Claire's Mood Polish

Awesome Idea!
I really wish they came out with more "grownup" shades. Now I know what you're thinking, "Lady you went into Claires looking for grownup stuff, there's your first problem. Second you wear bright on your eyes why not nails too?" I don't know. Something about neon green nails switching to neon yellow nails...just doesn't see right!

I managed to snag 4 of them (sadly they didn't have a single purple, I don't think they got any shipped in, the other 4 weren't even rifled through yet).



Daring/Innocent = Grey
Fabulous/Funky = Pink
Happy/Earthy = Green
Peacefull/Confident = Blue

Out of the 4, the Grey one and the Green one change the most. Grey turns into this odd peanut butter colour that I LOOOOVE. Green turns into a neon yellow that office highlighters would be jealous of.
The bright pink one and bright blue one basically turn into a slightly brighter pink and blue. No biggie.

Here's a poor swatch of the grey one


This one is backwards from what it's supposed to look like, I had my hand in front of a heater so the tips warmed up.


Dontcha just love how lazy I am too take off the old polish :D

They are $5 each, $5.75 CDN (why when our dollar is like 2 cents away I have no idea) but I got them with a buy 1 get 1 50% off. With taxes and crap it still came to almost $20 ($19somethingorother) so I basically got American price with that discount. I really want the shimmery purple one, it turns into a shimmery pink!

You will also need a topcoat with these, they have a bit of a matte finish.

Hopefully more shades are released or Icing brings out the more "grown-up" shades :)
