Gel polishes, which seem to have appeared recently, have already managed to gain the popularity of a multi-million army of fashionistas all over the world. Moreover, this material of the nail industry no longer seems so impressive to some ladies. To surprise capricious fashionistas, the creators of helium polishes have again created a new option - chameleon gel polish. The peculiarity of the product is its ability to change shade under the influence of light or temperature.
Gel polish chameleon
Advantages and main types
Chameleon nail polish changes color depending on temperature and lighting (or just one thing). For example, during the day the color of the varnish can be restrained and calm, and in the evening it can be bright and luminous. This will allow the girl to feel most comfortable and natural both in everyday wear and at night in a club, at a disco or on a date.
Chameleon varnishes contain microparticles that react to changes in ambient temperature, lighting levels, and direct sunlight. Also worth noting are the chameleon gel polishes, which contain shiny crumbs that add an incredible crystal shine to your nails.
Main types:
- changes color depending on temperature (so-called “thermovarnish”);
- changes color when lighting changes.
- the hue changes depending on the viewing angle.
The first type of varnish is the most popular. Thermal varnish changes color when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees. And when exposed to low temperatures, a dark tint appears. Therefore, to create a stylish manicure, you can use coatings of both similar shades, for example, lilac and pink, and contrasting ones, for example, red and black, or white and blue.
However, the shades should not only complement each other, but also look good with different color changes in different settings. For example, black polish will look out of place in the workplace.
These polishes look best on long nails. This is due to the fact that in this case the nail has a different temperature at the base and at the tips. Therefore, the tips become (for example) dark, the base becomes light, and a very beautiful transition is created between them.
Thermovarnish is completely safe for nails.
Chameleon gel polish, which changes color depending on the lighting, depending on the viewing angle or sunlight, is most popular among girls who go to nightclubs. This is due to the fact that the color of the varnish changes due to strobes and color music. In everyday life, such a color change will not look as impressive.
I would also like to note that many girls are looking for “chameleon shellac,” but in fact, there is no real gel polish (manufactured by CND) that changes color when the temperature or lighting changes.
What to choose?
When choosing from existing types of “chameleons”, you should focus only on your preferences. So, some people like it when the manicure plays in the light, changing and shimmering in the rays of the sun or lamp. Others enjoy watching the color change when the temperature changes: warm - one tone, cold - another. Everyone has their own preferences, and there simply cannot be universal advice in choosing the type of gel polish. Try, dare, experiment! Creative manicure is always in fashion, and “chameleon” is generally at the peak of popularity this season.

The principle of self-application of chameleon gel polish
If you do a chameleon effect manicure yourself, the greatest difficulty will be applying the varnish to your working hand. To ensure accuracy, it is recommended that right-handed people start with their right hand, and left-handed people start with their left.
The main steps on how to apply chameleon gel polish:
- Preparing the nail plate. Regardless of how the manicure is planned, it is important to carefully prepare your hands and nails. To do this, the cuticle is removed and the nails are given the required shape and length. After that, using a special file, the surface of the nails is processed to increase the adhesion of the gel polish and the nail plate.
- The next step is to apply a primer, which improves the adhesion of the nail and polish.
- A mandatory step in any gel manicure is applying the base coat. After which the nails are dried under a special lamp for 30 seconds.
- The next stage is, in fact, the application of varnish with a chameleon effect. For proper application, you must carefully squeeze out the brush as when painting your nails with regular polish. Then dry it in a UV lamp. It is recommended to apply the color coating in two layers.
- Finish coating. An obligatory stage of manicure is applying fixing gel polish and drying it in a UV lamp.
To make your chameleon manicure neat and beautiful, it is better to use the base and color coating from the same manufacturer.
In some cases, the manufacturer may state that there is no need for a base or top coat to cover its product. If so, listen to the manufacturer's recommendations.

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.

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.

French in a new way
French manicure is in perfect harmony with rubbing on the nails. Use silver, gold or pearl pigments for your design, which will best complement your sophisticated nail art. You should not combine a French jacket with dark shades and flashy patterns, as this will destroy the charm of the delicate design and pearl touch.
Expert advice

Be sure to apply the shade you like to your nail, this will make it clearer how harmonious this shade is with your hand skin and will highlight your nails beautifully and advantageously. The color palette is so extensive that you will not have any difficulty finding the shades you need.
