Casuelle colour changing polishes

There are several brands that have colour changing polishes, most of them indies. When I found out that Casuelle had them as well and for much less, I had to get them. I bought mine at Intertoys (Dutch toy store that sells a small selection of beauty products as well) for € 2,49 each. They are also for sale here.

There are four different polishes. Let's take a closer look. Be warned, this is a very picture heavy post. To get these bottle shots I held them under running hot water until half the bottle had changed colour.


From left to right:
  • Casuelle - Colour changing polish # feel like sky is the limit
  • Casuelle - Colour changing polish # feel like midnight sky
  • Casuelle - Colour changing polish # feel like moonlight cherry
  • Casuelle - Colour changing polish # feel like daydream dancing


Feel like sky is the limit is a mossy green with a very subtle colour change. In the bottle you can see the warm colour on the left, the cold colour (slightly darker) on the right.


Feel like midnight sky has a very radical colour change. It goes from dark lavender (cold) to turquoise (warm).


Feel like moonlight cherry is subtle in the colour change. It goes from plum purple (cold) to dark cherry pink (warm).


Feel like daydream dancing is another radical colour change. It goes from hot pink (cold) to white (warm).


I made some swatches to show them all, using cold and hot water for the transitions. Top picture shows swatches all cold. I used 3 coats for all of them except Feel like midnight sky which only had 2 coats. Feel like sky is the limit could probably do with another coat.


This is how they all look when warm. The pictures that follow are how they change to cold.



I wore Feel like midnight sky on my nails for two days. These pictures were taken on the second day, very slight tip wear on my index finger.


Cold nails, for the pictures I used water to change them. At work I often had them look like this as well, my hands were slightly cool. In winter or if you generally have cold hands quickly this is how the polish would look like most of the time.



During hot days, or in the sunshine the colour changes to this lovely turquoise. It is a stunning colour.


The following pictures how how the polish will look like most of the time. The longer your nails are the better you can see the colour change at the tips. If you have very short nails your nails will be warm all the time and not show the change.







I think these polishes are lovely, although it is a shame Feel like sky is the limit and Feel like moonlight cherry have very subtle colour changes. If you want the change to be obvious I would not bother buying those two. Feel like midnight sky and Feel like daydream dancing however are awesome.
