Quirk Oopsie Daisy - Thermal #2

Quirk Oopsie Daisy Thermal

Kerrie at Quirk put a few of her trial and experimental bottles up for sale this week, and since I've been super-impressed with every polish she's sent me for review, I decided to show her some support and buy some of the one-offs. Here's the first one - this certainly does not disappoint!

I've resisted the thermal craze so far (although I'm constantly tempted); I keep telling myself that I don't want these / they won't work for me because:

• I've read that the thermal pigments stop working after a while
• I can do a perfectly acceptable gradient
• I have poor circulation in my fingers so they'll just be the 'cold' colour all the time

But here we are, I've given and I love this! The polish is bright leaf green in the bottle (and in it's 'cold' state) - a super colour I'd wear over and over again regardless of any fancy effects. Here it is cold:

It is quite sheer, and dries to a satiny finish like a neon - maybe this is because of the colour or perhaps it's common to thermal pigments.  I used four thin coats plus Seche Vite to add a shine - not a problem for me and I really like the juicy, squishy finish.

This is 'hot' I noticed how the heat from my hairdryer turned the polish acid yellow as I was drying my hair, so I gave by hand another quick blast before I took this picture! This one is in very strong light by the window and you can see the VNL. I don't mind this though. And then as my fingers are starting to cool down bit - you can see the tips starting to become a slightly darker green....

Now lets have some full on thermal shots! They went yellow whilst I was in the shower, then stayed like this for a good long while afterwards before turning fully green. To be fair, it is pretty cold here!

I purchased this polish from the Quirk webshop - this was a one-off but I'm really hoping Kerrie will introduce some thermal shades into her collection soon. You can keep up with Quirk news at the Quirk Facebook Page.
