Oh man I've never seen anyone's swatches transform color SO quick before! That was so trippy to see. I bought a surprising amount of these polishes, I got Rage Bait, Deeply Superficial and Simply Chaotic. I don't usually get blues and teals since I really am into the warm end of the color wheel, but SC really just caught me, especially the cold color. I was really disappointed to see the purple shimmer in Rage Bait though. It could be I am biased with my warm color opinions, but I feel like HT simply can't give me a warm color without trying to make it cool toned in some way 😅 I hope my thermals don't die in transit, however once they arrive I think they'll be fine, it has been very mild here the few last days, but I feel for people living in more hot climates, especially in places where your packages will be left outside, that's so nerve wrecking.

Thanks so much for all of the comparisons!! Two thoughts. It's interesting that Rage Bait was a little strange for you. It was also strange for Kelli Marissa, but in a different way (hard to get it opaque in the warm state; she also runs cold, I think, opposite of you). 2nd, people keep saying that the fridge will help. Has there been a robust study?? It seems to me that putting them in a fridge would end up locking them in their cold state eventually. Unless they're able to recover from fridge to room temperature many times without consequences to their changing abilities, that is, if that option is more beneficial than keeping them at room temperature as much as possible.

of course! and oh yeah i saw that, i do wonder how finicky doing a 3rd coat would be 🤔 but i didn’t notice my Rage Bait being any thicker than the others. i’ve only seen a few comments saying people have kept their thermals in the fridge, with only one comment mentioning someone on twitter has been doing it for 7 years and they still transition like normal. so nothing robust from brands at least lol i had those same thoughts too, but i guess it depends how cold the fridge is? and maybe it also really depends on how much of a temperature change happens when you take them out of the fridge, some people keep their homes cold lol 😅

It was really hot here in FL too but the only one that was significantly slower to shift was Guilty Pleasure. My theory is that these differences in temp sensitivity has to do with the actual manufacturing rather than them dying in the heat (or not totally dying, but getting to a less shifty place)

i have potential advice for anyone worried about using thermal polishes within the short lifetime! i spoke to someone on twitter recently who said she’s kept some bottles in her refrigerator and they’re still reactive as of 7 years since she initially put them in! i’ve heard people say this before but it’s always been a rumor, like a “i heard that this might help, but i don’t know” and no one seemed to have any evidence of it working for them! but that person on twitter gave me hope😁 ALSO if you’re worried about what color the polish will settle into once the pigment stops working, i believe its normally whatever color you see in the bottle in your environment (i think this is normally the cold color) so maybe like enjoy the cool effect while you can, but make sure you like the cold color! (but tbh i always make sure id be okay with either color) hopefully this helps anyone who really wants these or other thermal polishes but the shelf life has been holding them back! PS i heard fancy gloss has really good thermals and they typically have very good shelf lives without the fridge! i only have one from ppu from her, but it was super fun to wear. okay ill stop yapping now lol
@PolishedYogi

I’ve heard Fancy Gloss has great thermals too, they’re always recommended! I’ve seen a few comments also mentioning keeping their thermals in the fridge, I’m glad it worked for that person on Twitter lol. I figured keeping them in the cold could also shock/kill them? But yes the best advice I think is to make sure you love all the transition colors so you’re not as bummed when it eventually dies 😅

I totally understand! unfortunately since my collection is so large & i do nail content full time, i don’t have the same time that i used to to just wear what i want. and when i do have time, thermals are usually lower if not last on my list to reach for 😅 so for me personally, i don’t go out of my way to buy thermals since i likely won’t use them enough, especially since i’m a seasonal wearer lol i do think they’re worth buying if you either have a smaller collection, or you actively plan to keep using them! i think most thermals can last at least a year or two if stored in a dark drawer and you don’t have extreme temp changes inside. i know some people with shorter nails also don’t like thermals since theres even less of a gradient effect, and it only really shows when they wash their hands for example. so that could be something else to consider, similar to how some people dont like reflective glitters or holographics since they only/usually look good in specific lighting conditions. i hope that helps!!

@@PolishedYogi I love thermals, so I’m sure I will! I need to gather all I have so I can use them before they quit working! I didn’t know they would quit working over time, until the last yr or so. You’re the first one to mention a time frame on your experience. That’s helpful! Thanks!

Given the short shelf life of thermal polishes, does this mean that the stickers and the box will stop transitioning too? If so, what shade will they settle on as their permanent color?

hmm i think the stickers & box would last a lot longer since its a different material? i’m not quite sure, but i do remember Cristine saying to maybe not put the stickers on something that would face extreme temp changes, like lets say a water bottle that you bring outside. i would guess the colors would stay in the “cold” state though

I am probably going to pass on these. We are too hot to be buying thermals. I still haven’t bought a thermal yet but if they were a fall release I’d be more tempted.

i’m sure most of these will be around for a few months since they’ve gotten better at stocking up, i’d love to know if you end up grabbing any!

@@PolishedYogi I’ll let you know. I’m reluctant to purchase something that takes over a week to ship (I live in Canada). 90’ seems too hot to ship something so temperature sensitive in!

I've been debating on Deeply Superficial cus it's somewhat of a work appropriate shade, but currently recovering from the PPU Rewind. 🥲
