This is the polish that I've had my eye on ever since I heard of "color change" polish by Del Sol. Ruby Slipper is a silver glitter in a clear base when it's in the shade.
To test this, I put CND Brilliant White for my pinky and ring finger, China Glaze City Siren for my middle finger and a bare nail for my index finger. Then I put 3 coats of Ruby Slipper over each finger. The only finger I sealed with top coat (Seche Vite) was my pinky.
First let me show you what this color looks like when the sun hits it.
BAM. Hello red.
Over white, Ruby Slipper had more of a pink effect because the clear base is actually a red color changing effect. Over red, it just looks silver glitter mixed in. On my index finger, first I see that I sucked at polishing and got it all over my cuticle. (Oops), but it did work pretty well. I think I like this best over a red.
After being in the sun, all colors faded back to silver.

While I was in San Antonio last month, on a segway tour (oh yes), I found out that there is a Del Sol store right in front of the Alamo. I decided that I couldn't leave without going in and getting my first color changing polishes from this lovely little company.
They were have a sale at the time of 3 polishes for $25 (I believe was the deal), so I picked my three and received a cute Texas gift box set packaging. This is Sassy, which my boyfriend picked out. It starts out as a light pink and then is supposed to change to an orange color. Del Sol is very careful to point out on their website that the colors you experience may very depending on the UV-Index of the sun, the number of coats you apply and the temperature. They do say they will replace the polish if it's not what you like. I chose a relatively warm day to check out this polish.
I did not use a base or top coat and this is 4 layers of polish.
First this is the color in the shade. You can see that even with 4 coats, you can still see my VNL on most nails. It's a light pink with a gold almost shimmer over the nail.
Then I got in the sun and let the sun do its stuff. While my bottle did not go as orange as shown on Del Sol's website, there is a definitely difference in the color.
I also grabbed one last picture in the shade before the color cooled down. It's definitely a nice novelty item!

I have yet to try this brand as well but who doesn't love color changing polish?! This changes with the sun and they have several different colors available. Bottles do run $10 a piece so it's a little pricey but since you technically get 2 colors in one bottle, it's more like $5 a bottle. At least, that's what I tell myself ;]
Del Sol is available on their website here.
