10 Color Changing Nail Inspirations – Cool Nail Art Designs

I remember being in love with mood rings as a kid. Seeing the stone change colors based on my “mood” captured my awe since the first time I wore one. Once I came to discover the secret behind the jewelry, I was not any less impressed. In fact, it gave me just another reason to love them. To this day I own one of these color changing rings and am still completely amused by it. Because of this fascination, I was extremely excited when I bought my first bottle of mood nail polish a few years ago.

Since that day, fashion has managed to find new ways to make color changing nails a possibility. I am still just as excited as I was that first day every time I find a new design to try out. Luckily for me, and anyone also thrilled by the polish combinations, there are so many ways to wear the trend on your nails. Not only that, but there are different types of polish that change colors each with their own unique effect. These designs and polish types are the inspiration for your next mood ring manicure.

Adding glitter to your manicure makes for a feminine design no matter how it is worn. Placed over mood polish, you pretty much have two cool glitter manicures in one.

Long nails or fake nails are not a prerequisite for holographic polish. Painting your favorite color onto your natural nail leaves an effect that is just as beautiful.
