Del Sol - Day Dreamer

In my lovely package from OxfordJasmine I also had a couple of Del Sol Colour Changing polishes.

As I'm sure you know these polishes change colour when exposed to sunlight (direct only I think - I couldn't get them to work with sunlight through the window)

So here it is out of the sunlight


In shade


In sunlight (through the window)

It starts off as a pretty pale silvery lavender with a pink flash



After a couple of minutes of exposure to sunlight the purple tones strengthen and you get a stronger lilac colour and the pink flash is still visible.

Application was fine, the brush is a little narrow but didn't cause any problems.  This is 3 coats and I still have some VNL - I wonder how this would work as a layering polish?  Would the colour change still be visible?

I really like the polish, obviously the colour change only works when you have sunlight, which rules out most of the winter here in the UK! but even if there isn't any sunlight this polish is like having a little secret on your nails!
