Frequently Asked Questions

How does thermal nail polish work?

Thermal polishes contain special pigments that react to temperature changes, causing the color to shift. Typically, they have a 'cold' color and a 'warm' color.

How long does the color-changing effect last?

The color-changing effect of thermal polish will last as long as the polish remains on your nails. Its reactivity doesn't diminish over time.

Is the color change very noticeable?

Yes, especially with varying temperatures. You'll observe subtle or dramatic shifts when moving between warm and cool environments, or even just holding a cold drink.

Can I choose specific thermal color combinations?

Absolutely! Thermal polishes come in a wide range of sophisticated color combinations, allowing you to select a shift that perfectly matches your personal style.

Will the 'photo-real' finish remain glossy and chip-free?

With proper application of a high-quality non-wipe gel top coat and consistent aftercare, your photo-real finish will remain incredibly glossy and chip-resistant for weeks.

Is this design durable for daily wear?

Yes, when applied as a professional salon-quality gel manicure, this design is exceptionally durable and resistant to chipping and wear, perfect for everyday sophistication.
