product_junkiesSpace Cadet is a glitter polish that looks gorgeous in the bottle, shifting through a purply-green spectrum.
Unfortunately, it goes on streaky and uneven, and even after three coats it didn't look any better. I actually took it off right away, and I try to use polish remover as little as possible. (Though I've got some coming from Zoya that looks much better than the Cutex I'm using now.)
I'm thinking that this polish might work just fine laid over a solid color to give it some sparkle. It still gives that lovely shifty effect, but the coverage is so weak and the background color comes out looking like when kids paint and rinse a bunch of colors off their brushes in one cup of water.
I also have It's Not Rocket Science and Halley's Comet from the same line, but I don't hold out much hope of them looking better. I may get some cheap fake nails to test them out on before using them.
