What the crap. I was iffy about Rae when it debuted but I got it anyway, just in case, and ended up loving it. I was hoping to get another bottle just to have as back up b/c I liked it so much! I can't believe they've already retired a brand new color

I like Rae too but I'm glad there are dupes out there...when mine runs out I think I'll give Essie Splash of Grenadine a try! I'm shocked they retired it too, that was fast.What the crap.

That's terrible! I'm sorry you and others are still having issues. I know they had to hire a bunch of new people to help with May, so I imagine part of the problem is waiting on the wands to be made so they can send them, part is new hire issues, and part is still underestimating how much product and help they'd need for May. That's crappy they refunded you in Jules instead of your money. I would have thrown a hissy fit at them about that.
Pretty!One thing to remember is that pastels, regardless of the brand, are either slightly goopy or REALLY thin. The streakiness comes from the pigment not being as strong.
I use a base coast with a slight milkiness to it like essie ridge filling or grow faster. Pastel cremes are pretty much NEVER one coaters, so make your first coat kind of thin. Yes, it's going to be streaky. Let that dry pretty well and then do your second coat a little thicker than the first. As long as you didn't leave any bald spots on the first coat, it should even out fairly well. If you feel like you need a 3rd coat, make it really thin or your nails are never going to fully cure. Once you apply your top coat, it should level everything out.
I hope this helps! Also, I used jeanne last night in a quick and dirty mani:

I used the essie grow faster base coat, two coats of jeanne and actually got too tired to deal with a top coat after i did the striping tape disaster with iona on my index finger.
Sorry to see that, glad they are sending you a new one.OT - I was doing my occasionally "polish shaking" where i go through and try to keep formulas mixed up and i was working on my julep collection. I was shaking Drew and this happened:

I called julep today and they're sending me a replacement bottle. You can see some of the splatter on bottle in the background. That's after I'd picked them up off the floor. I also had to clean the polish out of my carpet. Soooo fun.
I agree. I'm lucky I at least got that though. It's ridiculous that after an entire month they aren't willing to refund people's money.
I wish they would have refunded me in anything at all. The CS rep was flippant when I asked about the whereabouts of my box. No offer for any kind of compensation. Now they've sent me the wrong items. I emailed them and informed them that I want them to make it right ASAP. I have very low expectations of this company now.
The first person I talked to early last week was very "sucks for you" about it. When I called Saturday I think it was early enough for the rep to not really know what was going on so I lucked out. This month is a mess. I don't see how they are going to be able to successfully roll out all these maven changes for June.
Other than SquareHue, there's
