I'm in love with Space Cadet!!!

I've been showing off this colour, the dupe-that-is-better than MAC's Mean and Green from their Venomous Villains collection.

This is Space Cadet from Orly's Cosmic FX collection, and man is it cosmic!!!

No pictures for now, because I made a horrible mani of it.Mainly because I used a horrible base coat. NEVER use that sally Hansen shit as a base coat. It does not promise. I'm also not used to Orly's think brush =( I miss the thick awesome coverage OPI brushes have!

Many people have been saying that they have no idea how to describe the colour, and I think I will attempt to. I think it the main colour is this glitterly rose-purple base which can appear like a dark purple glitter in the night. Then there's the Green/gold bit to it, which is sort of a well, dirt green glitter. Someone once called it 'petrol coloured' and I think thats semi-accurate.
And when the rose-purple and green mix hues its just... mind blowing.

Also the pigment isn't the best around,it needs 3-4 coats, and even after that, one needs an awesome top coat to finish it off because the formula is so damn unstable.

That aside, this colour is WORTH all its pains. I will make an effort and fight for this colour. And to think the MAC formula is worse, has a worse brush and yet is still so highly sought after! So I'll post pics of this awesome baby once i get my hands on that Seche.

Awhile back I tried my Mermaid colour from accessorize, another awesome colour which I am late on updating so catch up on that soon!
