfeel.

Color changing. Thermal. Ombre. Mood changing. Temperature controlled. 

Whatever you decide to call the polish, it all works the same way — with heat. 

​

What is color changing nail polish?

Color changing nail polish can be lacquer or gel and can transition between two, three, or even four different colors.

Those color transitions happen based on temperature changes. This includes temperature changes with your body, as well as your environment. 

For example, with the Kiara Sky “In The Zone'' polish, your nails could be a bright orange, light orange, or ombre (bright to light orange). 

You’ll notice sudden changes in color changing polish when you’re around water (swimming, showering, washing hands) or when you go from indoors to outdoors (or vice versa).

How do you apply color changing nail polish?

Color changing polish is applied exactly the same way as other nail polishes. That's the beauty of color changing nail polish. It's really beautiful nail art that requires beginner-level skills.

But remember, if you choose to use gel polish, you’ll need to cure your nails and apply a base coat and top coat. Gel polish lasts way longer than lacquer, so these extra steps are definitely worth it.

If you’re new to the world of gel nail polish, we recommend picking up an at-home gel nail kit. These kits include everything you need (lamp, polishes, and more) to complete the perfect manicure from home.

Finding Your Perfect Shift

Pick the best shade for your style or occasion. Subtle transitions like soft pink to lavender shades are great for everyday wear, while dramatic shift like green to blue or orange to red are great for bold looks, and shimmering shades that add a sparkle to any look are ideal for special events.

See the Shift in Action

Before: Your nails look nice but a bit predictable; just one solid color.

After: Your nails are dynamic and mesmerizing! Depending on the environment, watch them shift from one gorgeous hue to another and for an added spark; start your day with a soft lilac crème, and watch it transform as your hands warm up with a sip of a hot coffee, or head outside into the crisp winter air, and watch your nails bloom from lily white to peony pink right before your eyes.

Caring for Color-Shift Gel Nail Polish

Keep your color-changing gel polish bright and long-lasting by sealing it and protecting it using the Luxa top coat to protect the gel color. Wear gloves during household tasks to protect your nails from harsh chemicals and prolonged water exposure, use cuticle oil and hand moisturizer to prevent dryness and cracking, and don’t use nails as tools or expose them to excessive heat.

Follow these steps, and your color change gel polish will stay dazzling for weeks!
