Just to let you ladies know I found the Liquid Gold Limited Edition colors at two different Walgreens- Kendall Park- NJ Rte 27 and in Hollis Queens, NY not sure what street I was on maybe Francis Lewis??? My grandpa was running his errands and took me in there and they had them...and he treated me to Going for the Rose Gold. He is such a sweetheart.

I am dying to find the limited edition CVS exclusive color Metal Me Not (lavender metallic). If anyone finds it let me know!
 
My Walgreens had a very limited selection, mostly reds and pinks. I love "Going for the Rose Gold", but the only place I could find it is on eBay for $15 and I can't justify that.:sad: (Don't think my husband would go along with paying $$$ for a plane ticket to get cheap polish either :p)

That really sucks . I'm definitely familiar with being unable to find the sensationail colors I want. You might want to try eBay. I had to pay $15 on eBay for heirloom lilac, but it was worth it!
 
so far I've had no luck finding any of the limited edition Metal colors or the Island Oasis colors around me. very bummed as I've been looking for a while now.
I was able to get a couple colors for $5 at Walgreens with the in-store coupon and the $2 one from the website.
 
I found "Going for the Rose Gold"...and only a 1/2 hour away! It's absolutely beautiful!!! Very similar to Gelish "Glamour Queen". "Rose Gold" is slightly cooler, more rose with lots of metallic shimmer; "Glamour Queen" is slightly more apricot and more of a frost than a shimmer.

Also...
I remembered that Walmart has a price match guarantee. So I bought the coupons and a receipt from Walgreens showing the sale price (I couldn't find it in an ad anywhere!) and they gave me the $4.99 price! I was able to get some colors that Walgreens didn't have.

My "SensatioNail Sale Scores":

"Royal Ruby"
"Bubbly Champagne"
"Going for the Rose Gold"
"Sugar Plum"
"Blue Yonder"
"Ocean Sparkle"

Oh...and "Tangerine Glitter". If Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" had worn apricot shoes they would have looked like this polish...SO SPARKLY!!!

Walmart was kind of squirrely with how they did their price match. They could only apply one coupon so they used my receipt (since I couldn't find an ad) and the Walgreens coupon and called that a $6.99 price, then applied the manufacturer's coupon to make it $4.99. Since the sale price isn't listed in any ad (that I can find), I'm not sure if you could get Walmart to honor that price. But you could still use the manufacturer's coupon to get $2 off.

Here's a link to the Walgreens' coupon: http://www.coupons.com/couponweb/Of...=10&bid=alk06041206061e924b4e06913&opid=13473 ($2 off...somewhere in this list :p) Maybe you could charm your Walmart person into somehow being able to use both. (ie call one a "price match"???) That should get the price closer, anyway.

Hey its worth a shot :)
 
Just used two of my new colors: Bubbly Champagne and Tangerine Glitter. Awesome combo, these two look really good together! (The glitter has SO MUCH more fire irl.)

The Bubbly Champagne is wonderful polish...it looked great with just one coat-great coverage and absolutely NO streaking!!! (I only added a second to make it a little less sheer.) It's a great color for skin tones that tend to look red & chapped with red/pink polishes.

btw...Sponging glitter polish works REALLY well. One coat gives almost complete coverage. Then I just dabbed a bit down the nail to fade it out. A lot less work than my previous 4-layer gradients.

I have never seen that Tangerine Glitter, but that would be a great addition to my collection. Very classy manicure!
