Color Club Otherworldly

Otherworldly was released by Color Club as part of its Starry Temptress collection for summer 2011. This collection featured six neon polishes containing a mix of tiny hex glitters in white matte and silver holo together with an iridescent glitter topper. Otherworldly is the blue of the collection and while I wouldn't call it neon it is a very bright medium cerulean blue creme/jelly hybrid. It contains the aforesaid mix of small hex glitters in white matte and silver holo, which provides a fabulous effervescent effect. Looking closely at this polish almost gave me vertigo -- the white glitters look just like bubbles rising to the surface with a flash of color every now and then from a holo glitter in just the way bubbles will flash when the light catches them. 

Application was a cinch! The consistency was smooth and light despite the glitter and the polish self-leveled surprisingly well. Pigmentation is very good considering there is a certain amount of translucence to this polish, and I got great coverage in two coats. Cleanup was easy with no staining left behind. Otherworldly dries in very good time to a satiny matte finish that is smooth, another surprise with all the glitter it contains. I expect removal will be a chore, but worth it for this bubbly little gem.

I am really enjoying wearing this polish and stopping everything to gaze at it repeatedly. It is giving me fantasies about diving into a deep pool of clear blue water and rising to the surface along with the bubbles, or settling happily up to my neck in a bubbling hot tub with a flute of champagne somewhere nearby. Oh, if only! Well, any polish that puts me in that state of mind is a winner with me.
