The Maze is a thermal (color changing with temperature) "mood" nail polish that changes from opaque black, to clear/transparent, at 88° F (31°C).
It's filled with copper holographic glitter in a variety of sizes! I love to wear this both on its own, or over a bright color that will "pop" out with an ombre effect!
Inspiration: Westworld: "The Maze itself is the sum of a man's life: choices he makes, dreams he hangs on to. And there at the center, there's a legendary man who had been killed over and over again countless times, but always clawed his way back to life."
About Thermal (Mood) Nail Polishes
- Colors fully change at around 88 degrees Farenheit
- The color-changing properties have a limited lifespan that averages 6 months to 2 years.
- When the effect expires, your polish will still be beautiful, but will stick in the color of either the cold or warm state. We recommend you only order thermal colors if you like both color states!
- The best way to ensure the long life of the color-change effect is to store your polish in a cool dark place - never in a car, in a window, near a heating duct, etc.
- Be aware if your parcel travels through a very cold or very hot region on its way to your home, that may affect how long the color-change effect works.
- Fanchromatic Nails cannot warranty how long your thermal polish's effects will last. However, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any issues - your satisfaction is our #1 priority!
