No, it’s definitely lighter. I should actually have that swatched here somewhere if I haven’t lost it, cause I owned it at one point and traded it away. If I can find it tomorrow and remember I will take a pic to compare them.

Plus RCM already has the dupe out for starburst, I believe, was it 9” nails? I could go check the list, but I’m too lazy :)

Yes, you're correct...(just checked the list)....sort of ....it's 9" heels not the rock group :) lol

I called my Ulta and they said they didn't think they had them in. I went in and didn't see them but now that I've seen some of you say they were hard to find I hope that I didnt miss them!!! I'm gonna go back next week to see if they are in yet. I know the Candyland collection at Sallys wasn't with their setup, so I should have searched more at Ulta!

I scoured every inch of my ulta over the weekend and asked, and then called the other one. I'll have to keep checking. I'll actually be down by the other ulta tomorrow, so maybe if I have time I'll pop in there. Not sure i'll make it. Doing a move and dinner with the family.

Yep, plenty. I sort of push it to the back toward my cuticle and then stroke the whole thing forward.

And no, it doesn't stiffen up at all - do you mean the light you're working under? I started out trying to use an LED task light I had and it definitely started stuff curing while I was working.

Ummm, ok. Yes I'm referring to the light I use to see. It's a regular bulb, 60 or 75watt...

My store had them, but if I wasn’t looking hard for them I’d have never found them. The new ones were on the bottom shelf below the old display and they weren’t even arranged. I don’t know if any were missing...but I got the shimmer purple (one of a kind) cause I didn’t have anything like it. It looked like it applied a little streaky on my swatch. Here it is with my other purple polishes

I have not seen any other line with this purple color.
Dripping in Luxury was definitely a Night Shimmer Dupe. Good Gossip is definitely that 4th LE Red. The two pinks were very close, I think the darker of the two might be Go Girl, but I didn’t bring my swatches with me. There is also a light pink glitter, June Bride maybe, I don’t have that one. One looked dark gray, as Tohillary said, no shimmer that I could see, but it didn’t lean purple to me either...just gray. Hmmm. I’d have taken actual notes if I had my swatches, but had to settle for just looking since I didn’t :)

Here is a picture of the new purple. It isn't the best photo, but it will give you an idea. I will try to post a better picture later today.

I almost picked that one up too, but was afraid it was too close to Kiss the Bride and I haven’t even worn that one yet. You’ll have to compare the two for me! Guess we have similar taste, or just similar holes in our color line up of SOG’s!

They are really close. The RCM has a little more pink, but not enough for me to justify keeping it. I am going to return it. I will post comparison pics today.

So, I did my nails this morning....I used the method of wiping both sides of brush then dabbing each nail, then going back and spreading polish. I polished my dominant hand 1st & it turned out ok, but then I noticed I was running out of time (had dr's appt) and did my 2nd hand. Even though I was using my dominant hand it turned out BAD:nuts:
nails.jpgWhen I did the last step the polish wiped almost completely of that one finger!! The 1st hand done, color is darker/denser (only did 1 coat on each/both hands).
So, I'll be removing it and re-doing the whole thing this afternoon:wacko:

Regee,

Your manicure is not curing properly. I don't know what kind of light you are using, but it's not working correctly. Needs to be a UV lamp with 4 UV compact fluorescent bulbs (preferably Phillips brand bulbs) or the Red Carpet Manicure mini PRO light (not the battery operated one).

keep fingers flat under the light. thumbs separate for mini pro.

Your polish should not all be wiping off at the end.
