you do not need access to the secret store to get the mystery box/get it at this price.

what's problematic is with these links, anyone can get what's in the secret store:

http://www.julep.com/secret-store/the-champagne-trio-ss.html

http://www.julep.com/secret-store/green-thumb.html

http://www.julep.com/secret-store/kyla-ss.html

http://www.julep.com/secret-store/monica-ss.html

with these codes, you can buy monica and kyla separately. i think the underwater handstand set is beautiful but i already own two of the four. tracy is available as a single and i'm getting these links through my swap group; i remember some of you wanted tracy so i'll be doing my best to get it for you.

Thanks for the links.

I have at least 2 polishes out of all the sets.  But I am reconsidering passing up on the Anniversary set.  Someone posted lovely picks of the colors.  Reiko seems less like Zelda than I thought.

also rumor has it the code JULEP30 takes a percentage off all orders, not just the mystery box

Wait a minute, the mystery box came early? I thought the mystery box comes later like mid week? 
It's a different mystery box. 

That's what I figured. About 5 minutes after I ordered the golden one /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Oh well, hopefully I'll still get a good box and shades I don't already have!

I got the Golden Mystery Box (because I'm a sucker) and the Champagne Trio. I'm really tempting fate getting dupes in the mystery box but for $21, I'll live if I do. lol

I've been naughty.. I just got the Champagne trio and Trina with the code.

I have no willpower whatsoever.

It's true.  I used it on Trina and the trio.

Hi all! I am brand new - signed up for this website and group JUST so that I could talk with you ladies!

I just ordered my first mystery box - I've been a member of Julep for 3 months now, and I never realized they had mystery boxes mid-month - what rock have I been living under?

Also just wanted to confirm that the JULEP30 code works as taking a percentage off your order. I got Tracy, the Golden Mystery Box, and the Underwater Handstand collection (because I am clearly insane) and it cost me just under $40 total.  A good deal, I think!

Billie Jean is beautiful! I wear that color a lot!

Crap....that means I HAVE to go back to grab a couple of those sets. I've been trying to get my hands on Zelda & Etta since may, but I already have most of the colors that come with them.... I could cross my fingers & hope for those two to miraculously show up in my golden box!

 

[GenuineHeather]

I did it! I just ordered the mystery box and another bottle of the polymer top coat. Shhhh....don't tell my husband...

 

[Stumbleina]

Is the topcoat definitely worth the price? I've wanted to try it, but been iffy about it because of that price.. but if it really does dry faster than a normal topcoat, it would be worth it!

I have it and love it. I find that it dries pretty quickly. What I really like about this top coat though is how strong it makes my nails after applying it. It really adds strength to weak nails.

I really like it as well. It dries quick and gives my nails a really shiny look as if they were gels.

Awesome - thank you for the input! I'll have to grab one next month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I really love the hardness and shine it provides. I rarely wear the same nail polish for more than two days, so I can't say if it lasts as long as it claims. Does great for 2-3 days!

I'm sooo tempted to pull the trigger but i just remember how disappointed I was by the NYE mystery boxes which were also supposed to have $100 minimum, and it was $20. ): I'm not pulling the trigger... though I want to! lol

no! you really really need zelda and etta. i didn't upgrade back in may and i seriously regretted it. i managed to pick up the colors with the exceptions of millie and clara and of course at a higher overall cost than the upgrade.

by far, zelda and etta are some of the prettiest shades i have in my collection.

I just meant that I hope it's "golden" as promised.  Because it's the "Golden" mystery box.  I guess I just hope it's good. 

 

[r4chel77]

oh i totally hope so, too! i just don't want anyone on here who is new or has never bought or read up on the mystery boxes to be misled about them.. they can be amazing and they can be really disappointing.

i'm hoping for the former!
