TL;DR Summary
Mixing bleach and nailpolish remover goes from orange to pale hello, why? And does this make chloroform or do I need clean acetone?
Mixing bleach(clear) and nailpolish remover(green) makes orange product at first but after a few minutes of stirring turns to a pale hello color. What is happening in this reaction (is it the bleach and acetone or also father ingredients in nailpolish remover) and did I just make chloroform..?

Edit: there are tiny beads/drops of what looks like oil is that the chloroform?

Don't mix bleach with anything. Some mixtures are extremely dangerous.
