Why the price difference if they're the same?
Not complaining (that's a nice plus since Ulta is closer and has more of a selection) but if the base is the same you have $20 vs $10? For the same product, same size, different package? That's a big difference.
There's not that big a difference between Equate and the real deal brand and that's not even the same companies.
And Ulta often has great coupons! when you use the $3.50 off $10 then it's super cheap! Most of the sales associates will use the coupon on them even though it's technically a penny short at 9.99. I've only ever had one tell me no, and when I said, then nevermind, I don't want it, her counterpart said it was OK to take it off, LOL.
I think it's all marketing, really. RCM is marketed to DIYers. Gelish, even the mini's at Sally's are more marketed toward professionals, so they maintain that more "professional" marketing, and thus price tag. Sometimes Sally's has sales too though - for a while last year they were on sale for like 11.95, and there was a $5 off $25 coupon floating around that was good until the end of the year. Just watch for sales, and scope out some good places to buy online for the full-size bottles if you want them.
That's a pretty color! I think I'd like it best with a coat of white under. I hate when I get VNL lol. I'm sitting her trying to guess what you're going to do with it. Something fabulous I'm sure lol
They're not the same size. I believe that RCM bottles are 9 mls and Gelish bottles are 15 mls. At any rate the Gelish products are bigger.
I'm OK with VNL for some things. I mean, even with this mani, with all it's coats, i have a tiny bit of VNL. it's not bothering me though with this mani. I do with the RCM silver was more opaque though. I wonder if Gelish Night Shimmer is also as sheer - Anyone who has night shimmer know? I think i'm gonna get Orly Gel FX Shine, as I'm pretty sure that is opaque in 2 coats and still a great silver.
I think She was talking about the Gelish Mini's, which are the same size as the RCM's. I do like the mini's for the less space they take up, LOL, and I have quite a few of them since I'll never even use up a whole mini probably, let alone a whole fullsize bottle, but the price they charge for them is nutty when you can get a fullsize online for the same or sometimes less! I do wonder with all the other brands coming out that are cheaper if their prices will come down eventually.
. I was hoping for more opaque silver. I ended up doing a third cost which I didn't want to do to get more opacity!
