Today I have a Nail of the day for y'all! It's a pretty plain nail 'look' but the polish itself is pretty special ;). It is Orly Space Cadet which is an amazing foily multichrome - just amazing.
This was a limited edition polish from one of their 'FX' lines but I'm sure you can probably still get it on Ebay which is where I bought mine. The polish itself is absolutely stunning! It is super metallic and shiny and flashes so many different colours depending on the angle. I've tried to capture the many colours but the photos simply don't do it justice!
As you can hopefully see, it is mainly purple with strong flashes of green, yellow and darker shades of purple. It is a really beautiful multichrome indeed! It does, however, take around four coats to achieve the opacity pictured. You can layer a couple of coats over black for the same intense look with less effort. This stained my nails really badly yellow though, probably my fault as I didn't wear a base coat but just to note!
I actually saw Star Trek: Into Darkness yesterday so this polish (or rather the name) is actually quite fitting! I've never pegged myself a Trekkie but I really enjoyed the movie! I've not seen any other movies/episodes in the series/franchise but I really want to watch the 2009 film now, haha. The 3D was really good and I absolutely looooovee Benedict Cumberbatch (love him in Sherlock too, I'm a bit of a Cumberbitch (best fan name ever?)) and Chris Pine was nice to look at ;) hahahahaa...
Anyhoo, this is definitely one of my favourite polishes! When I wear it I often find myself staring at my nails haha. What are your favourite duo/multichromes? I notice they are becoming a lot more common with Rimmel and Sally Hansen releasing them.
Sidenote: This is my 50th post - yay!
Oh my gosh I've fallen in LOVE! This is such a stunning colour ;O

ReplyDeleteMm, I would agree. It's really hard to get here in Australia so I tend to go online.
DeleteSo pretty, I would be looking at my nails all the time trying to catch the different colours depending on the light :p Still need to watch the new Star Trek but agree, Chris Pine isn't an unwelcome sight to the eyes :p
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty - I absolutely love the colour changing properties of multichromes! I think it is a really good movie, and you don't need to have seen the previous movies to understand :)
DeleteGorgeous color! Congrats on the fiftieth post!
