We've all seen the pictures that show "rape drug nail polish" that switch to a deep red polish to a black one. Yes? That's actually the infamous Orly Gel Shade Shifter nail polish (gelish).
It goes from transparent (when warm) to black (when cold). It's such an awesome concept that I was eager to try it.

And you know what? I got it for review purposes :).
What do I think of it?
Well, first I have to say, that I do not have other Orly products. They stopped selling them in my country about a year and a half ago. Maybe more.
So I used it with the Depend gelish system. It worked fine with other brands so I was hoping it would work fine with this too.
The brush is lovely and picks a lot of product. Even during application the gel just keeps coming! I guess it must be running from the shaft? Anyway, I had quite some troubles with the formula.
It's thin and runny, but that's not the problem. The problem is that it kept flooding my cuticles no matter what I did. I'd apply it nice and thin and during the time under the light, my cuticles would be flooded. I had to remove the excess product with a nail file! I mean... What?
But it looks nice, no?
I used it over some stamping (regular stamping polish) so it would show the design when my hands would be warm. :)
On warm hands! Well, as warm as they can be during cold days.
I also noticed one thing. After a week of wearing it, the topper didn't shift to fully transparent any longer, but instead it went to a light gray. I am not sure if it's like this with all the thermal gel polishes, but I found it to be interesting. Also, this happened with just one hand, hm.
On my cold hands (I dipped them in snow)
Even if it has a very runny formula, I like seeing how my hands go from being completely cold (black color) to being warm (translucent). I learned something new about myself because of it.
If you like it, you can get it on Enails (here) for 20€.
