2 – 3 coats, sunlight
And I finally got my hands on Orly Space Cadet, the crown jewel of the Cosmic FX Fall 2010 collection! Containing a total of 6 polishes, each one of them flashes multiple glittery colours depending on how it catches the light. For Space Cadet, I see a lot of purple but there is also blue and green and pink as well. Three thin coats or two thick coats are needed to achieve opacity.
With Claire’s silver nail striper pen
Here are some silver stripes to make the manicure look more metallic and outer space-like. I’m digging this but it’s a little too crazy for work.

Liyen borrowed Space Cadet from me. A colleague said that her nails look like cockroaches!
