Playing "pick the random polish" again from my untried box, and today is Motives by Loren Ridinger. I'll be honest, I had never heard of this brand before I'm always eager to try new things! Motives is a toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) free, as well as gluten-free and is not tested on animals. They offer a variety of colors and finishes that are long lasting and chip free. I received Wine & Dine Me, a medium red metallic color that was super popular in Fall 2011.
I used a base of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and a top of CND Air Dry. I didn't have any issues with formula or the brush itself.
In the sun you can see how well this polish applied. While it's not a true metallic, it's also not a pearl even though there's a bit of streaks.
In my first shade picture, you can see it's not quite orange, not quite red. It reminds me a bit of China Glaze Street Racing (which also is staring at me from my untrieds) but I think this is more orange.
This is also a shade color but just different overhead coverage. I really do like this color quite a bit, and wonder how more of these colors would look!
Finally, indoors with the flash and it is pretty red hot! I am definitely happy with this polish and would like to purchase some in the future.
