Cabana boy is more red orange whereas love struck is more redish pink.
This is ocean sparkle, disco fever, and enchant. Enchant is a magnetic gel Polish.the swatch is without the magnetic design.

About cabana boy. I didn't swatch it, but I opened the bottle and compared the brush to my then manicure, sensationail Tahitian sunset. I could not tell the difference between the colors. I wonder if they're just gonna continue to re-release the same color each year as a special addition?

Anyway, here is my most recent manicure, sensationail crystal avalanche, 3 coats. There is still some VNL, but I wanted the milky look. It's an extremely pale, whitened pink crelly. My manicures aren't lasting a full 2 weeks since switching to vitagel recovery basecoat :(

I was at my Walgreens yesterday to check out their Sensationail selection and Pink Chiffon was on sale for $8.99 - $2 in store coupon - $2 manufacturers coupon. I didn't really need the color, but couldn't pass it up for $4.99 +tax.

My walgreens also had a few of the limited edition colors. They weren't on sale, so retail is $11.99 - $2 manufacturers coupon. Are there any colors that I should (well need) to get? They had Teenie Bikini, Ride the Wave, Sunkissed, Beat the Heat, and most of the Liquid Metal colors. Ride the Wave looks nice, but because I work in a corporate environment, I usually stick with more neutral colors. Thoughts ladies? My SOG collection is still small, so none of those colors are dupes for something I already have.

I just bought two SensatioNail colors at Walgreens yesterday. ALL of their colors were $6.99 with the in-store coupon. This sale goes through 7/27.

I got "Blue Yonder" and "Royal Ruby".

I would describe "Blue Yonder" as a very, VERY dark navy blue, just a hint toward the green side (reminded me of the Crayola crayon color "Midnight Blue", but much darker), with the slightest bit of shimmer.

"Royal Ruby" is a red-red crème. It's a bit toward the pink-red side at one coat, but looses that with a second coat. (Sally Hansen xtreme wear #160 "Cherry Red" is a perfect rnp dupe!)

Both have great coverage at 2 coats. Even one coat would be ok if you were in a hurry!

Here are both colors in my 4th of July mani (in late afternoon shade):

Oh wow! My walgreens didn't have the sale clearly marked. Makes me sad that I just settled for a color that I didn't really need.

Very nice, as usual. Are some of those stamps?

I think the blue would be too dark by itself, too. I'm thinking about using it in a gradient with a lighter color (sponging alone will make it lighter) or under a lighter color like a pearl white.

I looked EVERYWHERE online for a coupon and couldn't find any. SIGH! Oh well, it's too late now.

Yes, most of the nails are stamped (the OCD nail artist's best friend :D). I couldn't figure out how to make decent fireworks with the stamps I have, so I dotted the white nail (much harder to duplicate on my left hand!)

Here is the link for the Walgreen's coupon. It is under the Savings & Deals, printable coupons. The links in the previous threads for the coupon from Sensational should open right up to the full page coupon.

Woohoo! Score! I took back my Pink chaffon, and got Teenie Bikini and Cabana Boy instead.

The only thing I like better than SOGs is SOGs on sale :)

I am surprised they took a polish back, but good for you that you got 2 that you like better. I went to one of our Walgreens this afternoon, and found that the older Sensational boxes are taped shut. I think they are overpriced for the little bottle (IBD & Ink online are a lot cheaper) and I want to see the color before I buy it. I got the tape off w/o tearing it and when I was trying to look at a second bottle the woman working there told me she couldn't let me do that. All the other polishes in the store can be opened, so that really annoyed me. I bought one of the newer ones, Steel a Kiss.
