Frequently Asked Questions
How does thermal nail polish work?
Thermal nail polish contains thermochromic pigments that react to temperature changes, causing the color to shift from one shade to another as your body temperature or ambient temperature fluctuates.
How long does the thermal effect last?
The thermal effect lasts as long as the gel polish is on your nails. Its responsiveness to temperature will remain consistent throughout the wear time, typically 2-3 weeks.
Will my entire nail change color at once?
Often, your nail tips (being cooler) will be one color, while the nail bed (closer to your body temperature) will be another, creating a beautiful ombré effect. Rapid temperature changes can cause the whole nail to shift.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
While the thermal effect is more pronounced on medium to long nails where there's more surface area for the color transition, it can still look lovely on shorter nails, offering a more subtle, two-tone effect.
Can I achieve a photo-real finish at home?
Achieving a professional photo-real finish typically requires advanced application techniques, high-quality salon products, and a precise curing process, making salon application highly recommended for this specific look.
Does heat or cold damage the polish?
No, the polish is designed to withstand typical temperature fluctuations. Extreme heat or cold won't damage the polish, though prolonged exposure to very high temperatures might temporarily 'lock' it into one color state.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Wear gloves when doing household chores or gardening to protect your manicure.
- ✓Moisturize hands regularly, paying attention to the nail area.
- ✓Do not pick or peel off your gel polish; seek professional removal.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully scrape off softened gel with a wooden stick, then lightly buff any remaining residue.
