Multichrome nail polish is sort of the love child of holo and iridescent. Small treated flakes suspended in the polish refract light, bending it into a specific color wavelength instead of breaking normal white light into all the colors of the rainbow. This also works by refraction but in a different way.
Duochrome nail polish.Īlso called multi-chrome or chameleon, duo-chrome shifts between two to three colors as you view it from different angles.

Polishes must have full rainbows to be holographic. That's an important distinction because the other color changing polishes have a limited number of colors they can shift to. Yes, holographic nail polish creates tiny rainbows on your nails. An example of this happening naturally would a rainbow. Unlike reflective glitter, holo refracts light. Holographic nail polish.īe still my heart. It's generally a gradient that shifts from one shade to another shade as temperatures rise and fall. This is color changing nail polish that shifts color depending on the temperature of your fingers. Some glitter nail polish is also holographic, duo-chrome, or iridescent. Glitter reflects light, kind of like a mirror. With how fervently I'm about to rave about color-changing nail polish, I don't want to neglect to say that traditional glitter is awesome. Check out my other guide to find the best top coat for you. To make these color pop, even more, make sure you're using a high gloss top coat. These magnified waves of light create stronger, more brilliant pigments than normal colors which gives iridescence its radiant sparkle effect that seems to glow. These beams of light are reflecting off different levels of the polish and the separate wavelengths act in concert to strengthen each other, kind of like if you give someone on a swing a push on every swing, they'll go higher and higher even if you aren't pushing harder. The science language: When light hits an iridescent surface, some of the light waves reflect off the surface, but some of the light travels further into the barely translucent surface and then hits something else and reflects off of that. It's the shimmering blue of butterfly wings and the swirling colors of soap bubbles blown into the wind. The pretty language: Iridescence is like unicorn dreams and mother of pearl. It may look rainbowy, but it isn't a true refraction. Like glitter, iridescence is a result of reflection, but like duo-chrome it shifts between a limited range of colors. Problem is, thanks to marketing, they're often mislabeled. You've got colors that change with temperature, colors that change in sunlight, holographics, duo-chromes, iridescents, and just plain shiny glitter. Whether this meets what you were hoping to find as an iridescent, it’s worth having in your collection because it’s a unique effect I haven’t seen in many other brands.Ĭolor shifting nail polish (and makeup) is all the rage right now, but not all color shifting polishes are the same. If you swatch it over black it turns almost emerald. My husband was commenting on how neat my manicure looked for days and I got a good week of wear out of it (I’m hard on my nails) with my favorite top and base coat brand Smith & Cult.įrequent Flyer looks different over many different colors. It looks magical and glowing like a digital special effect. This shade is part of KBShimmer’s Enchanted Forest Collection for 2021 and “enchanted” is the right word. You know that really pretty translucent iridescent cellophane tissue paper gift wrap? That’s exactly what this looks like but on your nails. One coat over a layer of white and suddenly it’s a glowing, otherworldly white-pink that shifts to violet, mint, blue, gold, and copper. Where Frequent Flyer really shines is when it’s layered over white which is what is pictured here. It needs about three coats for decent opacity since it’s a sheer shimmer and you might still see a little nail line if you look really hard. When worn on its own, this polish is a luminous gold that shifts to pink and copper. Inspired by the shifting colors of dragonfly wings, Frequent Flyer is a different shade depending on what angle you’re looking at it, what lighting you’re in, and whether it’s worn alone or over a different polish. I got to test out a media sample of this shade (with no promise of a review) and it is everything you want in an iridescent polish.
