Welcome to the second half of my summer nail polish surprise! In my prior post I mentioned that I happened upon a shop called Life on a Sandbar in Nags Head, North Carolina while on a family vacation. Once there, I saw a sign for a Del Sol Nail Polish. I was familiar with Del Sol color changing T-shirts, since I purchased one once at a shop in Virginia Beach several years ago. I didn't realize that Del Sol offered nail polishes now, so I had to check them out.
For those who missed my last blog and to those who are unaware, Del Sol makes t-shirts and now nail polishes that change color in the sunlight. The colors in the products use a technology that was developed by NASA called SpectraChrome. To explain it simply, SpectraChrome acts like a flower in sunlight, opening when it hits the suns rays to reveal the inner color. With the nail polishes, it seems that you can have almost any color on the outside and then when the sun hits the SpectraChrome molecule, it opens to reveal it's inner color. Nina, the manager at Life on a Sandbar was extremely helpful in finding four polishes for me that had some extreme color changes in the nail polishes. The second two I want to show you today are Electrik and Glitz & Glam.
I really liked Electrik, and so did some of my clients, because of it's frosted teal blue. Again, the frosted color went on pretty smoothly, as frosts go, and the color was a gorgeous shade of teal blue.
While you can't see it so well from these photos, Electrik goes from a teal blue to a Mint Green in full sun. Check out the next photo to really see the difference.
Again, since I am such a "green girl" I just loved this one.
The next color I want to share with you is a glitter polish called "Glitz & Glam". It is such a pretty medium iced blue that turns glittery purple in the sunlight.
I have some "die-hard" purple fans amongst my clientele (they know who they are) and I thought they were going to fall off their chair when they saw this color in the sunlight!
I would like to thank the folks at Life on a Sandbar for introducing me to these fun nail polishes! And if you wanted to see more of these colors, this is not my last blog on Del Sol color changing nail polish collections. There are more on their way, complements of the Del Sol shop in beautiful Sedona, AZ.

Even better is a pic of Glitz & Glam in full sunlight!
