Application of the chirophotonic crystal paints as fingernail polish (a). Macroscopic images of three free-standing CLC films illustrating the iridescence inherent to the cholesteric mesophase and the retention of the blue, green, and red reflection colors (b). Transmittance spectra indicating that the photopolymerized CLC paints reflect red, green, and blue (c). DMA thermograms of FB (d). Transformation of the CLC paints to films after UV polymerization (e)
