"The technology to power this change has been around for about 15 years, Littell said, and is a derivative of what you can find in Kindle readers. I watched a demo at CES, and it was very cool -- the polish changed within a few seconds of the nail being placed in the wand. I was skeptical about how the nails would look on your fingers, but they appeared similar to a regular gel manicure -- they didn't look digital at all."
"The nails last as long as regular press-ons, typically until your nail grows out. The starter kit, now available for preorder, costs $95 and includes the color-changing wand, a top coat, bonding glue, and two sets of nails. You can choose from different nail styles, lengths, and sizes. Replacement nail sets start at $6. The company aims to launch this summer."
iPolish provides acrylic press-on nails that change color digitally via an app offering over 400 polish options. A small portable wand alters the nail color almost instantly when the nail tip is placed inside. The underlying technology is derived from e-reader displays and has existed for about 15 years. The nails look like regular gel manicures and last like typical press-ons until natural nail growth. The starter kit is available for preorder at $95 and includes the color-changing wand, top coat, bonding glue, and two sets of nails. Replacement sets start at $6, with a planned summer launch.
