    • The shades of the varnish cannot change dramatically - you won’t get red from green. But if you apply more layers to the tip of the nail, the color will smoothly transition into another. Manufacturers are rapidly expanding their range. Now there is an interesting black and white and black and red thermal varnish. And soon we hope to get even more original contrasting shades.
    • Do not apply too thick layers. This will make the thermal effect weaker.
    • There is no need to dry the coating under the rays of a lamp!
    • If the product in the bottle has thickened, the liquid will no longer help correct the situation. When diluted, the varnish will lose its quality.
    • The temperature of the nail plate is heterogeneous in different areas. It is higher near the cuticle, and slightly lower near the tip of the nail. Sensitive temolaks respond to this by creating a beautiful gradient design.
    • To change the color of the varnish, you can put your hands in cold (or vice versa, warm) water. Sometimes it's enough to pick up a cup of hot tea.
    • Leave 1-2 mm between the cuticle and the chameleon layer to allow oxygen to reach the nail.
    • It is necessary to remove the varnish with a regular liquid without acetone.
    • If the temperature rises, the varnish becomes lighter, and when the temperature drops, it darkens.
    • In the bottle you will not be able to accurately guess the color and its shades. The instructions and pictures on the insert will tell you this better.

    Chameleon effect

    Thermo gel polish contains components that can respond to temperature changes. When it increases, the shade of the coating brightens, and when it decreases, it becomes darker. Thus, the product constantly changes its tone, regardless of the time of day or season.

    The nail plate has an unequal temperature over its area - the ends are colder compared to the central part, so the coating is never monochromatic. The chameleon effect is also influenced by the length of the nails. On short nails it is less pronounced, but on long nails the shade transitions look fantastic.

    In some cases, shades may vary greatly. In a warm place, the coating can become almost white; in a cold place, it becomes dark. The uniqueness of thermo gel polish is that it combines contrasting shades, which gives a striking effect. For example, from pink in the cold it becomes blue in the heat.

    What is thermovarnish and how it works?

    The very name of the product suggests that its action is somehow related to heat or temperature. The mechanism of action of the varnish is based on a change in shade depending on the ambient temperature. The composition of the product contains particles that react to the ambient temperature and to the temperature of the fingers themselves.

    Thermal varnishes are presented in various color variations: from white to purple. However, it is quite difficult to guess what the color will be at a certain temperature and how it will change. Thermal varnishes are usually sold with inserts that show results at different temperatures. Dark shades will help to visually lengthen short nails, while light shades will visually hide the imperfections of the plate.

    When buying a chameleon varnish, pay attention to this point: when the temperature rises, the coating becomes lighter, and when the temperature drops, on the contrary, it darkens. This varnish is ideal for the off-season, when the difference between the house and the street will be especially noticeable. The peculiarity of thermovarnish is that the free edge of the nail is usually darker than the nail plate itself, since it does not receive heat from the fingers

    This creates the effect of a French manicure. Remember that the coating will inevitably draw attention to your hands, so all nails should be the same length, neatly filed and processed. The color of the coating may vary in different areas of the nail plate.

    Advantages and disadvantages

    Nail design made with a special varnish has the following advantages:

    • the coating changes shades, so the manicure looks renewed in different weather conditions;
    • ease of application and drying;
    • wide palette of colors;
    • Thermo shellac retains lasting tinting for up to 2-4 weeks;
    • the material is economical when applied;
    • affordable price;
    • manufacturers produce formulations enriched with minerals and plates;
    • Can be applied to your own or artificial nails.

    The list of shortcomings is as follows:

    • you will need to take breaks between coats of varnish to prevent damage to the nail plate;
    • a UV lamp is required to fix the multilayer coating;
    • must be performed;
    • This type of varnish is not suitable for decorating short nails.

    Preparation for manicure and technology

    Girls should distinguish between a classic thermovarnish and one that is based on a gel. In the first case, the substance is not much different from classic varnish, and therefore stays on the nails for three to four days. This substance can be removed with acetone.

    There is no need to contact a specialist to apply conventional thermovarnish.

    You just need to do a manicure (pay special attention to the shape of the nails) and cover with a base substance. After waiting for it to dry completely, you can begin applying thermovarnish.

    To create a more durable manicure, it is recommended to go to a salon: the master will do the job not only efficiently, but also quickly. Those interested can try to carry out a similar procedure at home, but for this they will need:

    • Primer (degreaser)
    • Base
    • Thermal nail polish (any color)
    • Fixer
    • Ultraviolet lamp

    Application technology

    If you have already acquired everything you need and have cleaned your nails, you can proceed to a simple coating algorithm:

    • Initially, you need to wipe your hands with an antiseptic and treat your nails with the soft side of the buff (this will allow you to carefully remove the glossy layer)
    • At the next stage, a primer is applied - a degreasing base, which prepares the nails for subsequent procedures.
    • The base coat is applied in a thin layer and dried in a lamp for a minute (this time may vary for different lamps, so carefully read the instructions for the device)
    • Next, the surface is directly coated with gel polish, which also needs to be dried in a UV lamp. If desired, you can apply several layers - this will make the color more saturated and vibrant
    • The manicure is completed by applying a fixer.
    • After finally drying your nails in the lamp, it is recommended to remove the sticky layer from the surface of the nails. To do this, you can use special substances or a simple alcohol-containing solution.

    What is it about

    Thermogel is a special material used for nail extensions or plate coating. The result is a manicure that changes depending on the temperature around it. Thermogel is the same shellac, but it can be used for full extensions.

    Of course, the main feature of this coating is its chameleonic nature. Many masters note that French manicure with such shellac looks very unusual and attractive. Most often at high temperatures, it has a light color, even translucent, if we talk about French manicure.

    This light shade is located at the beginning of the bed. The closer to the end of the nail, the lower the temperature becomes, therefore the color changes to darker.

    So, in a warm room in winter you can be the owner of a beautiful jacket, and when you go outside, the shellac will change its color to a rich one.

    Temperature and Color Features:

    • Lighter pigments appear in warm ambient air.
    • Normal conditions, room temperature, will allow you to become the owner of a two-color manicure.
    • Cold temperatures will make your manicure both bright and rich.

    Thermal gel can be worked in two different ways. If you have natural nails, then before starting work, you need to degrease the surface of the plate, treat it with a buff, and then cover it with a primer.

    A base gel is applied on top. Application should be done in a thin layer. It will take two to three minutes to dry the base. The base is necessary so that the shellac does not paint the surface of the nails in the color of your choice.

    After this, you can apply thermal gel polish, which also dries for two to three minutes. If you apply the gel in two layers, then each layer will require a separate two-minute drying time. After this, the finishing gel is applied. It also takes two to three minutes to dry.

    Don't forget that the coating should seal the ends of the nails, then you can count on the shellac to last for several weeks, not days. Removal may vary depending on the product. Often, preliminary filing of the top glossy layer and subsequent softening with a special liquid are used.

    If your nails are made of acrylic or gel, then after modeling you need to remove the sticky layer from the base gel and cover your nails with thermal gel, as if you were just applying shellac. Drying in a UV lamp takes about three minutes.

    In order for the color intensity to be higher, it will be necessary to repeat the procedure by applying a second layer. After this, a top coat is used.

    Thermal gel nail design can be different. You can apply a variety of designs or use a regular jacket. Don’t forget about quality preparation, and the result will please you for a long time.

    Manicure with thermovarnish: ideas

    You can come up with no less ideas for a manicure with thermovarnish than with a regular flower garden, but due to the natural brightness of the coating, it is important to observe the measure:

    • Perform a gradient using a product without this effect as an addition. Regular gel polish is selected in the same shade as thermal polish. They apply the first layer. Thermal varnish is used to paint nails not entirely, but, for example, half or 1/3. And you get an iridescent vertical gradient.
    • Use kamifubuki. You can take shiny ones or one of the tones of gel polish. Depending on the shape and size of the decor, kamifubuki are glued to the base of the nails, stretched, and a pattern is drawn out.
    • You can use a matte top on 1-2 nails. The thermovarnish will not lose its properties underneath, but without the glossy shine the effect will be especially original.
    • Draw on 1-2 nails. The image should be in a minimalist style, done in black or white paint and occupy a small part of the plate. You can also slide it towards the side bolster. Another option is to make a drawing with the same shade that is in the gel polish, and outline it with black and white.
    • Use web gel. They decorate only the free edge or nail near the cuticle. You can place the decor differently on each plate, but in small quantities so as not to hide the thermal varnish.
    • Glue the rhinestones. It is better to take white transparent stones or the same colors that are present in the coating. There shouldn't be many of them either.
    • Use foil. And there are many options here, for example, highlighting the free edge with tape to get a French jacket. You can print transfer foil onto part of your nail. Silver or golden decor, as well as a shade of the thermovarnish itself, is suitable.
    • You can use pearl rub on 1-2 plates. Or use it to highlight a part of each nail, dividing it diagonally.
    • Get a French or moon manicure using regular gel polish. It must match the color of the thermal product. They are allocated a free edge or holes. Or you can make a French design on your index finger, a lunar design on your middle finger, and paint the rest with a base product with a thermal effect.

    Design ideas

    Manufacturers of nail polishes are actively working on creating new collections of coatings with thermal effect and other chameleon effects. Therefore, you can find many photos with original designs. Let's look at some of the most unusual and stylish options for decorating nails using this coating.

    In this video you can see an unusual three-color coating from the popular Dance Legend brand. It looks great on nails, and when reacting to changes in temperature, it forms three main currents and two transition currents on their surface.

    Another great option for creating a stylish and unusual design is a combination of rich purple chameleon polish from Patrisa Nail and soft white gel paint. To create such a design, you need to make a drawing with the thinnest brush, then place the brush with chameleon gel just above the outline of the drawing and move it upwards. Carefully coat the nail in two layers and apply the topcoat

    It is important to do the work carefully so as not to get into the white lace design (you can use a stencil). The photo of this design turned out stylish and bright

    Unusual French design with chameleon gel polish.

    Reviews of chameleon varnishes indicate that the best effect can be achieved on long nails. Due to the fact that the nail plastic does not have the same temperature at the base and at the tip, a beautiful, graceful color transition occurs from light at the base and dark at the tips.

    How to apply?

    Thermal varnish should be used in the same way as ordinary gel polish. There are no differences in the application method. To create a nail design using thermovarnish you will need the following tools:

    • means for removing excess moisture (this may be a dehydrator, degreaser or other similar substances);
    • devices for working with cuticles;
    • primer;
    • basic foundation;
    • gel polish;
    • finish;
    • cuticle nourishing oil.

    Work on creating a manicure should begin with treating your hands with an antiseptic composition. After this, the nails are prepared - the cuticle is removed and the desired shape is given to the nail plate.

    Next, the nail is coated with an acid-free primer. This manipulation is necessary to remove natural fat from the nails and protect them from various damages. After these steps, the base is applied and dried in a lamp. Drying time depends on the type of equipment. For example, it will take about a minute to dry in LED lamps, and 2 minutes for ultraviolet devices.

    The next stage is applying thermovarnish to the prepared nail plate. The product is distributed over the nail in an even thin layer and dried in a lamp for at least 2 minutes. Then the nails are covered with a second layer and dried. Coating in two layers allows you to get bright and rich colors. After this, a top coat is applied to the nails and dried. And the last maneuver is to rub oil (you can use olive, sesame, castor or other types) into the cuticle to actively nourish it.

    Thermal varnishes can have different effects:

    • Contain holographic crumbs, that is, shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow. This varnish has a matte finish.
    • The varnish may already contain sparkles, even large ones. There are options that combine both large and small elements.
    • The chameleon effect can be offered by many varnish manufacturers. This is the reaction of the color scheme not only to temperature, but also to lighting.
    • Thermolak is not only a combination of two colors, it also has three-color options. But few manufacturers can offer such options.

    It is more difficult to apply thermovarnish evenly with glitter of different sizes than a plain version, but the end result is also more interesting.

    Manicure ideas

    to use shellac at home, you just need to meet a number of requirements.

    Despite the seeming routine of applying the coating, there are several ideas for manicure using thermovarnish:

    • Using thermal gel polish, you can apply images using a brush. For example, drawing roses in multi-colored shades will look fresh and new, especially when the color changes.
    • The varnish can be successfully used to decorate a French manicure.
    • For a more successful implementation of the idea, varnish can be combined with various types of decorative elements. These are rhinestones, foil, sparkles, crystals.
    • With this varnish you can easily create a gradient manicure that combines several colors that transform into each other.

    When applying the coating, you must pay attention to the following features:

    1. Before applying the base coat, nails must be degreased using an acetone-free liquid.
    2. To maximize the effect, use an acid-free primer. This will ensure better adhesion of the coating to the nail.
    3. The base coat is applied to the nail and dried in a UV or LED lamp.
    4. Gel polish is applied either in one layer with a thick coating, or in two thin layers.
    5. Next comes the top coat, which is dried in a lamp, after which the sticky layer is removed and oil is rubbed into the cuticle.
    6. Drying the varnish in the lamp for too long should be avoided.
    7. Thermo gel polish can also be combined with designs, patterns and nail sliders.

    Thermo nail polish appeared on the market relatively recently, but has already gained popularity due to its unusual properties. Like a chameleon, the polish changes color depending on the ambient temperature.

    For fashionistas who like to change their look often, this is just a godsend. Not everyone has the patience and time to repaint their nails every day, but thermal varnish can change color on its own without any outside effort.

    What are the different thermal gel polish colors?

    Changeable thermal gel polish has no less variety of shades than traditional ones. All funds can be divided into several groups:

    • Pastel. These are light, delicate tones with a hint of color. The coating contains white, white-pink, beige, peach, cream, light blue, and pale green. Under the influence of heat or cold, they do not transform into rich colors. There will be 2 or 3 shades on the nails, but belonging to the same nude range. For example, at the base the plate will be beige, and the free edge will be cream.
    • Bright. These are shades of the solar spectrum and their catchy variations. There can be combinations of red with purple, burgundy, fuchsia or blue, black with dark gray, brown, emerald with rich light green, etc. That is, all shades are pigmented, but in each case they go well together. 2-3 tones present on the nails on the color wheel are located nearby. And the gradient is obtained with a soft natural transition.
    • Contrasting. These are also bright shades, but the manicure with them will come out with sharp tints. Heat or cold may cause the coating to become, for example, blue-red, white-green or orange-violet. The colors combined in one bottle of gel polish are far from each other on the color wheel. Very often one of them is white. Therefore, the ombre turns out to be much more catchy and noticeable than in the previous case.

    Colors from Bluesky

    The colors of thermovarnishes from the well-known company Bluesky are mainly combinations of bright shades. There are about 50 of them in total, but the palette is constantly expanding. It already contains products in catchy colors with smooth transitions of shades, a little nude and bright contrasting ones.

    In addition to them, the Bluesky company has released flower beds with glitter sparkles. There are gel polishes with large particles, the size of a speck of dust, as well as decorative inclusions of different sizes in one product. Sequins come in a single color or several, but do not change under the influence of temperature.

    Thermal varnishes from Bluesky are very popular, giving transitions from 3 shades. They belong to the 2nd group, that is, they are bright colors that smoothly flow into each other. Some of the products are supplemented with glitter.

    Application technique: short and clear

    Applying thermovarnish is no different from regular varnish. Regardless of the chosen coating, before the procedure it is necessary to prepare the nail plate - process the cuticle, file it, treat it with a buffer and degrease the nail.

    Coating nails with thermovarnish

    • Apply one coat of base coat to your nails.
    • Apply a layer of thermovarnish. If you don't have a base coat, you can apply thermal varnish twice to the nail. The first layer dries very quickly, the second - from 7 to 15 minutes.
    • Secure with drying or protective varnish.

    The technique for coating a nail with thermal gel polish is also standard:

    • the nail plate is covered with a layer of topcoat and dried in a UV or LED lamp;
    • 2 layers of gel polish with a thermal effect are successively applied to the nail, each layer is polymerized in a special lamp;
    • The manicure is sealed with a top coat and must be dried in a lamp.

    When applying each layer, do not forget to seal the end of the nail with the coating.

    Thermal shellac application technique

    The technique of applying gel polish is quite simple. And if you carefully follow the instructions below, you will get simply amazing results that will delight you and attract the attention of the opposite sex.

    To achieve the desired long-term manicure, you should follow five sequential steps, namely:

    1. It is necessary to treat the nails, thereby creating a smooth surface for thermal varnishes (shellac). To do this, you need to carefully treat the cuticle. Then you need to polish the nail plate and give it the required shape. This can be done using a regular nail file. This step is necessary so that the gel can “adhere” to the nail in the future.
    2. Now you should treat the surface with degreasing liquid. It is sold in every cosmetic store. Next, the base layer is applied. To do this, take a little varnish with a brush and apply a thin layer to the surface of the nails, without touching the skin of the fingers. But if you touch excess space, don’t be upset, because it can be removed with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover. Now we look to see if there are any empty spaces left, if so, then we tint and dry.
    3. The third step is to apply a layer of color. In order for the result to be justified, you need to apply the varnish in a thin layer and dry it after finishing.
    4. Now you need to apply the final protective layer. To do this, use the same varnish, only in a larger proportion. This is done so that the nail plates retain their brightness and shine longer, without the possibility of chipping. Drying in this case will take a little longer, but that’s okay, we’re patient. Is not it?
    5. After completing the procedure, you probably have some sticky substance left on your nails. It can be easily removed with a special degreaser that does not contain acetone. You can also purchase this product at any cosmetic store. That's all. If desired, you can apply moisturizer or cosmetic oil to your hands to soften them.

    Of course, the independent procedure of covering your nails with shellac may seem too long to you. But you shouldn’t waste your time, because it will be more than compensated for. And remember: no look, even the most luxurious, will be complete without a neat manicure.

    Thermo gel polish palette. Properties of thermal varnish

    When the ambient temperature changes, hands come into contact with any object or water, a soft and effective color transition is created. The product works especially well on long nails of any shape - round, square or pointed.

    The fact is that the nail plate itself will always be warm, and the free edge of the regrown nail is cooler, since it does not come into contact with the skin and is the first to freeze when going outside or other environmental changes. Multi-colored manicure can be done on nails of any length. Stunning gradients are guaranteed.

    Gel polishes do not emit an unpleasant odor. They are very easy to work with because they have a thick consistency. Together with the top and base, the double coating forms a thick, durable layer. It should be noted that basically the color change occurs instantly. Although there are certain products that repaint more slowly.

    Color-changing varnish is a specific manicure option that will be unusual for many. Often the color change occurs unevenly, in spots. It looks original. Some people think it's not so beautiful. Not for everyone. This is especially noticeable when water drops or a sharp temperature influence occurs - a spotty or uneven color change occurs. For example, only the tips or nails on only a few fingers are darkened/lightened or repainted.

    All the amazing properties of thermal varnish are due to the presence of particles in the composition that are sensitive to temperature changes. Looking at the polish in the package, it is impossible to imagine exactly how it will manifest itself on the nails.

    To evaluate the effect, you need to use the product for its intended purpose and expose your hands to temperature. For example, direct warm or cold air from the air conditioner onto your fingers, go outside, or put your hands in water of different temperatures. Then it will be possible to appreciate the speed, beauty, all the subtleties and variations of color changes.

    Typically, the manufacturer will place color swatches on an insert in the package. And on a manicure chamomile with samples, the color will always be the same.

    There are 2-3 colored thermovarnishes. Some change tones within the same color scheme, others are radically repainted in contrasting colors. As a rule, the color is darker in the cold, but lighter in the warmth. This manicure is relevant at all times of the year, especially in the off-season. The cost of thermogel varies from 2 to 5 hundred rubles. The manufacturer plays a decisive role.

    Thermal gel polish

    The word “thermo” tells us that the effect of the varnish is related to temperature. That’s right: thermal shellac is a nail polish that changes color under the influence of temperature. This effect is also called a chameleon. It contains components that are sensitive to temperature changes. They change their tone, becoming darker or lighter. Most often, the colors of thermo gel polish are related, which allows you to create an ombre effect.

    Thus, if you hold your hands in the cold or warm, the color of the nails changes. This manicure always looks unusual and is suitable for both celebrations and daily use, it all depends on the chosen color scheme.

    Advantages

    • Shellac itself gives a lasting effect. With proper manicure, its durability can last up to two months.
    • Speaking about thermal gel polish, one cannot help but note the affordable price. It is also quite simple to use; you can easily do a manicure for yourself at home.
    • The designs that thermal gel polish allows you to make can be varied: a simple design will look different on your nails, depending on the background you choose and the color of the design itself.

    Flaws

    • The only drawback, if it can be considered one, is that thermal gel polish looks most impressive on long nails, because the tip of the nail hardly changes temperature, but the color of the rest of the nail will completely depend on the ambient temperature.

    What is thermal nail polish

    Thermovarnish is a nail polish that can change its color depending on the temperature of the environment or the surface on which it is applied.

    Thanks to this unique ability, thermovarnish allows you to create truly fantastic types of nail designs and brings to life the most original ideas of the master.

    Today, thermovarnishes are very popular in the cosmetic market. This is facilitated by the presence of a varied color palette, relative ease of use and, of course, an impressive color changing effect that will appeal to any girl.

    A particularly expressive color transition is obtained on long nails; here you can create a colored French manicure (this unusual effect is also called the ombre effect), since the nails at the base and at the tip have different temperatures.

    How to use

    In order to get the desired effect and protect yourself from unpleasant surprises, we advise you to listen to the recommendations of experts on applying thermoactive nail polish.

    1. First, cover the nails with a base coat and give it time to dry completely. It is best if you purchase products from the same brand, because in this case the guarantee of compatibility increases.
    2. Then apply the thermovarnish itself. Just like regular varnishes, this product should be applied in two layers. Paint your nails using quick strokes along, up and down. Wait until the first layer dries, and then cover your nails with another one, so that one stroke falls in the middle of the nail, and the other two are distributed along both edges of the nail plate.
    3. If you want to achieve a more lasting effect, you can apply a couple of additional layers of thermal varnish to the tip of the nail. Due to the fact that the thickness of the varnish at the tip will be greater, it will not gain temperature so quickly, which means that the result will please you for a longer time.
    4. In the process of painting your nails, you should leave a small indentation from the cuticle to the line of application of the product, this way you will not interfere with the natural breathing of the nail plate, which occurs precisely through this area.
    5. Quite a large part of thermovarnishes have a matte finish. To achieve a rich mirror shine, use a special top coat and fix it in an ice manicure lamp.

    Hello! I did thermal gel polish from Bluesky and was very pleased! I agree with what was said above that for the first few days you can’t take your eyes off it, then of course it’s not so interesting, but incredibly beautiful! When it changes color upon entering the room, the free edge remains in its original color for a while and looks like an interesting jacket! I advise you to try it... it looks very cool! =)

    I love the entire series of bluesky shellac polishes)) I constantly do manicures with them at home. And then I wanted something new and decided to buy a thermal varnish from a series that they recently launched to try. Unfortunately, the range of flowers in the store remained small and I had to choose from what was available)) (it costs 111 hryvnia)

    And I chose a purple-blue polish. When you open the bottle, you see a rich purple polish with glitter. To be honest, I was sure that this would be the color the polish would be at room temperature, but what a surprise I was when, taking my hand out of the UV lamp, I saw bright blue nails)))))) That is. At room temperature it is blue, and when your hands are cold it turns a beautiful purple. It’s good that I bought it in the winter and often observed a change in color))), but in the summer I think that I won’t use this particular color, because the weather is always warm and the color will not change. In general, it’s a very funny activity to watch how nails sometimes smoothly and sometimes suddenly change their color. The photo captures the moment when my hands were almost warmed up from the street, so 2 colors at once))) I will definitely buy myself another polish, but in some lilac shades...))))

    Hi all. I want to share a wonderful thing with you. I’ve only recently become familiar with BLUESKY shellac, but I can already confidently evaluate it and give it 5 points. The varnish is easy to apply, lasts a long time, does not “shrink” when drying, does not peel off, I can safely wear it on my nails for up to three weeks. Moreover, I dry it in a 9 Watt lamp, and it still dries perfectly. I don’t yet have a rich palette of shades, but this is not the limit. I recommended it to all my friends, they come to me to get their nails done, everyone is very happy.

    I especially love thermal varnish; in a cold room (or in cold water) it becomes darker, and in a warm room it becomes lighter.

    I order via the Internet. The price is quite acceptable, unlike other shellacs, the price is around 150-111 hryvnia. You can easily afford to buy a couple of jars, then get a few people’s nails done for 300 rubles, and voila, you can order a couple more bottles. Since I am a student, it is very profitable for me to buy this way, and not buy a lot of varnishes at once.

    Hello, today I want to write a review about another gel polish. The thermal varnish from this company is simply magic) It beautifully changes its color depending on the air temperature. These varnishes cost a little more, but they stay on your nails for a very long time and don’t get boring due to color changes. I apply nail polish in three layers. The bottle of regular varnish from this company and the thermo varnish differ only in the small label on the back of the jar that says termo. The color palette of this company is very diverse and can be chosen to suit every taste. It begins to peel approximately two weeks after application. While I do the dishes, wash some clothes by hand and clean the house. Personally, I like this company of thermal varnishes.

A new product that surprised me and made me fall in love with it! Girls who do this, take it without hesitation! Very original and creative, the quality is good, and the price is not too high for this new product.

    Thermo gel polishes change their shade under the influence of different temperatures. It reacts to the temperature of both the external environment and the human body itself, as a result of which its original color changes.

    It is very interesting to watch this process, it is truly fascinating. And your manicure is unlikely to go unnoticed, as it attracts the attention of others.

    There are more than 20 shades in the Bluesky collection, and I have two representatives of this gel polish Bluesky Termo 021 and Termo 022.

    Standard Bluesky bottle of 10 ml. The consistency of both gel polishes is quite thick due to the large number of different glitters. During application, the color changes from dark to light, and here you need to be more careful so that there are no streaks that are not visible on a light tone. I really like the transition on long nails, it resembles a French or ombre look.

    Bluesky Shellac Termo 021

    Bright pink color, closer to fuchsia, with a lot of different sparkles. When warm, it changes its color to pale pink, almost white.

    Bluesky Shellac Termo 022

    Dark brown with a lot of small and large sparkles, in the warmth it turns into a translucent light color and a third tone appears - either orange or peach. It produces a very beautiful effect.

    I'm cutting down

    ceramic cutter, so I don’t have any problems, but as far as I remember it’s very difficult to remove by soaking, I have to actively work with a pusher.

    I hope my review was useful)))

    I’ll admit right away that I have nothing to do with manicure, its implementation, or nearby services) I get my manicure done at the salon, and there I also learn about new products in the assortment of shades. When the master suggested thermal varnish, I didn’t even immediately understand what she was talking about. And after demonstrating its capabilities, of course, I couldn’t resist trying it! There are many options and shades of such products, as well as manufacturers. But today I’m demonstrating BLUESKY Shellak Termo TS24 gel nail polish.

    It has two shades: a cool color of dark purple and a warm color of bright blue. That is, if your hands are frozen or cold, then the color of your nails is purple,

    and after we warm our hands it turns bright blue! In addition, this varnish also has inclusions or sparkles of different sizes, which gives it a cosmic look.

    It is the period of transition from heat to cold and vice versa that looks very impressive. On the street, when the hands have not yet completely cooled down, the nails begin to darken gradually from the edges. The result is a French effect.

    But I’ll say right away that in practice, with such a varnish, you will never have everything smooth and clear on your nails as with a standard French coat. I talked on the phone on the street, accidentally put my thumb to my face, and found out that all my nails were purple and one was blue))) or I forgot, put one hand in my pocket, and as a result I got different color nails on my hands. Therefore, you need to be prepared for such variations in advance, and lovers of clear symmetry may not like such differences!!!!

    I haven’t identified any shortcomings yet, because I still wear it and haven’t taken it off. If they show up, I’ll be sure to post them!

    Hello everybody! Today I will sing another praise for my favorite Chinese gel polish BlueSky!

    This manufacturer, as always, never ceases to amaze me not only with the variety of its color palette, but also with gel polishes with all sorts of gags, such as TERMO)

    For application I use base and top coat from the same manufacturer, I am completely satisfied with their quality. I always wet the bonder and primer before applying.

    I apply the color itself in 3 layers, or 2 if you have strong nails. The consistency of thermo gel polishes is thicker than the usual ones from BlueSky, so you need to be extremely careful with application, because it is difficult to clean the brush from excess gel polish. The smell of the gel polish is tolerable, personally it doesn’t particularly irritate me, I calmly breathe it for an hour while I’m doing my nails)

    I polymerize each layer in a UV lamp for 2 minutes, in an ICE lamp for 30 seconds, everything here is the same as with regular gel polish.

    It lasts on my fragile nails for at least two weeks, sometimes even more, and this makes me very happy.

    In order to remove it, I first file the top layer with a file or router, then soak it in a special liquid for 10-15 minutes and voila) I remove the remaining material with a pusher.

    I give this product a honestly deserved 5 stars for the fact that it wears well (no chips, cracks), you can come up with an endless number of designs, and because the changing color of the nails is cool)) I also can’t help but note how cheap it is - for one bottle I I gave 149 rubles.

    I recommend everyone to try it. You won't be disappointed

    https://irecommend.ru/content/moi-pervyi-termo-lak-ya-v-vostorge

    Hello everyone! Well then! So I became the owner of thermal varnish from BLUESKY shade 015, rich red in cold and bright pink in warm. The colors can be seen in the photo. I applied gel polish about a week ago, so in order to update the manicure, I applied ordinary varnish from

    EL Corazon from the “Lace and Sequins” series.

    I'll tell you about the advantages:

    • the varnish has a thick consistency, you need to get used to putting the right amount on the brush so as not to overdo it;
    • simple and easy to apply, leveled and non-streaking, even a beginner can handle it;
    • practically odourless, which is good news;
    • has a dense color, 2 coats are enough;
    • quite durable, I wore it for two weeks without chips, cracks or scuffs; there’s no point in wearing it any longer, in my opinion, the grown-out varnish looks terrible);
    • after drying it has a smooth, shiny finish, and the “glitters” contained in the composition add gloss to the varnish;
    • price - 90 rubles on the joint shopping site.

    Of the minuses:

    • the layer must be thin, otherwise it will flow under the cuticle when dried in a lamp;
    • I removed the coating with a special product, and 15 minutes was not enough for me, I had to wait more. Although, perhaps it’s not the varnish, but the top from TNL.

    I advise you to buy, I will try other shades.

    What it is

    This is a new varnish that can change its color under the influence of a certain temperature. Why is this happening? Heat-sensitive components are included in this varnish. Components can darken or lighten when exposed to low or high temperatures.

    Moreover, the color of the varnish can even change from white to blue. Another option: when it’s warm, the polish is pink, and when it’s cold, it’s blue. But this is just an exception. Basically, the color range lies in approximately the same range, for example, yellow and orange.

    There is no need to dry the coating under ultraviolet light or using special means. The varnish dries well in air. To check how the varnish works after painting, you can conduct an experiment. Once the coating is dry, you can place your hands under running cold water. You will see the color change. After you remove your hands from under the water, the color will change to its original color.

    On video - thermal nail polishes:

    If we compare the effect of coloring, it occupies an intermediate position between the effect of French manicure and amber. That is, it turns out to be some kind of stretching. You can see a blurry line that is located on the smile line. This is due to the fact that the free edge has a nail temperature lower than that at the base. This is why the polish looks best on long nails.

    You can understand how to apply gel polish on short nails if you read the contents of this article.

    If we talk about durability, it will be comparable to conventional coating. When applying, you can follow a number of rules that will help make your manicure decorative and safe.

    Nails must first be prepared for application. The cuticle needs to be trimmed and the plate polished. Then the nail is filed a little. The nail plate is treated using a degreasing agent. The degreasing agent can be special alcohol pads or nail polish removers containing acetone.

    To prevent the penetration of aggressive substances, the nail plate is covered with a protective base. As soon as the base has dried, you can immediately apply thermovarnish. The waiting time for the varnish to dry will be several minutes. Everything will depend on the brand. A second coat of varnish can be applied if the shade turns out to be dull.

    It is very important to apply both the first and second layers very thinly. The color will be saturated only in this case. After drying, the third layer of varnish is applied only to the very edge of the nail plate.

    As a result, you can achieve the desired effect. Also the picture will be clear. This third layer allows you to create an effect close to that of a French manicure. If the purpose of coloring is amber, then there is no need to apply the last layer. The protective base is applied to completely dry nails. This base will help make your manicure more resistant to various damages. The free edge must be sealed with a protective backing.

    Video of applying thermal nail polish:

    Design options with chameleon varnish

    With thermovarnish you can come up with a lot of nail design options.

    • French manicure. To make such a manicure, you only need one thermal polish. If you have grown, well-groomed nails of the same length, you only need to apply a coating. The advantage of this design is that you don’t have to waste time creating a neat “smile line” - it will form itself due to the temperature difference between the free edge of the nail and the nail plate. The transition in this case will be smooth, a little blurry;
    • Gradient design. To perform a gradient manicure, apply the first layer with regular varnish, and the second with thermal varnish of a similar color.

    Features of storing thermal gel polish

    Gel polishes should not be stored near a UV lamp or in direct sunlight, as there is a high risk of polish polymerization. Also, always keep an eye on the expiration date - not only the durability and quality, but also the health of your nails depends on this. Expired varnish can cause an allergic reaction, even if you have never had an allergy to gel polish.

    Peculiarities

    Thermo shellac

    It should be noted that thermal shellac stays well on the surface of the nails for 2-3 weeks, provided that all stages of shellac technology are followed. The fashion for using this manicure composition came to us from the USA and Europe. In these countries, girls have long and successfully used thermal gels to create a unique manicure. Interestingly, thermo-shellac colors show their abilities already at the application stage. One has only to pick up a mug of hot tea or cold compote, and the color of the manicure instantly changes.

    Application rules

    Many girls do not know how to apply thermal shellac. If you managed to figure it out and understand what it is, then you won’t have to talk about application for long. In order for a manicure to delight you with its impeccability, it is necessary to process the nail plates, giving them the desired shape. Be sure to remove the cuticles and treat each nail with a nail file and buff. What it is? Buff is a soft file that slightly ruffles the surface of the nail plate. This effect is necessary for high-quality adhesion of the gel polish to the nail.

    Then all dust particles are removed from the surface and the nails are covered with a primer. This is a degreaser that will prepare the site for further processing. The next stage is applying the base to the surface and ends of the nails. After drying the base layer, you can begin decorative finishing.

    For a perfect manicure, Bluesky thermal shellac in the photo is recommended to be applied in two thin layers. Upon application of the first coat, Bluesky will immediately begin to exhibit its color changing abilities. The first layer should be thoroughly dried, and then proceed to applying the second. After drying the thermal shellac under a UV lamp, you can complete the procedure by treating your nails with a top composition. In order for the manicure to last as long as possible, carefully treat the entire surface of the nail, including the ends, with a finish. Dry for 30-90 seconds and remove the top, sticky layer. To immediately improve cuticle health, apply moisturizing oil.

    The video provides detailed instructions on how to properly apply thermal shellac.

    Manufacturer's choice

    Today, many brands offer high-quality manicure products, one of such manufacturers is Bluesky. Reviews of the brand's products claim that not all Chinese products are of low quality. To confirm this, customers show their nails coated with Bluesky thermal shellac. It turns out that this is a quality product at affordable prices. Moreover, the Bluesky thermo-shellac palette offers the widest selection of colors and shades of gel polish.

    The manufacturer offers more than 55 colors and shades of high-quality thermal shellac at an affordable price. Of course, every buyer has the right to purchase and use products from other brands, but reviews from craftsmen and regular customers claim that Bluesky has created an amazing product that is worthy of women’s attention.

    To summarize, we note that the modern selection of manicure products is so large that every woman is simply obliged to try the new products for herself

    When choosing the appropriate gel polish option, pay attention to thermal compositions. They allow you to create a flawless, beautiful gradient manicure that will change shade throughout the day.

    Depending on the ambient temperature, your stylish manicure of any color will change shade from dark to light, and vice versa.

    Bluesky gel polish color palette

    The color range of thermal shellac is varied. In addition, the initial shade changes depending on the temperature. For example, if you paint your nails a soft pink color, you will be surprised when it turns into a bright red, or a rich orange turns into an attractive yellow.

    Thermo shellac “Bluesky”, the palette of which is incredibly wide, did not leave any representative of the fair sex indifferent. And this is not surprising, because this product has a number of undeniable advantages and practically no disadvantages.
