Thanks for putting that up. That dark blue is calling my name....and I'm not into blues! More to add to my list.
I'd like to invite everyone to join our Gel Polish Exchange #6!:

Ok, I have a really basic question about OPI Gelcolor. Are the Gelcolors the same colors as OPI rnp? I've been buying a lot of Gelish because I can go to Sally's, open the bottle and get a better idea of colors. Could I just look at OPI rnp colors in order to get a good sense of the color? Or does that Gelcolor differ because of the formula? TIA!
I don't know I was thinking they might be different. Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for this find! I was able to get somewhat closer pics with my phone.

I find that some colors are similar but not exactly the same--and this mostly occurs with metallics. For example, "Tomorrow Never Dies" is not as metallic as the RNP, and neither is "Cosmo Not Tonight Honey" or "Pompeii Purple"--and these ones are only from my experience. "Deutsch you want me baby" definitely has a different quality to it, too but the shimmer in it is so awesome anyway that I don't mind. I feel likegel metallics have a lot more depth to them, whereas RNP metallics look flatter and make a better "foil" appearance on the nail.
Exciting! I'm going to have to save for these somehow, along with Peace & Love & OPI.
I almost got the Showgirls Axxium collection a year ago, but I like bottled gels much more.I find that some colors are similar but not exactly the same--and this mostly occurs with metallics.

Good to know! I guess if I'm looking at creams, I can go with the gel but I don't want to lose the depth of metallics. Right now I'm debating if I should get the rnp or gel of Love & Peace & OPI.
Ooooh that's the main color from the San Francisco collection that I want, too. I definitely want the gel form, and I'm hoping it'll be just as spectacular as the RNP! I'm just not sure if I have enough extra money for it, yet.
I got a little mini set of the rnp to check it out. If the gel wears the same, I won't get it. I love the color shifts but it applies too dark so I won't be able to wear it when I'm working.
