Yep, what she said.
Price comparison by bottle size only matters if you're gonna use the whole bottle which in most cases I probably won't. In the end, for me, it comes down to price per application. So I buy the colors I want most, in the least expensive brand that I like. The little ones take up less space; otherwise I wouldn't care what size the bottle is.
I was actually talking about the RCM bottles, but like ferret said with a Beauty card and/or a coupon they're not more expensive than Amazon. And the special release ones go on clearance; then they're even less than RCM. The only reason I don't have lots of Gelish minis too is because the color selection is so small (and mostly boring IMO) at Sally's. I wish they had more colors in mini.
Lastly, the Gelish bottles do have expiration dates on them. We have yet to see if that really means anything. But if it does mean that one will end up throwing them in the trash in 5 or even 10 years, the big ones definitely won't turn out to be cheaper then. For home use, they will be a waste of money unless you only own a small handful of colors.

She says champagne night is duo chrome terra cotta with a green shift. That sounds pretty to me!

Sounds awesome to me too! I want to order it, but I am afraid as soon as I order it it will be in the store and I will want to just buy it right there and then I will have 2 of them!
But it sounds so surprising to me too! Just so not like them. I need to see a pic or hear from one of you girls, lol.
That's one of the reasons I was waiting, to see if it was sheer cause I was suspecting it might be. I don't want any sheers.
This one I'm still betting is more like Night Shimmer.
Edit: or not, ha ha. Now that I read it, her description makes it sound new. But not something I need either.

Thanks for the coupon! Makes sense why I don't get the coupons my stepmom has the beauty card and I've always just used hers because I didn't realize more benefits were available! She doesn't have an email so again never knee about this extra luxury! Her card expires next month so I will be getting my own now
guess that's what I get for trying to be cheap lol!And now I really really want to know what champagne night looks like!
You get the cost of the card back anyway, in a coupon. So it's free as long as you shop again.
I've never had a problem, they've always let me use them anyway.
Dupes. Dupes dupes dupes.
I would say the silver one (I can't believe it) has a little more larger glitter pieces than my bottle of waterfield, but if you already have waterfield you certainly do not need both! They are the same for all intents and purposes.
I wouldn't really call it a duochrome myself. It has a slight greenish flash, but it's a dupe of Gelish Reserve. If you wanted reserve though, this is your polish! LOL.
I was really hoping it would be like night shimmer, as I don't have that in Gelish. I'll be Returning both the Silver one (I can't Believe it) and Champagne nights, as I have them already in gelish. I'm glad i didn't get the red one too, i bet it really is just good gossip.
What a freaking hassle. I hate having to mail stuff back. Thanks for the coupon!

I would definitely get a card and amke sure you give them your email, as they email all the coupons to you. If you forget to print it, like I many times do, they will take the code right off the coupon, which I can pull up on my phone from my email. If they tell you they can't, they are full of crap, my local stores do it for me almost every time. Even if i do remember to print my coupon, I usually forget to take it with me! LOL.

You can return online purchases to the store. Darn I guess I'll be doing the same.
