Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you these thermal gel polishes from DIY Hard Nails.
These gel polishes are a first for me and I am having fun using them.
What makes them cool is that they change colors when in heat or cold.
They are so fun to wear.
I had chosen these two colors.
Gel nails are so easy. Before receiving these I never got into gel nails because
I thought they were difficult and a lot of work to apply. I thought
wrong.
All of the DIY Hard Nails
color changing polishes have a thick creamy formula, and they are
loaded with glitter. I really love the look of these. They are really
easy to apply.
Let's talk polish...
Ice Queen
is frosted white with purple undertones
when nails are warm and changes to deep purple when nails are cold.
Full of multi-sized Glitter. Even more stunning than the photos. There
is a blue color when it is in the middle of both hot and cold. Which I
love that color.

Pink Galaxy is bright pink
when nails are warm and changes to dark purple when nails are cold.
Full of multi-sized Glitter. Even more stunning than the photos. I
thought this was going to be purple when warm, I do like that pink is
the main color. Its so vibrant and pretty.
I want to share with you this Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel. Are you wondering
what a 1 step wonder gel is? I will tell you.
This polish is a gel like polish but does not require a base coat, top coat or lamp to get the finish of gel polish. This polish is suppose to provide up to 2 weeks of color and shine in 1 easy step. 3-free! No formaldehyde, toluene or phthalates!
Cruelty free.
Made in USA
Ok so let's talk polish!
This is day 1. Let's begin here.
Day 1 - 2 thins coats with seche vite applied to ring finger
This color is It's Sher-Bert Day! A pretty pink for summer. The amount you get is .45 fl oz. a nice size. For about half the price or less, this polish will get you the look of gel nails with out the empty wallet and the other things needed for gel nails. Get out the door in two coats and in less time.
Day 2- No top coat
As you can see in these two macros I took one with out a top coat and one with Seche Vite. I chose to do this in case the claims weren't as they say. The top picture is with out and you can see it does not have a nice smooth glossy finish. It does have a shine but not as nice as with a top coat.
These were also taken on day two.
Day 2- Seche vite applied
Day 2
This photo is day 2. What I noticed is that there was no change. Maybe where I capped the free edge has worn but not the whole way. The shine is still there but not as glossy as the ring finger with Seche Vite.
The little nick on the pointer was my fault.
Day 3
On day 3 I noticed the free edge wearing a little bit more. Also the finish on the nails with out top was not as smooth as day one. The ring finger is holding up the best.
Day 4
Here is day 4. The tips are starting to wear but still wearable and holding up. The finish on the nails with out top coat are staring to not be smooth anymore. The shine is still there. I could keep tracking the wear on these. As you can see for me they are holding up.
Here is a macro of both top coat and with out top coat.
Day 4 with seche vite
As you can see the finish is still looking good. Minimal wear which is what I was expecting from applying seche vite
Day 4 no top coat
Ok so they say no top coat needed. I clearly wold say you do. You do not have to but I found that the wear lasts longer. Here you can see it is not a smooth finish.
My over all thoughts is yes this polish is a long lasting gel like polish. I would recommend this and the other colors as well. There are a total of 18 shades on their website.
I did receive this product for free from Octoly.
My opinions are my own and this is my honest review.

I can't seem to find names of the gel polishes.
So lets talk polish....
First up is this pretty bright pastel pink. This color would look great for spring and summer.
I applied two thin coats and the gel top coat. I was very pleased with the application.
The consistency was great and easy to apply.
Next
up is this mint green pastel. The color dot on the top of the lid is
more blue then what is in the bottle. Either way the color is still
amazing. The consistency and application was great. I applied
two thin coats and gel top coat.
Next is a pastel purple. I applied two thin coats and a the gel top coat. Lately I been loving
blues and purples. The consistency and application was very smooth.
Last
color in this collection is a very pretty peachy nude. Could be pastel
too. I am not that great at describing color but lets just look how
pretty this color is. I really like it. I applied three coats on this
one. Was a little patchy with two coats. Also applied a thin layer of
gel top coat. Was very easy to work with.
Which is it Peach or Nude?
How
pretty are these pastels. Are you more of a pastel lover or neon. I
love my neons but these are for sure very pretty for spring.
I want to share with you these intense holographic nail polishes I was sent to share with you.
I own one collection of holographic polish and they are from Color Club. After seeing these
I think I will pass on buying the 2012 set. These polishes are heaven and all you need.
My
information paper said they are one coat polishes. HMMM?. I was thinking
I better swatch these to find out. I thought it was total BS. Well take
a look for yourself. The paper did not lie.
Here is the whole collection consisting of 6 intense Holographic polishes.
These retail for S10.00 US. You can use my code OPAL18 and get 10 % off at check. Free shipping on orders over $50.00.
You can purchase these polishes separately. I would recommend the base and top coat.
