Claire's Mixables and random fun poll.

I've been dying to see those Claire's Mixables ever since I first heard about them... You know, those polishes that have three colors in one bottle and are supposed to be a surprise color? I hate going to the mall and haven't worked up the nerve to go there and look for them, so I had just about given up on them.

However, my awesome mom got me a couple for Christmas! I have the best mom in the whole world :)


Jinglebell. It's a Christmas-themed polish! Sweeeeeet! It has a top layer of white, middle layer of light green and the bottom is red glitter. The bottle says DO NOT SHAKE, but I had this laying on its side and the layers got a little messed up. I don't think it had any effect on the polish. The color just seems to be white with some red streaks. I don't know how these work.... I would think the colors would end up all mixed up anyway, but they aren't! Crazy. It blows my mind.


Mixable. Yes, apparently that's the name. It has a neon green top layer, a bright yellow middle layer and a bright blue layer on the bottom. The polish applies as a neon green with some yellow streaks. This picture isn't really color-accurate because I couldn't get the neon green to photograph properly. It's more along the lines of Color Club Limelight- bright, glowy, vibrant neon green.


I can not for the life of me figure out the secret to these. How do they not just mix together?! When I look in the bottle, all I see is the top color with a few streaks of the middle color. Even swirling the brush around doesn't give me a mixed color. How do they do it?! I think my brain is going to explode!!

Despite their mysterious nature, they are still really awesome. The polishes apply very well. The white is nice and opaque, smooth and not too chalky, and the green is your average neon green that dries quickly to a matte finish. I would definitely get the rest of these if I ever got the chance to.


On a totally unrelated note, I've been thinking. You guys all come here and listen to me babble about what I like and what I don't like, and it's all me all the time, right? Well, I want to hear about you! I've met so many other nail fanatics since creating this blog and I never would have guessed that there were so many people who like nail polish and makeup as much as I do.

So I swiped one of these online poll things and added a couple of my own questions just so I could get to know my awesome readers a little better.

Post a comment with your answers, and I'll post mine here!

I don't think I can pick one favorite, but I really love vegetables, steak and pumpkin pie.

What is your favorite color?
I can't pick favorites!!! I really like purple, though.

What is your favorite animal?
Well, I can't think of a single animal I don't like, but I'd say dogs are my favorite. I really, really love dogs. I also have a soft spot for rodents.

Iced Earth - Wolf
VNV Nation - Rubicon
Finntroll - Trollvisan
Das Ich - Schwanenschrei
Grendel - Nothing Like Senses
Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains - Thai Noodles
Wumpscut - War
(I can't pick just five!! Arrrgh!!! )

    DOGS! omgajfrsdlgdlafd i flail over dogs. let's say i'm in a really crappy mood. i could be yelling at someone, or feel like i'm gonna cry. it takes as little as seeing a marley & me poster on the freeway to go from down in the dumps to a giggle/flail frenzy about how cute dogs are.

  8. If you ever figure the secret out to these polishes, let us know, okay? :)

    What is your favorite food?
    I love food, and can't pick a favourite dish. Meat is what I love the most though. And fat. Butter and cream. Meat with a creamy sauce maybe? Mhrmm..

    What is your favorite season?
    Winter, when it's COLD and we have snow. I hate ice though, makes me think that I maybe love autumn more sometimes.

    What is your favorite color?
    Depends! Black (ok, not really a color, but I'm cheating today) when it comes to clothes, probably green when it comes to nails, but purple has always been a quite pretty color. But black fits almost everything.

    What is your favorite animal?
    Dogs!

    What are your top five favorite songs at the moment?
    Ok, this question is difficult.. I'm going to go with albums instead, haha.

Heck - give word if you want to try it and I'll swap you for some Sephora exclusives that we cannot get hold of here in Norway. They have colour changing polish...)

  16. Those two colors look fantastic on you. Your nails are perfect.

    Pizza--it's a food group. For dinner and cold for breakfast. Use a knife and fork or carry it out to the car.

    Fall. October--For it's colors and smells. It's warmth and crispness. Hate January, February, and 4/5 of March.

    Red.

    squirrels. Hard working and fun loving little creatures. Our family pet is a dog, but he is part of the family.

    No song favs. I could talk about world issues, oil prices, or financial's. I have ten pre-sets on the radio: news, classic rock, pop, hit's, classical and country. I'm a bore.

    Drive across country in a convertible corvette. Make it a cliche red corvette. Take a month to do it. Go the back roads but stay at higher end hotels. Make stops at Americana sites like, the biggest ball of twine, oldest cemetery, smallest house...that kind of crap. We carry everything we need in a couple of 'carry-on's.' Drink coffee at diners called Mert's or Lefty's. My wife will wear big-ass sunglasses and a scarf. I'll do the cursory black Wayfarers and Rolex. Find a nail salon every 3 day's for a color change or a fill. That's the way we roll.

    I did a search on 'nail polish color' or something like that. I was trying to find the names of nail polish color rather that just saying to my wife, on her way to the salon, 'hey, get that
    pink you wore last Summer, you know, the real shiney one.'

  23. Hi Scrangie,

    Hope you are having a great holiday and I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year! Here are my responses:

    what is your favorite food?
    Chocolate - especially good dark chocolate, mmmm.

    What is your favorite season?
    Fall, because we don't really have spring here...it goes from frigid to humid and gross in the space of a couple of weeks in May.

    What is your favorite color?
    Green

    What is your favorite animal?
    Cats - especially black cats.

    What are your top five favorite songs at the moment?
    Hmmm....I can't think of a list, as my tastes are eclectic and nostalgic. For some reason my playlist on the iPod repeats Lithium, You're So Vain (faster pussycat version), Come Out and Play, Revolution, and Sympathy for the Devil a lot, so I guess these are primed.

    If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go?
    I just got back from 12 days in Egypt, so that is now crossed off my list :). Next would be France, as I have never been to Paris.

    And one last question...

    Autumn, it's a bit sad because it marks the slow descent into winter, but it's my birthday season, and so beautiful in the Northeast. Bittersweet, like a lot of the flavors I enjoy.

    What is your favorite color?

    I love all shades of green-blue and blue-green. Teal, peacock, aqua, turquoise, caribbean blue...

    What is your favorite animal?

    I'm an animal lover, but I like dogs and cats, bunnies, and birds.

    Wake Up Neesie-Kermit Ruffins
    Knockin'-Luminescent Orchestrii
    Show Biz Kids-Rickie Lee Jones
    Midlife Crisis-Faith No More
    Dead Man's Will-Iron and Wine/Calexico

  27. it's probably something to do with different viscosity... that's what would make the heavier/denser color (ie the blue in the last pic) sink to the bottom. i'm morbid, so i'd be curious to see what happens if you do shake them.


    also, have you ever tried polishes from the brands CM and jade? thanks!

  29. The Claire's Mixables don't mix due to different densities and/or solubilities. I suspect density is the main factor. Whatever, they're cool!
