Red Carpet Manicure

I've been trying to order online but the ulta website hung up on checkout and now it says that I have $40 more worth of product in my cart than I do, even if I completely empty my cart, it still says I have a $39.94 subtotal even though my cart is empty. Clearing my cookies hasn't worked either. Urgh.
 
I bet that they are, simply because 1) they dry in minutes and there are no smudges and 2) length of wear is MUCH longer than regular polish.

I agree. They can't have a different reaction than those of us who have experienced it. I can't imagine ladies leaving their manicurists to DIY, but those who already enjoy the art of design and painting will definitely be excited. Best thing since sliced bread....as they say.

Same here! I had to make a new account to order and I couldn't get anyone on the phone!

Thanks! That worked. How screwed up is their website that you have to create a new account to order from them?


I also love that I woke up to an email from them "reminding" me that I had left something in my online shopping cart. Um, yeah, I left it all there after trying for an hour to buy unsuccessfully BUY IT from you...:rolleyes:
 
What! That is crazy are they even allowed to do that?

Apparently they were told it was a September 1 launch and they were sticking to it! Mindless drones! It was particularly frustrating because I'm a fairly regular customer there (got the card and all) and you think they'd let me look just to cultivate good customer relations. It's not like they're doing a ceremonial unveiling or something!

Turns out there's another Ulta near me that has theirs out.
 
Maybe this is the universe's way of telling me that I shouldn't be buying more. I was trying to hold off until the SOG Exchange Box got to me before shopping for new colours, but I am champing at the bit to see the new RCM, Orly and OPI gel polishes.

I know exactly what you mean, I was the same way with these RCM polishes though I havent seen ulta carrying the orly or opi gels yet. I think those arent going to be out till late fall but I am super excited about those because I liked the axxium but its hard to do it yourself.

Yea that is so silly I would say well if you refuse I will just go to this...... Ulta and purchase from them since thier store and evvery other store out there already has the display out :p
 
Thanks ,yea I figured they probably hit this past sunday I am just hoping that they arent really picked over but who knows we will see tonight. Since I want to use my 20% off coupon before it expires. Did you get there version of base and top coat as well or do you think it will work with the gelish base n TIO ? If I find any colors I like I am going to try and swatch them and put them up tonight

I would just use gelish base and top, or whatever brand you have. So far I haven't found any incompatibilities.

Just got my Ulta flyer that features RCM. I would bet money that OPI will be putting a SOG into Sephora sometime soon. OPI is already sold at Sephora with their Sephora by OPI colors. OPI is also coming out with an "in the bottle" gel polish this fall.

What I don't know is if these gel polishes will be a big hit with the public at large. It does take a bit more skill and finesse to apply.

I don't think there is really any more skill involved really. Just a small learning curve. So far gel polishes have been a huge hit with the general public!
 
I did the same as Gelish just 2 mins for each coat(using a36watt uv light) and used the Top it off sealer (didn't use the foundation on the swatches) but it worked fine no color rub off at all which was nice because with Gelish sometimes I will get a tiny tiny bit
did you use a different lamp? I bought the red carpet lamp. Do you think it will be ok? I am new to the process!
