Color-Changing Nail Polishes

Urban Outfitters' UO Mood Nail Polish Adapts to Temperature

Urban Outfitters sells color-changing nail polish as a fun and nostalgic beauty product that reminds of the properties of a mood ring. The UO Mood Nail Polish is offered in a range of shades that boast the ability to transform based on hot and cold temperatures. Some of the transformative hues available include Everything's Peachy and a deep blue called Turned Down, which are said to be especially responsive to water and ice—which means taking a warm bath or even holding a chilled beverage will cause instant and dramatic changes to one's nail colors.

The novelty nail polish products offer a quick way for consumers to change the color of their manicure without feeling as if they have to commit to a single shade.
