I have had gel manis done in the salon, but just today bought the Pro starter kit at Ulta. I also bought the Simply Stunning Polish. So far I really like it - first application went pretty easily.

Welcome to our world of DIY SOGS. I have beautiful nails for the first time in my life. For me it is a wonderful product.

Well, so far I am really happy with it! I did a mani last Sunday with Simply Stunning and just removed it this morning. It had not chipped at all and still looked great! Pretty impressive, considering regular polish chips on me within 1-2 days, and the last salon gel mani I had (using the OPI gel polish - not Axxium) peeled off within 3-4 days.

I'm going to pick up a few more colors!

Thanks!

I just picked up 3 more polishes - It's a Champagne Night and Award Winning, which were on clearance at Ulta for $4.99 each. I also got And the Winner Is. Looking forward to trying them!

It really is a wonderful addiction. For ideas, do a search on those color names, and click on images. You will find more nail art ideas than you will ever need. Sometimes I have as much fun searching out my next mani idea as I have actually doing the mani. Ultimate fun tho, is wearing it!

hey ladies, I just bought a sensationail kit from CVS. I plan on using it to "sandwich" regular polish between the base and top coat.. but now I'm trying to figure out as far as the LED lamp goes which one is better... SensatioNail or RCM? I can't find the specs to see which one is better. Online, I like that the RCM is bigger to put my hands in or both hands if I want to. Any opinions would be great.

I have the sensationail but have seen the rcm. Both are made for 4 finger cures then thumbs separately to cure correctly. Neither would be able to accommodate both hands. The RCM is a larger LED wattage so it cures 15 sec faster than the Sensationail. I have had the Sensationail light for a couple months and I really like it.

I just found the new Neon and Shimmering Night collections at Ulta! So awesome. And nice additions to their core collection, which is mostly in the typical pink-red-purple-nude range.

I'm wearing RCM 'Who Are You Wearing', which is a nice medium blue jelly neon. Pictures soon!

Are there any swatches posted yet of the Shimmering Nights collection? Would someone kindly point me in the right direction please?

I googled and didn't find any. The ones I saw (everything but the purple) looked fairly true to bottle color on the brush. I'm anxious to see what they look like OTN! I did the blue neon first, though. :-s
