Does Mermaid Magic Nail Polish Change Colors

Ii years ago, when I posed an urgent question to the universe (OK, social media and in a Periodical News/lohud column) asking why my gel boom polish manicure was changing color on i hand, I got numerous guesses.

Simply none of them were conclusive. I even called upwardly Revlon, the parent company that owns CND (Creative Blast Design), the brand of nail shine that was used on my nails at the salon, only came away with no satisfactory answers.

A licensed cosmetologist at Revlon ventured it could have been a chemical reaction from cosmetics or a cleaning amanuensis on my dominant hand. She also said she'd refer it to R&D and ask the chemists in the department if they could shed some low-cal. The chemists didn't telephone call me back.

How had the nails on my right manus mysteriously changed color from lavender to a pistachio green?

Back so, a colleague wondered if information technology had anything to do with the "Mood Band" smash polish. Interestingly, he wasn't alone. Many commenters thought I might take accidentally picked a mood-changing nail polish that alters color with a shift in temperature.

Simply why would my right paw turn green with envy while my left hand remained a cool lavender, I wondered.

Once applied, the nail paint is cured under UV light to gear up, and typically last two weeks without chipping.

As ane of the most popular stories on lohud, based on pageviews and follow-upward questions via Twitter, email and Facebook from people all over the world, I realized that this was a mystery worth solving.

Today, I'thousand happy to report I have finally cracked the case.

One reason it took me two years to blow the lid off this issue is because I am an infrequent gel blast smoothen user.

However, it happened again. This time a light pink shade took on a beige hue. Again: right hand.

Hmm, what had I done the previous night?

I had cooked rasam: A delicious, soupy dish fabricated with tomatoes and tamarind extract.

Equally a self-respecting South Indian, I eschew the apply of fix made tamarind paste. Instead, I excerpt the juice from the sour and tangy fruit by soaking information technology in warm water and gently squeezing and separating the pulp from the seeds — with my right mitt and my manicured fingers!

As I soon realized, the high acrid content in the fruit was interacting with my gel nail paint.

Given that ingredients from Indian cooking, from the highly staining turmeric (yellowish counter tops, anyone?), ghee, coconut oil and tamarind accept found their style into the shelves of Whole Foods and pantries everywhere, it's practically a public service announcement.

Don't extract tamarind juice with gel manicured fingers.
