Rainbow Honey Mystery Box

[mandithomas89]

My Mother's Day set and May Mystery Bag should be here today! But I just got an email that my Sweet Talk minis and Galaxy minis won't be with them because they're on backorder. They apologized and asked me to pick out a full size item I want for them to ship out with it to make up for it. It's so refreshing to have CS being proactive and reaching out to me and offering that as opposed to having to chase someone down to get an answer. (I'm looking at you, Glossybox, Birchbox, Julep, SquareHue.)

Anyway, so much stuff is sold out. So right now I'm deciding between Orionids, Midnight Fountain, and Tidal Wave and I can't make up my mind.

My Mother's Day bag will also be here today! I got the lavender one so when it's here I'll post a photo and we can see if it's any different from the Sakura one. And I decided to place an order for the May mini bag and the Rainbow Honey cuticle oil last night, and I can confirm the IPSY25 25% off code does work on multiple orders, even if you have a log in! That code is good through 5/31.

I just got my Mother's Day mystery bag/box. The box was packaged in two bubble wrap bags (good!), and when I opened the second, woo boy, I could smell the lavender!
 
About the polishes:

Spoiler

The polishes seem to be the same colors as in the spoilers @ posted earlier in this thread. I really, really like the super glitter polish, even more so in person than in the pictures.

Edit to add: I made an order the other day and it says "fulfilled," but has not shipped and has been "fulfilled" for a couple of days but my card hasn't been charged. I, too, ordered the creme set. I assume that if there's a problem I'll hear from Rainbow Honey? I'm worried because the May mystery bag says "sold out," and I got that one to give to my best friend for her birthday. Really, almost everything I bought says sold out now. Eeek.

My Mother's Day box arrived today! I got it in the French Lavender scent, and man is it strong! But luckily lavender may be one of those smells that won't give me a headache for some made up reason or another, so hopefully it stays that way. Love this box though!

My May RH mystery bag came on Friday, while the perfume smells dreamy I was dissapointed that I got the queen bee lip balm instead of the lime. My husband is too cute he likes how the soap makes his hands soft lol. I put the bloom top coat over my Piaf Zoya polish and I really like it. If you use petifour polish be sure to do a thick base coat...I had a heck of a time getting it off. The glitter chunks stuck to my nails even after soaking the in polish remover for a good while. I actually used the nail sticks they sent to pick off all the glitter chunks. Wave is beautiful, but more suited for winter. So I'd say it was a 50/50 bag for me this month.

Tip on any polish containing glitter:  Use two coats (make sure each one dries all the way before the next coat) of school glue as base coat.  The resulting mani will only hold up for a day or two, but it's *really* easy to remove.  I can usually just pop it right off my nail in one piece with just a little pressure/push combo with the opposing hand's thumb.  It totally changed my glitter-wearing life!

OPI also makes a peel off base coat for glitter polish. I just tried it for the first time and I got almost 4-5 days out of my mani. It's hard to find, my local Sally's doesn't carry it so I ordered it from Ulta. It seriously works great!! I highly recommend it....I even bought a bottle for my friend!!

I have no problems with nail polish (glitter or no) peeling off.  my nails want to naturally repel nailpolish - I can just peel a whole nail off (nailpolish that is) without issues.  I have glitter residue sometimes, and my lomasi works for that.

I am trying all sorts of things to make my nailpolish last longer, but so far, nothing works...

I saw that in their ad and wanted to get it, but it was sold out online. I haven't made it over to a store yet though.

I finally got all my orders. I love it all. Don't know what to use first. And got 6 square hues too. Eek!

 

[biancardi]

I feel overloaded with nail polish!!  I have to do my toes...I got my eco-emi bag today and they had a nice nailpolish in a bronzey color - by suncoat - a water based nailpolish!!

When you reply, it's the third button from the top, says BB Codes? And then you can select spoiler.  It took me a while to figure out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Click the little button that has a "t" on it, then in the pop up window click the drop down menu that says "Twitter" and select "Spoilers". Then just hit ok and add your images in between the spoiler tags that will appear in your post. I hope that helps!

I am seriously thinking of doing the rainbow honey sub box monthly. Trouble is I am waiting for my may mystery box to arrive. I was wondering if you could tell me, is the sub box separate from the mystery boxes?

 

[biancardi]

mystery box is the monthly sub box.

They're pretty much the same thing.  The card just says "May's mystery bag by rainbow honey," and it doesn't mention the subscription at all.  The subscription just means you set it and forget it, so to speak.  Sign up once, and it will just continue to come month after month, even if you make no other purchase!  From what I've seen on Instagram, it does look like some of the non-polish items may differ -- different flavors of lip balm, some people received a scrub and/or nail honey -- but the polishes are the same.

I am on my ipad but using full desk version and don't see any of that.

This is what my two screens look like. The second one is when I hit more reply options.

@@LinaMingo I have a problem accessing the full editor (with the buttons, dropdown menus, etc.) at times even on my laptop.  I have no clue why.  I just use text whenever I need to do spoilers.  Just take the spaces out of the following to start and end your spoiler block:
