Many women beautiful manicure allows you to make the image complete. Modern industry provides a wide range of tools: varnishes, different in colors, shades, texture, a huge number of design options. However, repaint nails every day is quite problematic. The desired variety will allow you to get thermo lacquer.
What it is?
Thermolac for nails appeared not very long ago. He began to produce in 2011. Due to its peculiarity, the means received its name to change color depending on temperature. The composition of the varnish introduced special substances that are sensitive to ambient temperature. As a result, the coating applied to the nails can change color if you just get out of the room outside in cool weather. The lower the temperature, the darker the varnish will be. Therefore, such a coating is particularly preferable in the autumn-winter period and in early spring, when each exit to the street will provide a change in the color of the manicure. In addition, the shade of varnish will vary at the tips of the nails and at their base.
The longer the nails, the lower the temperature will be at their tips, and the darker they will be, and the nails will have a beautiful gradient effect.
Because of their ability to change color, thermolaks are sometimes mistakenly called chameleons. But chameleons are varnishes that change color depending on the angle of incident light, the ambient temperature has no effect on them.
Manufacturers offer a huge range of thermolaks. They can be glossy, matte, pearl. They may contain shimmer or matte blotches to create different effects. Their color palette is wide. However, when choosing a color, the tool can create certain difficulties: the color that you see in a transparent bottle does not necessarily correspond to the color that you get when applied to your nails.
Chamomile, showing the color palette of the product, will also be useless. Therefore, manufacturers put in the package insert, showing the range of shades of a particular product, and this insert needs to pay attention.
The color shades that appear when the temperature changes can be very different. Often varnish changes shade within the range of colors: from light blue to dark blue or purple, from pale yellow to bright orange, from pink to crimson. But there are other options when the varnish can change colors to contrast: from yellow to purple or chocolate, from white or red to black.
The effect of varnish begins to appear only after its complete drying on the nails.
