The lighting in the two pics is different so it's hard to tell. Can you take a single pic of them together at spun point?

Regee said:So, I had to take off my 1st attempt at a manicure.....as I've posted, it was a HOT MESS!!! This is my 2nd mani. which turned out well, NOW if only it DOESN'T CHIP
I used RCM Structure & Brillance, and Gelish Tiger blossom (which I LUV)
I don't know if I'm too extreme, but I was NOT able to get thin coats using the 'dry brush' method. I'm referring to when you wipe the brush off on both sides then polish nails. I DID wipe both sides of brush, but was only able to polish one nail. I think I'm wiping off MOST of the product....
Looks great !
Sorry ladies the lighting may not be the best as my room is now a darker color then a few mths back and also it is starting to get dark here by 5 530 some days when I get home from work.
Ok ladies here are the pics: left to right-Gelish Light Elegant,RCM I simply adore your nails,Gelish Less Talk, Gelish You're so sweet You're giving me a tooth ache.

Went and visited the other Ulta today, since I didn't have to work after all. No new ProGel there, but they did have the first 8 of the new RCM colors.
Definitely Dupes it would appear. Some of these we already know, if not all of them.
Best Dressed = Gelish Elegant Wish
Wow = Gelish Bronzed
Dripping in Luxury = Gelish Night Shimmer
My Inspiration = Gelish Jet Set minus the shimmer
Tinsel Town = Gelish June Bride
The ones I'm not 100% sure of:
One of a Kind = Entity One Amethyst studs?
Simply Adorable = Gelish Pink Smoothie?
I simply Love your nails = Gelish Less talk?
I picked up two, since I was returning the two LE dupes I had. I was all for getting the purple One of a kind until I looked at it, and it looked a lot like amethyst studs. Since I didn't get it I can't swear it's 100% a dupe.
I cannot swear that Simply adorable is a pink smoothie dupe, since I don't have pink smoothie. I picked this one up, but it's not really anything original in my collection. I might end up returning this one too. It's a little bit pinker than Less talk and the japanese pink cherry blossom gelish I have, but nothing significant. I'll have to think about it.
I Simply Love your nails does have a subtle shimmer to it, and I think it's a dupe for Less talk. Though, again since I didn't get it I can't say 100%
The other one I picked up of course was dripping in luxury, since i was wanting night shimmer forever.
My jury is still out on if I like the shorter brushes, since I haven't tried to do a mani with any of them yet. For swatching I'm not a fan though, LOL. I tend to swatch just a little thicker, and it's hard to get even, thicker layers on the swatches. The brush is so thick my swatches all end up looking really streaky.
Here is Dripping in Luxury and Simply Adorable, with a few of my other light pinks. I'm not sure you can really see it very well, but the Simply Adorable is just a tad bit more pink than the others.

Hah! You were posting at the same time I was doing my post, LOL.
I simply love your nails looks a tiny bit pinker than your Less Talk, but it's definitely not a serious difference.
I'm debating on keeping Simply Adorable or not. I'll have to see the rest of the colors when they come out. Maybe there will be something I want more. Otherwise I'll keep it for frankening. maybe i'll mix some Pearl EX pigment into it or something.
Lol I know I just noticed that, too funny! I would say it is close to less talk how ever I have to say I like the simply love your nails better then the less talk but there isnt too much of a difference as you mentioned. I am hoping that my ulta will be getting the rest of the new colors in as well to make up the 18 new ones
By any chance do you have a swatch of the OPI Gelcolor Kyoto Pearl? If so how would you say it comapres to Gelish Night shimmer or RCM Dripping with luxury?
Thanks I was thnking about getting it to put over the regular white for a french I am going to try the RCM dripping first and see how I like that and if it gives me the effect I want.

If you are looking for a pearly topper, take a look at Geleration Chic. There are several swatches of it in the Geleration swatch thread. It goes beautifully over a French and it makes a lot of fun colors if you put it over darks.

I was meaning to ask you about Chic. I purchased EZFlow Mirage and noticed when I was swatching it, that it could be a little streaky. I decided to use it as a topper for Ooba Ooba Blue and the results were not good. I found that Mirage had major shrink back. It ended up looking like I had not painted my entire nail with Mirage. The tips were bare, next to the cuticle was bare and it kind of bunched up in places on the middle of the nails.
Does Geleration Chic apply more evenly?
Guess I should have posted this in the "other" thread....but you had mentioned Chic.
