DIY Gel polish-Sensational by Nailene

[hoosieraussis]

Walgreens' manager told me today that Walgreens is clearancing out all their sensationail in preparation for an entire new display which will be put up on January 17. All the sensationail is $5.99 plus there is a $2 coupon. $3.99 sensationail, yay!

Here is my recent mani, a ruffian manicure with espresso bean and tangerine glitter.

Can anyone tell me where to find the new rose gold glitter?

Hi! Has anyone tried to apply a artifical tip with the Sensationail gel kit?

No, I haven't, but I don't see why you couldn't. It would probably take a lot of coats to get smooth though, since it's not a builder gel.

Here is my holiday mani with sensationail gold glitter. The red is red carpet manicure glitz & glamour.

I've used Sensationail and Red Carpet Manicure with a nail form to sculpt an artificial tip. It takes about three coats of Sensationail or two of RCM. I just put on the form then apply the base as usual over the nail and form curing between coats. Remove the form cleans and file to shape then proceed with your manicure as usual. The RCM base is easier to work with because its thicker but Sensationail works fine. Either way you'll have to file the edge into shape because of running. I haven't tried it with the glue on tips but I'm sure it would work. Good luck.

Here are a few pictures to illustrate the process.

Has anyone heard of this new product line that SensatioNail put out? It's called Fuse.

http://www.sensationail.com/c/fuse

I saw it yesterday when I went to Walmart and was surprised to see it, at first I didn't even realize it was SensatioNail. Usually I know about the new goodies before they hit the shelves.

So you get this little starter kit with a color and mini 1-finger lamp. I guess no base or top coats are needed.

Since I already have an LED lamp I just picked up 1 polish to try, a pale pink color with iridescent flakies in it called Gone Fission.


I'll report back once I get a chance to try it


ETA - Oh yea, forgot to mention this. My Walmart had each of the 6 different starter kits listed on the website and they were, I think, $22.98. Then they had those 6 polish colors without the mini lamp for $7.98 (or maybe $7.88?). They were in their own floor display box, standing in the cosmetics section.

I see on the site that there are some more colors, but in the display I only saw the 6 colors that come in those starter kits.

I also saw it displayed a Walmart and picked up a bottle of Gone Fission and Lightning Jolt. The bottles are a tad misleading as to the actual colors. Gone Fission is a pale pink glitter in a clear silver shimmer base and Lightning Jolt is purple and magenta glitter in a clear base with silver shimmer. I also ordered Polar Bare and E-Motion there bottles are pretty accurate. Polar Bare is a gorgeous pale pink with tons of halo shimmer and E-Motion is a medium orchid purple pink cream. I haven't worn them yet but the formula is quite thick and the glitters densely packed. One coat is plenty sufficient for full coverage. I cured the swatches with my sensationail lamp but they recommend using the fuse lamp.

Here are a few swatches of Lightning Jolt and Gone Fission. The purple in the photos is Gelish Starburst.

Thanks geljunky!

I modified my previous manicure. I just covered the previous red with one coat of Sensationail captivate. I used China glaze star magnet. Very Christmas-y!

Hey ! New on the forum and as I really like sensationail, I thought I could contribute

Actually, I'm from Switzerland and here we haven't so many colors and new stuff .. Really disappointing when I see all what you have !

So here's my New year mani..

Ocean sparkle and tag me taupe with tangerine glitter on it ..
My nails are not so long at the moment and it doesn't look perfect .. But I think it's festive so it's better as nothing

I love Tangerine Glitter. I buy a lot of my gel polishes from the internet (OPI, Ink, IBD, etc).

I didn't find yet a good website that delivers in Switzerland.. And if they do, generally the shipping costs are fast higher than the products themselves ..

And here, we don't have a lot of choice and the price of one color is around 20 Chf (which is like 24$) .. Yeah it's crazy !!
Luckily a friend of mine lives in England and last time he came in Switzerland he bring me all the colors I ordered an his address

Thanks for the info! I had been looking for rose gold glitter. However, I recently got gold glitter on clearance at walmart for $3. I've also had tangerine glitter for a while. Now that I have those 2, I don't know if I can justify buying rose gold glitter, which I'm guessing falls somewhere between those 2 colors. I'd have to see what it looks like in person.

Welcome Jebo! Great mani. I adore tangerine glitter! I think it should me a rule that ALL glitters be covered in the holo coating like tangerine glitter. We have more colors in the states, but I am familiar with your frustration poor access to Sensationail colors. A great deal of my collection had to be purchased on Ebay, just bacause I couldn't get my hands on the colors. Sensationail USA just recently developed a website on which we can actually order polish.

My most recent mani is Dusk till Dawn. I love this color, and I can't believe they haven't made it part of their permanent collection yet. They don't have anything else like it.

I have a hard time finding Sensationail here too. :/ I've been looking for Fuse everywhere but have yet to find it.

 

[XcrowzacX]

I'm new here, have been looking into getting sensationail but its expensive and its had both good and bad reviews, mainly due to base and top coat being the same. I want to get Fuse but its not available to buy in the uk, anyone know where I can get it, I am in London UK.
