Vanishing Nail Polish a boon for school kids

Necessity is the mother of invention they say, so a bunch of school kids who felt that make-up is necessary in spite of schools banning it have invented a nail varnish that disappears indoors (image after the jump) and turns a vivid red outdoors (as seen in above pic). The dramatic change is caused by a chemical reaction between the varnish and the ultraviolet light in natural sunlight. Pupils from Albion High School, Salford, have developed this "vanishing" color came up with the idea while working on an enterprise project with Paul Haywood and Sam Ingleson from Salford University's school of art and design.

The polish has already been manufactured in China and the two teachers say the remaining task is to find outlets to stock it. Hopefully the 32 colors inspired by Salford brickwork will be in stores soon. The varnish was officially launched at the opening of the Salford Innovation Forum.

Now you don't see it
