Clear slime is like holding a crystal. Even when adding colors and glitter, this texture always pulls translucently, making it possible to see everything you’ve put in your slime! It has a tackier feel than some textures, so it’s important to keep some activator on hand while playing. This texture makes big bubbles and loud pops, and it’s super satisfying to play with.

Coated clear slimes have a similar feel to a classic clear slime. However, unlike a regular clear slime, a coated clear uses a special solution to "coat" the slime and make it more holdable and less sticky than a classic clear slime, but you play with it the same way as a classic clear slime.

Classic white is some of the stretchiest and jiggliest slime. It's usually less tacky than clear slime and super soft. This slime is the base for many other spectacular slimes.
Butter Slime has a white glue base with super soft clay, giving it a pillowy feel, and a spreadable texture- like butter! The clay also makes this slime less tacky and easier to hold than others, so it’s a great slime for people that are just getting started with slime. After lots of exposure to the air, this texture can become a little overworked and hard; to prevent this, play with your slime for 10-20 minutes at a time and then let it rest in its container.

Cloud slime has a white base and lots and lots of snow. It’s a soft, fluffy texture that feels like a cloud, and makes beautiful snowy drizzles when pulled. Cloud slimes are known to be tricky to create; it takes practice and patience!

Cloud Creme slime has lots of snow and some super soft clay as well. It feels similar to a cloud slime, but with a little extra weight that makes it easier to hold. It has a creamy feel and inflates as you play with it! This slime is great for both smooth swirls and sizzles.

DIY Clay slimes start with any kind of base, and come with a clay topper to squish into your slime and change its texture to a more buttery feel. Clay toppers come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and are a really fun way to bring a slime’s theme together.
Jelly slime has a little bit of snow in a clear base. The combination creates a jelly-like texture, making it a very holdable slime that is satisfyingly stretchy.
Jelly cube slime special foam cubes in clear slime. The cubes make a satisfying pop noise when squished, and break down into the slime to change the texture as you play with it. It can be a tacky slime, so it’s important to keep activator on hand in order to keep the fun going!
These slimes are made with gravel, lava rock, aquarium pebbles, and other kinds of rocks to create a hard and crisp crunch. This texture is meant to be played with slowly and deliberately, because it can be hard on the hands. It’s best to use a slower pull method while playing with this slime to avoid any rock fall out.
Glitterbomb slimes have a clear slime base with A LOT of glitter. It has a slightly sandy feel, but when it’s stretched you can see every shiny little inclusion.
