‘Vanishing’ colour gives schoolgirls chance to beat ban on nail varnish
The dramatic change is caused by a chemical reaction between the varnish and the ultraviolet light in natural sunlight. The polish was devised by pupils from Albion High School, Salford, who thought the “vanishing” colour may help them beat the school’s ban on nail polish.

They 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.
Not exactly what I would create but it is great to see students using scientific thought to find solutions they desire.
