That's the first time I'm buying polishes from Ali and right away in a bulk (they offer discounts if you buy more, and I like the colours π). Also, what I ordered is on a more expensive side of Chinese lacquers (4+ euros). Anyway, they are a

eady on the way!
Pity, that the most interesting effects are available only in UV gels (I use only "normal" nail polish, which can be removed without e-files). What they do with gels is amazing, see, for example,
LILICUTE or
Nail Goddess Store. All those colour changing, glow in the dark, magnetic etc effects are spectacular. But, again, 98% UV gels or acrylic powder only.

Temperature Color Changing Nail Polish
I received the 5 polishes I ordered, tried 3 and ... very mixed feelings.
The huge negative point is that they don't dry. Depending on the thickness they can remain tacky and gooey even after 24 hours. I think I managed to cope with it by applying thin layers and top coating without waiting until it fully cured (since they do not π)
The effect varies per colour. The lacquers react to different temperatures differently. You must have warm (internally) fingers to see the colour gradient. Warm/hot water changes the colour almost immediately, but the colour changes back almost immediately after you take your fingers out of the water.
Despite that, rather interesting, and I'm still playing with them.

These are just great. Difficult to apply on your own nails, but the result is great!
