Color Club Ulterior Motive

Ulterior Motive was released by Color Club as part of the Alter Ego collection for spring 2011. It has a medium-dark translucent fuchsia jelly swimming with pink and blue glass flecks. On the nail it has a beautiful shimmering gift-wrap-ribbon look, the color is bright, bold and highly reflective with a purplish pink flash and sparks of light from the glass flecks glowing in the depths of the polish.

Application was sweet. The consistency is fluid, smooth and slightly oily, with just a fantastic, self-leveling painting viscosity. It goes exactly where you put it and stays there. Doesn't pull patches either. Since the base is translucent, it's sheer going on with buildable coverage. I used two coats but recommend three for bottle color and more complete opacity. This polish goes on evenly, so two coats give even coverage, but because it's translucent the depth of color changes depending on how the light hits it. I only had a little cleanup to do, which always makes me happy, and it was surprisingly easy with no staining left behind. All in all, a wonderful application experience! Ulterior Motive dries naturally in very good time to a smooth shiny finish.

This one just glows on the nail, so pretty! I love how strong and visible the glass fleck shimmer is. From afar with its pinkish purple flash it takes on a metallic purple look but the minute you get anywhere close to it you can see the translucence of the beautiful fuchsia base with the glass flecks glowing from within. Lovely polish!

love,
