Will we ever get a nice light violet to wear?
I wonder what would happen if we mixed one of the dark purples with white?

I've mixed Bella's Vamp and Sheek white together. I didn't get a princess tiara color, but that's not what I was going for, LOL. I imagine if you used just a tad of a dark purple you might be able to get that effect though. Hm............. more ideas to play with, LOL
No!!!!! Really? I am wearing it right now too, I will report back 
Violetta Darling turned completely gray in one week. Same deal as with P. Tiara.
Overall, I am very pleased. I used Gelish base and top; today is exactly one week and I have no chips or lifting. Considering it was my first gel mani ever, I think it's a sweet success
Nooo! I was so excited about a pale lilac/lavender that had staying power. Maybe when OPI comes out with GelColor in Lucky, Lucky Lavender?
Looks like Purify is the equivalent of Gelish Cleanser as last step to remove tacky residue
I was in Ulta again today using another coupon! I couldn't decide what to get so instead of just 1 (I said Id only get one) I got 2! Haha. Got 9 inch heels and the lighter silver gray (I am at a loss for the name right now!)
I saw that they finally got in the Oh So 90210. Its a bright pink color... pretty, just not me.
I now have 4 RCM colors... so Im gonna do my next mani in it, just dont know what color yet!

Ah, ok. Sorry I was on my phone at the time so couldn't really look it up. If that's what it is you could either get the Gelish cleanser from Sally's if Ulta is out of the RCM one, or just use Alcohol to remove the tacky layer. Plain old 70% rubbing alcohol works just fine, and is what I usually use, unless I manage to find the 91% as my local drugstore has it once in a while. It's cheap and readily available!
Am I the only one who notices typos I made when someone quotes a previous post? LOL. I never notice them at the time, and many times it is because of my darn iphone auto correct, but sometimes they are funny. or maybe it's just funny because i'm so tired from working all day right now, LOL (speaking of which, super funny site here for those who've never seen it. Also this one, if you need a laugh, LOL. Sorry, back on topic...in my sort of OT post....LOL)
I think my favorite though is that my phone ALWAYS changes "artistic colour gloss" to "artistic collie gloss" unless I think to fix it at the time. LMAO.
The first site cracks me the heck up! I was crying I was laughing so hard the first time I read some of the stuff!

Yeah, I got that, I just don't know cause I don't physically have it here anymore! Do you have the Gelish one? Does that one open. If so I'm betting the Ulta one does too. I can't remember who has what anymore! I think unless you want the small size for travel, a regular tunnel light might be a good bet instead, similar cure times and can be used for all UV Gels.
I'll try to take some pics tomorrow of my Midnight Affair Mani. I'm happy with the end result but found the formula thick and the brush was not the easiest to get to spread nicely to apply at the cuticle edge. It kinda spread and left a squarish shape that made it hard to get a neat rounded edge. The color also took three coats to darken to where I wanted it (navy) and I used my spectraflair topcoat on it, of course! Can't resist. It really sparkles in the sun, but doesn't look really blingy inside. I thought I was going to wear it flat, but just liked it better not quite flat!
Gelish/Geleratiton and ACG I find to be similar. I think the brush in the ACG is pretty similar to the brush in the mini neons I have, but don't remember them being hard to spread. I have only painted my kids nails with those so maybe I just didn't notice cause their fingers are shaped differently?

Was reading some of the other gelish and shellac threads and was trying to figure out what RCM stood for...googled it and found out about the Red Carpet Manicure gel polish now available at Ulta. (great name) Then I found this thread but I was so dispointed. I was just at ulta this morning, after my daughters softball game, and didn't even see any of the polish. Dang, I live an hour away too.....ulta.com here I come What is ACG abbreviated for???

ACG = Artistic Colour Gloss - wonderful gel polish by same people who did Gelish
FWIW, at my Ulta, the RCM wasn't with the other nail polish, but over in the section with the drugstore brand cosmetics. I almost missed it.
