Abstract
This experiment determined which colour of nail polish lasted the longest when placed in different substances and environments. Six different colours of nail polish were tested and the results were recorded according to the rate at which they disappeared. A total of four plastic sleeves were used in this experiment; each had six different colours of nail polish on them and were placed in a different substance. The substances included acetone, mould remover and olive oil. The last one was placed outside, where it was exposed to only rain and sunlight. It was found that no matter which substance or condition the nail polish was in, the colour faded. The majority of the effects occurred with the acetone. All of the nail polish had disappeared by the end of the experiment. The plastic sleeve which had been exposed to just rain and sunlight had the least effects on its nail polish. Therefore it can be concluded that nail polish lasts longer when it has no contact with any substance other than water and sunlight.

Method.
Method
To start off the experiment, each plastic container, except for one, was filled with a substance. The plastic sleeve and the sheet of paper were cut into four equal rectangles. The paper was then slid into the plastic sleeves and taped together to ensure when they were placed in the substances, the liquid would not seep through and wet the paper.
Each colour of nail polish was then applied to the sleeve in a single stroke, measuring exactly five centimetres. The white background allowed the colours to stand out and made it easier to notice the changes during the experiment. The nail polish was applied to all four sleeves and then left to dry.
After the nail polish had dried, each sleeve was placed in a container. The sleeve was placed right at the bottom of each container to ensure it was completely covered by the substance. The three containers, which contained the liquid substances, were kept indoors. One container was placed outdoors, where it was exposed to the rain and sunlight. The results of what had occurred by the end of each week were recorded in a log book and blogged about. To note the results, each sleeve was visually investigated and to determine how much nail polish had disappeared, a ruler was used to measure these changes.
