Manicure with thermal gel polish has been at the peak of popularity for several seasons now. This is not surprising, since nail design using such a product will constantly change, depending on the ambient temperature. Therefore, if you prefer variety and like to change your look often, choose a thermal gel polish design. Most manufacturers offer a palette of different colors, for example, such popular brands as TNL and Bluesky.

Thermo gel polish – what is it?
The thermal product is produced using a special formula. In addition to the main components, its composition includes particles that are sensitive to temperature changes. Depending on the purpose of the manicure, the substances lighten, darken, and can even completely change the shade. For example, black will turn into red, white - into blue.
If you hold a cup of hot drink in your hands, the nail coating will become lighter; if you go out into the cold, it will become darker. Manicure creates unusual transitions, sometimes smooth, sometimes like streaks or drops. Shading looks most interesting on long nails. In this case, the transition manifests itself most clearly.

Immediately after application there is a noticeable difference in color. At the base of the nail plate, the finger is warmer and the thermal gel polish takes on a lighter shade. Toward the edge of the nail, the temperature drops and the manicure darkens.
Like all other types of gel polish, a product with a thermal effect lasts a long time without chipping or cracking - 3 - 4 weeks, based on reviews. The structure of the product is dense, usually two layers are enough.
Operating principle
Any thermovarnish shellac works according to the following principle. In the cold it has one color, usually darker, and in the heat it has another, lighter color. However, for some tones there are exceptions when the varnish is lighter in the cold. What exactly is interesting about such a coating?
In fact, thanks to it you can have a permanent ombre effect on your nails. That is, within one plate, one color smoothly transitions into another, and the longer the nails, the more noticeable this transition is. A few words about how exactly the use of bluesky shellac thermo coating allows you to achieve this effect. The fact is that the free edge of the nail is blown with cool air from both sides and is not heated by the nail bed, therefore, its color always remains lighter than the color of the nail bed.
In addition, shellac or gel polish, which changes color depending on the temperature, will attract everyone's attention to your hands even on vacation. When you are on the beach, the color will be one, and when you go into the pool it will be completely different. Even you yourself will be interested in watching the metamorphoses of the coating. Sometimes the color change is very dramatic, from white to crimson, etc.

How to apply thermal gel polish
The procedure for creating a manicure using a thermal agent is not fundamentally different from the standard technique. First, you should treat the surface of the nails with an abrasive buff and remove the cuticle. Then you need to go over it with a degreaser so that the coating lasts a long time. Only after this can you begin the main manicure.
- The first layer should always be a base coat. It provides better adhesion of the color product to the surface of the nail. Sometimes, instead of a classic base, leveling is done using biogel. The layer is dried in an ultraviolet lamp.
- The next stage is the application of colored thermal gel polish. Cover your nails with a thin layer so that the product does not spread and hardens evenly. When using a varnish with a fairly dense texture, two layers are sufficient, each of which is dried in a lamp. Try TNL or Bluesky products.
- If there is no additional design, the finish should be applied to the nails at the last stage of the manicure. Depending on whether it contains a sticky layer or not, it will need to be removed with a degreaser.

Compound
Most often, bluesky termo, shellac or any other gel polish has its own formula, which allows it to change color sharply, or, conversely, smoothly. Usually, the formulas for the composition of such varnishes are kept secret, as they are a unique development of the brand’s specialists. But one thing is obvious - the composition contains particles that change color when heated.

The presence or absence of sparkles, shimmering particles or mother-of-pearl in the composition does not in any way affect the ability of the Bluesky Thermo or Shellac coating to change shade. Since there are shiny, pearlescent, and shimmering colors of these lines. The color change can occur in a two-phase or three-phase system. If the change from one color to another is carried out through a third, then the colors are usually related, for example, lilac - purple - dark purple. Whereas for a two-phase system, the change in shades can be abrupt.
Depending on the formula used, thermogel nail polish, as in the photo, may have a smooth and stretched transition zone between two shades. For example, 5 - 7 mm wide. But this zone can also be quite sharp - 2 - 3 mm. But much also depends on the conditions under which the color change occurs. So, if you dip the tips of your nails in cold water, the edge will be sharper than when you blow a cool wind over the free edge.

Peculiarities
To evaluate how Bluesky thermo-shellac works, you need to be in an environment whose temperature is above +20 degrees. That is, on a hot summer day, the effect of the thermo gel will be more than noticeable. But, since the temperature of the nail at the edge is lower than at the base, the color of the manicure in this area will be darker. Thanks to this property, thermal shellac in the photo manifests itself as a stylish and fashionable gradient. Manufacturers of manicure products delight customers with thermal shellacs in burgundy, blue, green, yellow, and purple. There are also options with sparkles, rhinestones, and other decorative inclusions.
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.
Bluesky Palette
A well-known Chinese manufacturer presented a fairly wide series of thermal gel polishes. It has about 50 different combinations. A significant part of them is represented by means of bright colors. Thus, fashionistas will be pleased with the combination of purple and pink, green and yellow, blue and light blue.
