Amour Propre

I find this to be a quality nail polish. Not only does it change colours back and forth quickly when I get my fingers warm or cold through out the day but it is lasting on my fingernails super well. I'm very active and I usually mess up my fingernail polish very quickly and need to re-do them in a day or so, but I did my nails 5 days ago and they still look good! I definitely will try some of their other colours. I am thoroughly enjoying watching the colours change AND they are very pretty colours at that. I bought Luna, it changes from a very light blue to a darker purplish blue.

Went on purple then watched the thermal change as it dried. Adore this polish, it goes on so evenly! 10/10 im going to be buying all the colora

Effectively changes color. I just wished that it would be purple when warm. Instead it's the pastel blue. Purple looks great on most hands but the pastel blue is a little iffy. Other than that, it stays on without chipping (I don't even use a top coat for this) and it changes instantly when in cold or hot temperature change on the body. I have anemia so my finger tips are always cold and always pastel blue but turn purple after a hot shower. Pretty great nail polish!

This review is for the "Lone Star" color. I'm a fan of Cirque, I always love their stuff. (Except their terrible skinny brushes!) I'm pretty happy with this one but it's not as *amazing* as some of their other polishes. (They have amazing magnetics!) Color accuracy and layering: It's not as vibrant as it looks in the product images, I'd say it's like a dusty periwinkle to various denim-like shades, to a muted dark navy. (Even over white. I did try that, and it doesn't change much). All the shades are nice colors, just softer and muted, not very vibrant or saturated. It is sort of a jelly, so it's a bit sheer, which I wanted. I wanted to experiment with the color changing over other colors showing through. And with no base color, I like how the warmest color is so sheer it is very light and subtle and has a true jelly look, while the coldest/darkest shade becomes a dark navy and isn't sheer anymore. But layering with other colors doesn't work super well because you don't really get a perfectly even layer. It does self level pretty nicely, so it isnt streaky, but with the sheerness you often see some slight pooling visible no matter how smooth you get your coat. So i always end up with it a bit thicker/more opaque at the tips, even if I specifically try not to let it pool there when applying. (See my photo layered with cirque's "lucky jelly" red. Instead of a true mix, you see both the red and the blue, depending on how the blue coat pooled. Maybe a cool 4th of July look, but not the type of layering I wanted.) Formula: I think this polish shrinks a bit as well (you can sort of see in my photo with the french tip look- a sliver of the white edge of my nail is showing. It was not like that when I first painted them, and I didnt file them or anything, that's the shrinkage.) As for the formula, it dries with a weird matte finish, but not totally matte that would look intentional. You definitely need a top coat. But I know that's often the nature of thermals. Color changing: The color change works very well and I do often get the french tips effect, even with my somewhat short nails.

Change is instant and bold! I'm so impressed. Hot = yellow Cold = Cranberry With long, natural nails it looked Ombre' and has noticeably changed throughout the day. My toes stay cold a lot, but in/out of the shower is fun to watch my toes change. I want to collect them all!

While it is a lovely shade of red, I did not notice a color change and I used a base, 2 coats and a topper. I have a drawer full of other thermal nail polishes that are all quite easy to see when there’s a change. I could have saved money to get a plain red polish. Like I said, it’s a pretty shade and I’ll use it but I wouldn’t expect a big change in its shade.

I got the blue/pink (Bisou Bisou) for my gf and she absolutely loves it. Both colors come out really good after a few coats. We tried out the color changing part with two bowls of warm/cold water and the color changes surprisingly fast, she loves showing it off to people. Do wish the bottle was bigger but will still be coming back to try another color

Doesn’t change colors at all. The color is a very pretty red but never changed.
