Del Sol - Rock Star

Blue glitter that changes to teal with sunlight

The other Del Sol Colour Changing polish that Jasmine sent me was Rock Star


Before sun Rock Star is sheerish mid blue base with blue glitter.


After a minute or so the colour is developing greener tones


And after a couple of minutes exposure to sunlight it has developed into a deep greenish blue which makes me think of a deep mysterious pool with lots of swaying weeds.


Although slightly sheer it builds ok , this is 4 coats, again I wonder how it would work layered over a complimentary colour?

Application was good and removal wasn't bad for a glitter.

I really liked this polish, both variations are gorgeous colours but the sunlight version has hidden depths!

Updated to say that Del Sol Colour Changing polish is available in the UK for £7.95 from R8Beauty

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!
