"Clear topcoat creates color changing effects."
I saw this display at Rite Aid and it drew my interest. Plus the bottles are like tiny barbells. :P
To apply the polish you unscrew it as seen below, but the other bottle is still attached. It made the brush heavier, but not any more difficult to manuever and polish with. This polish had great opacity and it's only one coat pictured below.
There is no name for this color on the bottle, but it's a dark foily purple.
The clear side has a striper as the brush. You can then create designs. Wherever the clear polish goes, the polish turns darker.
Both before topcoat and after topcoat sections are quite shiny.
It's very metallic and cool.
This was a different day that I experimented with it.
And yes, your next question is: Can you not wear a topcoat then? Do all topcoats make the polish change? And the answer is yes. I tested with every clear topcoat I have in my stash and they all changed the polish. Orly Sec N Dry, Seche Vite, Gelous, Cult Nails Wicked Fast, Essie Good to Go.
It's a neat novelty polish, but I'm not sure just how much I'll use it. Perhaps because of it's opacity it will make a good stamping polish? I'll have to try that!

How fun! I was wondering what this polish was all about
ReplyDeleteCrazy! Very cool - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletei was thiiiiis close to getting this! good to know that all top coats change it! did you try a matte one?
ReplyDeletethis one keeps calling to me,... love how you used it!
ReplyDeleteoh man, i was sold right up until you said "no topcoat". what a shame!
ReplyDeleteso pretty
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and different! I'll have to look into this.
ReplyDeleteNice! Very interesting indeed. I do think I would hate it that the bottle is still attached to the brush..
ReplyDeleteHmm I'm not sure about these polishes. I don't like that the clear topcoat is still attached to the brush, I can see that getting irritating. I also don't like the fact that you can't topcoat after you've made the design. I think it's a neat idea for people who want to create nail art without too much fuss but I wouldn't see me using it very often.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review - I LOVE your blog!
