Blaze UV Color Changing Nail Lacquer Swatches and Review

Finally a sunny day! I've recieved 6 Blaze UV Color Changing nail lacquers and I've been dying to swatch them but the weather has just been miserable the last few days. Blaze polishes are one colour indoors and when exposed to the sunlight UV rays they turn another color. The Blaze line offers over 50 shades of creamy polishes including matte, glitter, pearlescent, and fluorescent colors. All of the ingredients used in Blaze nail lacquer are completely safe and 3 Free. 

The colours that I have swatched are from the Color Collection which is made up of 24 different colours in .25 oz. bottles, 48 if you include the colour that they change into in the sun. The newest line, the Brights Collection consists of 8 matte bright colours in new larger .45 oz. bottles. The formula and brushes are nice and allow for easy and smooth application. The indoor colours are on the lighter side so I used three coats for all of the swatches to get it the opacity in the pictures. I found that two coats was just not quite enough but you could definitely still get away with it if you don't have the time for three.


Ocean Blue to Midnight Purple. This colour is one of my favorites of the bunch. It's a light shimmery blue indoors and outdoors turns into a nice metallic purple. The polish started to change immediately when I put my hand in the sunlight and took about 30 seconds to get to the colour in the picture. FUN!!!



Pinkalicious to Sugar Plum. Another one I enjoyed, it's a very creamy light pink indoors and turns into lovely deep plum outside.



Spiced Lime to Blackberry. This was the most drastic change in colour. Inside it's a light lime green summer colour but outside turns into a deep purple blackberry fall shade.



Clear to Red. I didn't even bother swatching the indoor "colour" since there really was none. It was a clear top coat looking polish. This also made it a bit tricky for the application considering you can't see the outdoor red that it will turn into. Not one of my favorites in this line but I will give it another go with a few more coats.



Flirt to Panzy. A creamy pearl indoors turns into a shimmery berry pink outside. It reminded me a bit of the Sugar Plum but with less of the purple undertones.



Smurf Blue to Purple. It's actually a brighter smurfy blue then in the picture and a deep lavender purple outside. Love both of the colours and the name!


Blaze™ polishes can be purchased online on www.blazenailpolish.com for $7.95 a bottle. For those of you with Twitter follow for updates and news @BlazeLacquer

  2. I just ordered a couple of these & was a little bummed that they were so sheer. You stated you did three coats. Did you put it on pretty thick? & do you think you will purchase from them?
    Thx
