  • Thermal nail polish (purple/lavender or navy/sky blue)
  • Base coat
  • Top coat
  • Nail file
  • Cuticle pusher
  • Nail polish remover
  1. Prep nails: File, buff, and push back cuticles for a clean base.
  2. Apply base coat: Ensure a smooth surface for the thermal polish.
  3. Apply 2-3 thin coats of thermal polish: Allowing each coat to dry completely before the next. Thinner coats ensure even color change.
  4. Clean up edges: Use a small brush dipped in nail polish remover to refine the edges for a photo-real look.
  5. Apply top coat: Seal the design with a glossy top coat for shine and longevity.
  6. Allow to dry completely: For the best results, allow at least 30 minutes for your nails to fully dry, or use quick-dry drops.

Expert Tip

Apply thin, even coats of the thermal polish to ensure a smooth and even color change. Avoid thick coats, as they may not react as effectively to temperature changes.
