Unboxing and First Impressions

The thermal gel polish arrived in a cute, securely packaged little bottle. It contains 7ml of product, which is a decent amount for the price. The bottle design is simple yet appealing. The color, T12, is initially a deep coral shade in its cool state, a color I immediately found attractive and quite stunning.

Upon opening, the deep coral hue was even more captivating than anticipated. The brush applicator appeared to be of good quality, well-sized for easy application. The initial texture seemed smooth and easy to work with.

Application and Curing

Applying the polish was surprisingly easy thanks to the well-designed brush. The formula glided on smoothly, and self-leveled beautifully, minimizing the need for excessive smoothing. There was no noticeable streaking or pulling during the application process.

Two coats provided full opacity. The polish cured quickly and easily in my LED lamp (30 seconds) which is a major plus for saving time. UV lamps require a longer curing time of two minutes.

Thermal Color Change

The thermal effect is truly the star of this polish. The color transition is quite dramatic, shifting from a warm coral to a peachy shade with temperature change. This subtle shift adds a unique and dynamic touch to the manicure.

Nail Art and Final Look

To add a little extra flair, I incorporated some simple nail stamping. The design complemented the polish without overwhelming its inherent beauty. This step was optional, but I personally enjoyed adding a touch of artistic expression.
