Refinery29's Lucie Fink tries out mood-changing nail poilish to see if it really works.
Transcript
00:00Hey Snapchat, it's Lucy Fink. Today I'm trying Mia's Secret Nail Polish, a nail polish selection that supposedly changes colors
00:06as your mood changes.
00:08I don't know about you, but I'm pretty moody. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm sad, sometimes I'm upset, sometimes I'm
00:14extremely excited and overwhelmed.
00:16Today I'm going to paint my nails with one of these colors from the set. I'm going to blindfold myself
00:20and then my production team has planned a slew of surprises for me.
00:23Some exciting, some overwhelming. Honestly, I have no idea what's coming my way. I don't even know if this is
00:29going to work.
00:29I'm going to choose the purple polish because when my mood changes, it supposedly turns to pink. Two colors I
00:35love, so whatever the mood, I'll be happy with my look.
00:38Time to paint.
00:41Ooh, it's pretty.
00:56See you soon.
01:00Surprise number one!
01:02Oh my god! It smells like pizza!
01:06Oh, it's a pizza!
01:09Do you know I love pizza?
01:11Pepperoni, my favorite! It really is. You know me too well.
01:17Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm.
01:19I was definitely excited, but my nails aren't changing. Maybe I'm just not excited enough. Maybe I need to wait
01:27for the second surprise.
01:29Welcome back in. Who is here?
01:32Is it my mom?
01:35Mom!
01:38I'm really surprised.
01:39Oh my god! Are my nails changing? I'm so happy!
01:44I'm so surprised.
01:47This is Monique. She's my best friend from college. We were roommates, and now we just live in the same
01:53city and love each other.
01:55It didn't change, but I swear I was excited. I cried.
02:00Next up.
02:01What is that?
02:03Ah! Ah!
02:05Oh my god!
02:07You shot.
02:08You popped a balloon on my head.
02:11I was scared, but literally nothing's happening.
02:14Surprise number four.
02:19Ali!
02:21Alice! It's you!
02:24It's you!
02:26I'm so excited, and it's still not changing.
02:30One more surprise going in.
02:33See you, Santa.
02:33Oh, I hope it's like a donut or something.
02:36I wouldn't be opposed to something sweet.
02:42Ah!
02:45Dammit!
02:46Is it changing?
02:47No.
02:48In conclusion, after five surprises that really knocked me off my feet, and not having the polish change any color
02:54at all,
02:55I realized that this mood-changing polish does not change based on your mood.
02:59A little insider tip from the beauty team at Refinery29 told me that actually this polish is thermochromic,
03:05so it changes based on temperature, not mood.
03:07I'm gonna prove it to you right now.
03:09I have a hot cup and a cold cup.
03:11Nails are going in.
03:14Oh, there we go.
03:16Pink.
03:16Pink.
03:17So really, in theory, I needed to get extremely hot in order for this to change.
03:22And I was excited, but I wasn't hot.
03:26I guess my body stays at a relatively even temperature no matter how excited I get.
03:30Or at least my nails.
03:33But...
03:34See you next time.
