What do ya mean NOT BULLETPROOF?!?!?!.......heehee:laugh:
No really, I know. It's just I'm hard on my hands, I guess. I don't use my nails as TOOLS, but I tend to ram them into things, unintentionally.
Any tips or pointers, other than the obvious-quit jammin' fingers...;)


If you can try picking up some of Gelish Structure gel they recommend that you put a layer of it over the color gel polish and cure and then apply Top it off or whatever your gel sealer may be in this case. They recommend this for those that have problems with the gel polish chipping early on in the manicure.

Dripping in Luxury=Night Shimmer
Only in Hollywood=Good Gossip
Thank U Mom and Dad=Emerald Dust

I agree with BB that Camera Flash=High Voltage
Oh, and I just realized that kandc said Dripping in Luxury=Night Shimmer, so I make two.

Does the one on very end right hand side look like a dark green? The brown one 119 I think and the yellow one I don't think I've seen before
It also looks like they have the limited edition ones on there but with different names....lame lol

I can't tell if it looks dark green or dark grey. Since some of the current colors are also ACG dupes (all the same main company) It's possible there are some ACG colors in there too.

I agree, it appear the LE colors are here with different names! LOL. So hard to tell though based on the dots.

Maybe some of them will be new. One of a Kind looks like a shimmery purple, and i don't recall a shimmery purple in any of these lines. I wonder how wrong the little dots are though!? LOL.

WOW looks a lot like my Gelish Bronzed.

I think Camera Flash looks more like High Voltage, but it could be High Bridge too. Those two always look similar to me in the little dots.

Shimmery Silhouette and Style Savvy look maybe like Glamour Queen and Reserve respectively

Dripping in Luxury is Night shimmer i'm pretty sure.

I'm thinking My Inspration looks more dark grey on my screen, so maybe it's the ACG color that is a dupe for Shellac Asphalt? Can't remember the name now and honestly and too lazy to go look. LOL.

Thank you Mom and Dad looks like waterfield again, going back to those LE colors being repeated. Only in Hollywood then could be good gossip and I am so honored the Allure dupe. Or that one could be Gelish Wicked, which is another gold one, it's more sheer though I think, but you can never tell sheerness from those dots.

I think some of these might be the candyland colors -
The perfect pair looks like it might be a little shimmery - maybe the candyland yellow. Star Power the hot pink candyland and Who are you wearing the blue one.

I can't wait to see them in person though to find out if any of them are really original. LOL

I'm not positive I am seeing this correctly, but Regee to me it looks like you might have applied the polish a bit thickly at the nail edge--especially on the thumb. To me the edge looks a lot thicker than down by the cuticle area. Possible?

This is something that has caused me probs in the past. If I get too thick with my efforts to cap off the edges, it causes the edges to peel and/or chip.

I was going to say the same about the one nail, that it looks like the capping was too thick and that will definitely peel or chip off.

I was going to say the same, that it looks gray. I was wondering if it was Jet Set?

And the preview said some of them were neons, so from the bottles I still guess the yellow, pink and blue will probably be the Gelish neons.

Just went to Ulta and those limited edition colors weren't there like they said....
Click to expand...


I had heard that they will be out in about 3 weeks (this was on RCM's facebook page) and that was a week ago. How ever I know the ulta by me is notorius for not having stuff out when they are supposed to or having new things in there ad and not even having them in the store until days or weeks later.

Ahh that is true I remeber then saying that the 4 wouldbe out before. But I do know that my ulta seems to never have stuff when they are supposed to so maybe it is just a trend but they usually get shipments on thursdays sometimes tues so I would possibly check back again then or before call before you go. I know a lot of the times they have it but wont put it out, that happened to me when RCM first came out

Oh yeah, it could certainly be Jet Set too.

I didn't remember they said some of them were Neons. I guess they must be those then, that swatch of the yellow one looked like it might be shimmery on my screen, lol. I really hate those little dots, LOL

Someone posted I think on the RCM page that they had them in the back and hadn't put them out yet, and even one of the employees didn't know. I swear the employees are so clueless.

Believe it or not my Ulta had some of the new colors out today. I don't remember which ones they had but I know for sure they had camera flash and haute couture. They must have just gotten them in because thy didn't even have the limited edition ones hen I was there a few days ago. Unfortunately I was in a hurry so I didn't have a chance to relly check them out.

Pro-Bond is the type of product I was speaking of, pH Bond is a dehydrator. I think you will have the best luck, based on what I’m seeing as chipping of the nail taking the polish with it...by buffing gently any loose spots off before application and adding a layer or two of structure. If the tips are stronger I think they will be less likely to chip your nails and polish off. If you have polish chipping off but nails left intact try the pro-bond on the tips only to improve the adhesion of the gel to the nail.

Who makes pro-bond? I didn't have any loose/peeling nails when I did my mani. I totally did this damage by wackin' my fingers into something.....I really don't try to. If my nails are longer I wack them even more:huh:
