- Thermal Gel Polish (two-tone blend)
- Gel Base Coat
- No-Wipe Gel Top Coat
- Fine Ombre Brush or Sponge
- LED/UV Curing Lamp
- Nail Cleanser/Wipe
- Prepare nails (file, push back cuticles, buff, cleanse).
- Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure for 30-60 seconds under LED/UV lamp.
- Apply your chosen thermal gel polish, either by applying the base color first and then softly blending the accent color onto the tips or by applying both colors to different sections of the nail and blending with an ombre brush for a seamless, photo-real gradient. Cure each color layer fully.
- Repeat the thermal gel application for a second coat, focusing on enhancing the gradient and achieving full opacity, then cure again.
- Finish with a generous layer of no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring even coverage and a high-gloss shine. Cure for 60-90 seconds.
- Wipe nails with a lint-free wipe if top coat isn't no-wipe, and apply cuticle oil for hydration.
Expert Tip
Achieving that photo-real gradient requires patience and a light hand. Use very small amounts of polish and blend with quick, feathery strokes or a tapping motion with a sponge for the most seamless, airbrushed transition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the thermal effect last?
The thermal effect lasts as long as your manicure does, typically 2-3 weeks, continuously responding to temperature changes.
What causes the color to change?
Thermal gel polish contains special pigments that react to temperature fluctuations. Your body temperature, the air, and even holding a cold drink can trigger the change.
Can I get this design in any color combination?
While we offer specific elegant thermal color combinations, consult with your artist for available thermal gel polish shades that align with this design's aesthetic.
Is thermal gel polish safe for my nails?
Yes, when applied and removed by a professional, high-quality thermal gel polish is as safe as traditional gel polish.
Will the color change be very dramatic?
The change is noticeable and dynamic, creating a beautiful gradient as the temperature shifts. For this elegant design, the transition is smooth and sophisticated rather than stark.
How often should I get a fill for this design?
We recommend fills every 2-3 weeks to maintain the integrity of the gel and the beauty of the thermal gradient as your natural nails grow.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to maintain nail health and appearance.
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures immediately after application.
- ✓Schedule infills every 2-3 weeks to keep your thermal gradient looking pristine.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel polish with a wood stick, never forcing or scraping.
