All glow in the dark products contain phosphors, a substance that radiates visible light after being energized.

Phosphors have three characteristics:

• The type of energy they require to be energized
• The color of the visible light that they produce
• The length of time that they glow after being energized

Each colored glow effect also plays a part in the length of time they glow after being energized. Typically, green and blue glow effect polishes have the longest glow time with red and purple having the weakest and shortest glow times.

Thermal polishes are made with thermochromic pigments that are sensitive to heat and lose or change its color properties when it encounters temperatures of 86F or higher.

To get a great glow in the dark photo, you will need a camera that has manual focus and a high ISO (level of sensitivity of your camera to available light), a tripod and a strong light source to charge your glow in the dark nails.

Before applying your lacquer, give the bottle a good shake to incorporate the glow pigments. Charge your nails using a light source that emits strong UV rays such as the sun. Turn off the lights and using your camera, set your camera on manual focus and focus on your glowing nails, adjusting until you get a crisp outline and set your camera’s ISO to 800 or higher. Take some test shots to see which effect you like the best, but take note that you will likely need to charge your nails multiple times while you figure out the settings that work best for you.

I test and charge my glow polishes by using either the sun or, if it is cloudy or dark outside, I use a UV lamp that’s typically used for gel polishes. This is the model that I use.

The best way to store your polishes is in a cool, dark space. This will help extend your polishes’ shelf life and help maintain its consistency. Also, constant light may affect your polishes’ color and/or special characteristics. Thermal polishes have the potential to continue it’s color shift, but there is a minimum shelf life of four months with a recommended shelf life of twelve months. With glow in the darks, while it can continue to glow for years to come, it’s best to be safe and keep it away from constant light exposure which would activate the glow particles.
