PAINT POLISH

EVERMORE ERA

Less than five months after folklore, Taylor released evermore, sister record to the eighth album. Featuring many of the same collaborators as its predecessor, the Grammy-nominated evermore debuted at number one upon its December 11, 2020 release.

Inspired by the Folklore album cover, “salt air” is a solar color-changing polish that transitions from pale gray (indoors) to a soft beige (outdoor under UV rays of the sun) with subtle silver shimmer and black microflakes.

The transition to soft beige is a nod to the sister album, Evermore.

*The strength of transition depends on the strength of the light source. The stronger the UV rays, the stronger the transition to beige. Sunblock lotions and top coats that have UV-blocking effects may hinder the transition. Personal results may vary depending on the UV index in your area. For example, if your room/car window has UV tint, it won’t be activated inside the room/car, but will be activated if you opened the window*

Important note for color-changing polish:
Store your nail polish in a cool, dry place out of the sun. Exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperature for a prolonged period of time will damage the color-changing pigment, causing it to lose it’s color-changing ability and get “stuck” at its last color state. Some separation of pigments may occur over time, simply resolved by shaking the bottle or rolling between palms to redistribute the pigments evenly.

Taylor left the sheen and vibrancy of “Lover” behind in favor of a more understated, woodsy style. She wore her natural curls in loose braids and buns, and her wardrobe consisted of cozy cardigans, plaid coats, and jewel-toned velvet.
