…and why you haven’t seen me swatch it yet.
The Gelish Spring 2020 collection, called Editor’s Picks is a beautiful set of 6 pinks, mauves, and light purple colors.
Commenting on the launch of the new collection, Danny Haile, CEO and Founder of Gelish Soak-Off Gel Polish, says: “Spring is a great time of year to embrace soft shades like nudes and pinks. These are the perfect colours and tones to take us from the cold winter season into the warmer days ahead. This collection is feminine and delicate with key classic colours that will make for the perfect springtime manicure!”
The colors are:
- Barely Buff, a pale pink creme
- I Speak Chic, a rosy taupe creme
- Call My Blush, a soft pink creme
- On Cloud Mine, a peachy pink
- Going Vogue, an antique rose creme
- It’s Your Mauve, a mauve creme
When I saw this collection, I knew I wanted it for personal use. Here’s the problem…
They’re really hard to find!
What is going on with Gelish lately? The minis are no longer being stocked at Sally Beauty. The collection was released on February 1, I believe. However, I couldn’t find these at Sally Beauty. By March, the U.S. was full swing into the COVID-19 pandemic, and my local Cosmoprof was closed. Here we are in mid-May and I’ve finally been able to go back in Cosmoprof, but they only had a couple of the colors. They told me they’ve not had a supply truck in over 6 weeks.
So what are the options for people who want to purchase these via legitimate channels?
- Via their Instagram page, Gelish mini suggested I purchase from Amazon.com ($59.95 for all 6 in mini bottles) or GetGelished.com (for $12.99 each, and only 5 colors are available).
- The full size bottles are available via Cosmoprof online for $17.85 each (ouch!)
- In a YouTube video, a Gelish Educator suggested purchasing at NTS. ($16.95 each, and only 5 colors are available).
As you can see, it can be somewhat difficult to find the entire collection. I’m not sure what’s going on with the supply chain for Gelish but it’s getting pretty frustrating!
Ultimately I broke down and bought the full set from Amazon.com, and I plan to swatch them when they arrive. What about you? Did you have difficulty finding these?
