We couldn't stop making this magic nail polish paper! 🫧 Black cards dipped into a shallow dish of water, dotted with clear polish.

The Science Behind It... 🧪
The rainbow magic happens via a process called thin film interference - the same process that creates rainbows in oily puddles on the street or in soap bubbles!

When light hits the film, some of it reflects off the outer boundary, while some of the light travels into the film and bounces off the bottom boundary. As a result, the light waves are all on different tracks and interfere with each other, causing us to see different colors!
