# Color-Changing Gel Nail Polishes De Blangy's Transformative Gel Polish is Temperature-Activated By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-06-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gel-nail-polish References: [marieclaire.au](https://www.marieclaire.com.au/article/beauty/this-nail-polish-that-changes-colour-will-blow-your-mind) & [deblangy](http://www.deblangy.com/) Nail Polish manufacturer, De Blangy, have created the worlds first color-changing gel polish. This soon-to-be-released polish functions in the same way as a gel polish would (it has [long-lasting wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ardell-1-step-gel-polish), an ultra glossy finish and is non-toxic), but it is able to react to temperature and change color. To change the color of these gel polishes, simply apply heat with a hair dryer or dip your finger tips into cold water. Some temperature-reactive polishes will only remain active for as long as the polish is able to retain heat, but these [color-changing gel polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phreeze) stay stable until you decide to change them by applying hot or cold again. Available in six color-ways, these technologically advanced polishes are a great way to get the most out of your nail color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Color-changing Beauty Products:** Companies can create more temperature-activated, color-changing products to add a fun and innovative experience for customers. - **Smart Gel Technology:** Developing gel products that can react to various stimuli, like temperature, opens up opportunities for a new generation of wearable smart technology. - **Non-toxic Gel Polishes:** As more consumers demand non-toxic products, companies can continue to improve the quality and performance of their gel polishes to meet these expectations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty:** Innovation in temperature-activated, color-changing products can provide a unique selling point in a highly competitive market. - **Fashion:** Integrating this gel technology into clothing or accessories, like bags or shoes, could revolutionize the fashion industry. - **Technology:** The advancements made towards smart gel technology have the potential to create new industries and categories that have yet to be imagined. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sunlight-Reactive Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-wear-chill-paint.md) - [Color-Shifting Smart Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipolish.md) - [Gem-Infused Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabled-gemgel.md) - [Self-Correcting Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-gelcolor-intelligel-system.md) - [Emotive Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetles-gel-polish-emotional-spectrum.md) - [Soak-Off Nail Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colour-builder-gel.md) - [Color-Changing Beauty Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-twister.md) - [Color-Changing Jelly Tints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phreeze.md) - [Climate-Responsive Color-Changing Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorchanging-paint-1.md)
