"[#image: /photos/57d8cbe1f71ce8751f6b6387]||||||\\n\\nThere are crazy new nail trends every five seconds, but I especially love when polish companies create new funky formulas to make [nail art](/nail-art) as easy as a regular mani. I'm also lived in NYC in the '90s, when glitter-bombed raves were cool, and so a little pop of glitzy glitter still makes me feel like a cool big kid -- even though, yes, I am a big kid now. Needless to say, when I got wind of one of Orly's latest launches, these 3-D FX polishes -- which, as you may now expect, are glitter-heavy -- I was stoked. And, of course, I had to try almost instantly. (So *there's* the kid in me. Impatience. Duh.)\\n\\nI started with my favorite base coat, which also happens to be from Orly ([Orly Bonder](http://www.orlybeauty.com/basecoats.php)), before swiping on the suggested two coats of [Orly MegaPixel FX in Rose Pixel](http://www.orlybeauty.com/megapixel-fx.php) (that's the pretty shade all the way to the left) and skipped a top coat due to the polish's grainy texture.\\n\\nSo is it actually 3-D? Well...It just looked like a regular glitter while it dried, but once it dried it *was* pretty cool. I wouldn't necessarily call it 3-D -- that makes me think of that [weird 3-D gel nail art](http://bit.ly/17EC4rK) -- but I get why it's dubbed as so: Every time I move my finger, it looks like a zillion more sparkles are twinkling. My 13-year-old self would adore the sparkling, multi-faceted finish.\\n\\nI tried to think of ways I'd use these polishes to make funky patterns or other fun nail art, but the truth is, it's fun enough when you use it like regular polish. Especially in the sumer when the sun will catch your nails. Sparkle on now, ladies.\\n\\nRELATED LINKS:\\n\\n- [Match your nails with your iPhone case](/beauty/2013/01/match-nail-art-with-your-smartphone-case-slideshow#slide=1)\\n- [Super Easy Nail Art](/flash/2013/05/beauty-super-easy-nail-art-ideas)\\n- [Summer's Best Hues](/healthystars/2013/03/celebrity-hair-color-slideshow#slide=1)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
