Ruby Wing Color Changing Nail Polish

BEAUTY | THE PRODUCT » By Jennie Wong » ★★★★☆ I’m a fan!

Who remembers the color changing markers we used when we were little? This solar activated nail polish by Ruby Wing is the next best thing.

Ruby Wing is a line launched for summertime by nail art maven Color Club. The polish changes color in the sun, creating two completely different looks for indoor and outdoor. There are tons of hues to choose from, with names like Festival and Birdie.

To apply, swipe on a base coat, 1-2 coats of the color, and a top coat. The formula is thicker than usual, so make sure to wipe excess off the brush and use clean strokes with even pressure. Watch the color change in the sun.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

WRITING | POETRY » Posted by Jennie Wong

By Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold, 
Her hardest hue to hold. 
Her early leaf's a flower; 
But only so an hour. 
Then leaf subsides to leaf. 
So Eden sank to grief, 
So dawn goes down to day. 
Nothing gold can stay.
