Black = cold / Malachite= hot

Thermal polish with micro-iridescent blue and green glitter.

This thermal polish changes at 88° F. 

Care: Thermal polish will actively transition for up to two years if kept in a dark and cool environment. Once the polish is not able to transition anymore the color will remain in either the hot or the cold state.

We suggest using a base coat and 2-3 coats of polish followed by a top coat. 10-free. Vegan. Cruelty-free. Nontoxic.

This polish comes with a removable handmade decorative bronze cap atop our standard black matte nail polish cap - merging artistry with function. To forego bronze caps on your order, click here.

Lily ★★★★★

I painted my nails before a night out and the color change from black to malachite as my fingers warmed up was mesmerizing. The micro-iridescent glitter catches the light in a way that makes the polish look alive.

Miles ★★★★★

The thermal shift is the star here—cold turns it a rich black, but warm it up and that malachite green pops with tiny blue sparks in the glitter. I’ve worn it indoors and the color flip at 88°F is surprisingly quick, almost playful to watch.

Evelyn F. ★★★★★

The way it shifts from that deep black to the malachite green when I step outside is honestly mesmerizing. I love how the blue and green micro-glitter catches the light while it's transitioning between temperatures.
