Haha yeah, I do feel bad for Bondi though (well I guess it really depends on the details. Obviously the CEO of Bondi is going to spin the story in a way that makes them look the best). I suspect, though, that Dallas Shaw ain't the only diva at this party!
yeah, the ceo's statement and the blog post are not matching up. first, the blogger sounds unhinged. it's not that serious, lady. secondly, she mentions that the bondi collaboration had glossybox's name on it, but it didn't. dallas shaw's signature was on those bottles. the ceo went out of his way not to deter people from subscribing to gb too...unless he did that to avoid legal action... however, he sounds sincere in his praise for gb, but doesn't mention anything about dallas despite having worked with her to create those colors. hmmm... it sounds like his mention of logistics issues = gb and disagreement = dallas shaw. just my interpretation. i mean, whatever. the bondi nail polish was the item i was least excited about anyway. i'll wait to see the box itself before feeling one way or another about all this.
Actually, probably not, given their prior relationships with nail polish companies. OPI and Zoya -- both of which have been in previous Glossyboxes -- are both made in the US. butter LONDON and Deborah Lippmann are as well. I'm sure there are others, but those are the higher-quality polishes I have within arm's reach that have appeared in subscription boxes. Oh, essie, Orly, and China Glaze, too. Actually, most of the better-than-drugstore brands in my collection are made in the US, so as far as nail polish goes, it would really be a matter of what company could provide 30k bottles on a moment's notice, which probably means one of the big kids (OPI, essie, Orly, Zoya) and not a smaller indie. They did feature essie's neon collection on their Facebook page recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was sent instead.

So I guess bondi has decided to pull their polishes from the June Glossybox. Hopefully this link works, if not, it's posted on their page.

Oh no that was the reason I got a second box
I almost did as well just so I could try for 2 different colors. Now I'm glad I never pulled the trigger. What a disappointment!
Me too, I actually got three boxes this month: one for myself, and two for presents. Really bummed we won't be getting BondiOriginally Posted by JC327 /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I wonder if it has something to do with Dallas herself as they made an effort to encourage people not to blame GlossyBox and said the collection would be re-purposed to be sold on their website.

Hope so!Originally Posted by klg534 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
At least this month we have a good reason for a delayed box.
Thanks for letting me knowOriginally Posted by Kikyo0083 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I have, it's fun to put together, but you have to be more mindful than I thought during construction. When you make it be sure to put a thin but sturdy piece of paper, cardboard or even plastic between the drawers so they don't fall into each other. Also, to avoid the drawers getting stuck you can cut the back of the drawer off a bit so it slides in and out with ease. I cut off the thin pink line in the back and put some masking tape to seal it. It doesn't look glamorous from the back but no one but you knows it's there
