Superficially Colorful Lacquer Swatches & Review

by Lisa Heath

A new indie shop has been in the works for months now and tomorrow is her GRAND OPENING!

Jin from Superficially Colorful has been working on her polishes for months with testing and perfecting, and I was lucky enough to receive 5 of her thermal polishes as a gift!  I’ve worn these a few times now, and they look amazing.

Each set of photos will show 4 photos of each polish.  The first 2 photos will be the thermals in their warm state and the last 2 will be in their cold state so you can see the color change.

Lets take a look at the 5 polishes, and then I will go into detail about her shop opening!

Serene

Serene Warm

Serene is the most subtle of the thermals I received.  In it’s warm state, its a light sky blue with aqua blue shimmer.  I used 2 coats for this photo.

Serene Warm Side

When cold, it turns to a beautiful aqua blue with shimmer.

Serene Cold

Impulsive

Impulse Warm

Impulsive is a green thermal changing polish.  In its warm state it is a nice spring green with shimmer!  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Impulse Warm Side

In it’s cold state, it turns to a deeper shade of green.

Impulse Cold

Daring

Daring Warm

In it’s warm state Daring is a gorgeous vibrant golden yellow with shimmer.  It actually gets a touch brighter than the photo shows, but my hands were cold and it kept going back to its cold color before I could snap a photo!

Daring Warm Side

In it’s cold state, Daring is a gorgeous vibrant orange.

Fascinated

Fascinate Warm

Fascinated is probably my favorite of the 5!  In it’s warm state Fascinated is a beautiful medium blue with pink and blue shimmer throughout.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Fascinate Warm Side

In it’s cold state, Fascinated turns to a deep purple with the same gorgeous shimmer.

Mischievous

Mischievous Warm

Colorwise, Mischievous wasn’t my favorite, but it was so interesting and different – I couldn’t help but like it.  In it’s warm state Mischievous is a dusty lime green with purple square glitter.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Mischievous Warm Side

In it’s cold state, it turns to a murky orange with purple square glitter.

And just because, here is Mischievous mid transformation

This is pretty much the perfect Halloween polish!

Overview

I didn’t have any application issues with any of the 5 shades.  They went on smooth and easy, and the colors all changed in different temperatures.  Serene had the least amount of change, but the change was still evident.  I love the shimmer in all of these shades to give them an extra oomph.

Price: $9.00 Each

Those are so much fun! Keep them in a dark, cool place to keep the thermal pigments working longer! I love how those look on people with longer nails, because the tips are a different temp than the nail beds!

I don’t usually like yellow lacquers but that golden touch really makes a difference.
