So who would have thought there could be so much tech or science in nail polish making? I thought nail polish is strictly for the fashion world. I guess the next time I buy my favorite OPI nail polish over at Hello Gorgeous, I would appreciate the fact that there could be so much geek in one bottle.

The Vanishing Nail Polish


Okay, when I first heard of the name, I thought—WHAT?! Why would I want a vanishing nail polish when the reason behind putting on one is so that everyone can see it, right? Well, a group of girls from a British high school invented this vanishing nail polish. Their school prohibits wearing any kind of make-up so they came up with the vanishing nail polish so that they could stand out in the crowd. The nail polish would appear when exposed to sunlight but would disappear indoors or away from the sun’s rays. Pretty cool.

Lancome Le Magnitique


Introduced in 2007, and I don’t know if it’s still available nowadays, Le Magnitique have different colored magnetic particles in them. The container has a magnet and while the polish is still wet, you just hold the bottle next to polish and it would create different kinds of patterns.

Binary Nail Polish


If you’re a matrix fan and you just want to let everyone know about it, how about this binary nail polish? Nice huh? Maybe you can get that in green.
