No, she just said spring, however, last week I went to ulta and the sales associate told me they were having a "reset" on RCM in a couple of weeks.....so we will see!! She explained that a reset can mean: new items and/or kits, or discontinuing of stuff (well we all know that's not happening since they (RCM) said new colors coming) That was last week, so we are closer than we know loll!! I would just keep an eye out at ulta!! I usually go there at least every 1 1/2 weeks for something! I would say: hold tight to your ulta coupons my ladies!!! Lol
You will have to post when you see them I live 2 hours from ULTA so I won't have a clue :)
 
Ok so I know we're not supposed to talk on these threads but oh my God. I love this. Ive been obsessed with the half moon mani for a while now and I must say this is perfect. Great job!

You’re quite welcome. I’ve gotten one warning so far and it annoyed me cause I apologized for commenting on a swatch thread, sometimes the fingers are typing a response before you realize where you are and you can’t delete a post once you hit send!

I got two! I even tried to go remove the text from one when I realized it but it was past the 15 min edit time and too late, so I asked for it to be removed! Got a warning anyway! Lol

OK, here is a pic of my mani. Just want to warn you, judging from the reactions to the discussion about it awhile back, it is not for everyone. You will probably either love it or hate it. I started with gelish foundation, used 2 coats RCM The Night Is Young as the base color, then very carefully and precisely cut pieces of a shed snakeskin which I found on my property to fit the base area of the french tip mani and pressed the pieces into the tacky layer, put on 1 layer of gelish tio to hold it in place, 2 layers of RCM Black Stretch Limo as the tip color, ending with 2 more layers of gelish tio to smooth it out as much as possible.

I am imagining an assortment of both Ooohs and Ewwws going on right now.

It has a bit of texture to it, next time I would probably like to have gelish Structure to smooth it out more as I'm a picker and this will be a real test of self control. I've never had a shatter mani, but it might be kinda close to that. It has a whole animal print look to it, but subtle. Maybe because the background color I chose is so dark, I don't think it is immediately obvious that it is snakeskin. Which is probably a good thing for my first try. It was not easy to work with, and took a long time. I did use Orly bonder base coat under the whole thing, so hopefully that will help with the removal process since I had to use a total of 3 coats of tio.

And with a reminder that this is only my 2nd pic posted, and I'm not a great photog, here it is:

Whoops, pic did not show up, look at my next post for the picture.
