Invisible Ink

I had this idea that I wanted to use my color changing polish in a marble to see the effect that it would have on the look.  Well, it turned out nothing like I saw it in my head--and the polish was actually hard to work with in the water.  (That is the thing about water marbling: you may have the best idea and color choices that you want to use, but they might not disperse right in the water or dry to fast to get a good marble.  I get sad sometimes about that.  Typically I have found sparkles and metallics have a hard time for marbling.  Now I'm adding color changing polish to that list)  Anyway, even though it didn't turn out like I saw in my head, I thought this was actually a kind of cool result.  Since it's mostly hot here now, and the color changing polish didn't spread a lot in the water (which means less on the nail), you don't really get a chance to see the darker color this polish when looking at this manicure.  I feel like I have a secret hidden in my polish and that kind of excited me!  You may never see it, but I know it's there (and I'll see it every time I run my hands under cold water and want to see a surprise).

First I base coated my nails with OPI Skinny Dip'N in Lake Michigan.  I used China Glaze Tinsel, Sexy Silhouette and Claire's Daring/Innocent Mood Changing Polish for the three marble colors.  I used two coats of Seche Vite to finish the look.

Here is my mood polishes with an addition of a Konad design.

I added Essie Hello Yello with Konad Plate m60 with one coat of Seche Vite.

This post is for a current fad of mood changing nail polishes.  I had seen these polishes on other sites and wanted to try them for myself and was fortuitously at the mall and stopped in at Claire's to pick a few bottles up to try them out.  They actually work pretty awesomely (even with base and top coat).  These are the two colors I picked out side-by-side on my nails.

This is a depiction of how the colors come out from the bottle:

This is the start of the "mood changing" effect changing from purple to pink and grey/green to yellow:

The colors are found at Claire's and I bought Calm/Wild and Daring/Innocent.  Unfortunately there isn't a page on their website, but you can find more out about their other products and trends here.
