The Future of Color Cosmetics

According to a recent University of California study, the future of cosmetics lies in a combination of iron oxide particles, microscopic polymer beads, and magnetic fields.

Confused? So was I. But it's actually quite simple.

Basically, a reaction caused in the first two elements by a switch in magnetic fields could soon allow us to turn colored pigments on and off at will.

So, for example, a universal shade of nail polish is one product that's likely to become a reality. Imagine a formulation that would transform, say, from a sheer white to a rich shade of navy in an instant. One manicure for day, another for night. All without a drop of remover. How brilliant would that be?
