If you haven't noticed by now, the ladies of R&C have a thing for glitter, particularly glittery nail polish. When I was back in Georgia for winter break I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that my Ulta still had Orly's Cosmic FX collection in stock. I bought both Halley's Comet and Space Cadet from the collection and couldn't be anymore pleased with how unique these colors are.

Both shades apply evenly and dry down to a smooth finish. I also like that these colors are formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and formadehyde resin free. The colors themselves are a bit hard to photograph as they can differ in a lot depending on the light. Halley's Comet is a pretty turquoise blue with flashes of green and yellow. Space Cadet is a bit more complex than Halley's Comet, it can look bronze, pink, or mossy green. It didn't look very pretty in the bottle, but I think Space Cadet is the must-have color of this collection. Swatches of the other shades in the collection are available at All Laquered Up and Temptalia. Some other reviews said they had problems with the dry time of these polishes, but mine dry quickly and evenly in about one to two minutes. Perhaps the dry time will vary depending on what base coat or top coat you chose to use. For $10, I think you get a very unique product that applies easily and looks absolutely amazing on. Certainly worth the investment in my opinion; however, if you like the look of Space Cadet and don't want to pay the price Hard Candy's Beetle is apparently a perfect dupe for $5!
