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. 

Yep... I received a Sakura Matsuri sugar scrub and a mini Nail Honey cuticle balm instead of the lip balm. I was actually looking forward to trying the lime-flavored lip balm, and I had already ordered three mini cuticle balms in the same doggone package as my mystery box! Ah, well, they'll get used, and I really am not too bummed about it, because this was such a fun little package to open.

I about never got Neon Blooms off last night! I had to seriously pick at the big flakes. My toes are in Petit Fours right now and I'll probably just leave it on there forever if its as hard to take off as people say. I just did it quick so I didn't use a base coat.

In other news, was anyone's bottle of Waves kind of thick? I used it last night and it was kind of difficult. It seemed to dry too fast on the brush and goop up before I could even get it on my nail. It turned out pretty 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.

Aww. I would have liked to get something other than the lip balm. I can only stand Burt's Bees! Flavored or non-medicated lip balm feels so gross to me. I really want to try the cuticle balm, not for my cuticles but for the skin around my nails. I work with money and it gets so dry.

Something for the swap pile I suppose!

I just did one finger with it the other night while I was trying out a bunch of colors and it came off pretty easy for me with the Karma Organic polish remover.

I figure part of my problem is that I just use cheap remover. I should invest in something half way decent probably lol Its not like I don't use it constantly!

Honestly for glitters and the really stubborn ones, the Target white/blue up&up tub is one of the best I've ever found.  I think someone tipped me off on a Julep forum awhile back.

I have big bottles of Zoya and OPI, plus Sephora and Julep's, and the Target one is always the one I grab to take off glitters and stubborn shimmers.  Instead of the typical sponge inside, it has a 360-plastic scrubber.  I let it soak in about 20 seconds, start scrubbing, and voilà!

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I'll have to pick some of that up next time I'm at Target!

Glitters in general are hard to take off. There are a number of methods out there that people have come up with to battle removal. You can also try Elmer's glue as a base coat and then peel it off when you're ready. Foil method is another way but its a little on the painstaking side.

Waves was difficult for me. I used it twice and it was so thick both times, even though I did thin it. Its so pretty though that I'm willing to deal with it but is certainly hard to work with.

I got my Mystery Bag today!  Love it so much!  I couldn't decide what color to use, so I used all of them, lol!

@@BeMyBait which one is chipping?  Mine is holding up pretty well, but I didn't have any problems with Waves going on too thick. 

 

[ellesnails]

It won't let me quote on my phone. I think I wore waves for about two and a half days, maybe three, didn't have any chipping with it. Did you use a base coat?

Waves is the one that's chipping. I think it just went on too thick. I used the OPI Base Coat AND Top Coat. I did them Monday Night, so its been not even 3 days yet >.< Oh well. It's still gorgeous!

Wow, that's crazy! They were featured in last month's Ipsy bag, too, so I think that gave them a lot of business. One of the things I ordered last week is backordered, but they were really nice about it.

Now I'm kind of jello that some of you got queen bee balm and lime balm.  I got honeymint, and I hateeee peppermint/minty lip balms.  I'm going to try out my petit four polish today, and if I like it, i'll order a large May bag tomorrow and ask them to please send me a lime balm.  I'm a lime addict, plus unf @ that summer juice.  I love their perfumes so much! 

 

[Kelly Silva]

Once I saw there were different lip balm flavors I traded for the lime because I figured I'd probably get the bee one. I wouldn't mind honey mint either, that sounds good.

 

[BeMyBait]

I saw that today. I went there to look into the Lip Balms when I realized I can't see anything until tomorrow!
