Rainbow Honey Mystery Box

[biancardi]

Did anyone else notice they got so cleaned out at Mother's Day they've had to pull the site for a bit:

"Our shop is closed, but no worries we are working around the clock to restock! Our May Mystery Bag, the Final Battle, the Summer of 199x, the Midnight Garden Collection and some of our "sold-out" products are making their way back to our shop...Everything starts Friday, May 16th! We'll re-open bright and early at 9 AM EST. See you soon! Love, Rainbow Honey"

They have done this on occasion - back in March was the last time I remembered it...

Boo, the petit four doesn't look all that great on my olive-toned skin.  Yellow never really has, at all, but I figured I would give it a try anyways.  I'll leave it on for a couple days and see if I possibly grow to like it.

They take down the site every day before the 1st to get the new stuff up. I don't mind just means there will be more things added!

I used it on my toes and really didn't like the yellow at first, it had kind of a fungus look to it - not good. It looks better out in the sunlight though.

It looks really pretty on everyone else's hands in their pictures.  It's just the tone of my skin that has never meshed well with yellow. 

I wanted to tell you, too, to get the glitter off... 100% acetone polish remover.  It's all I use, and I never have issues with getting the glitter off.  That and cotton pads.

I figured everyone was using pure acetone to get all these glitters off but just hadn't gotten around to buying it. My nails have been breaking a lot lately and I'm worried the acetone will just make it worse.

You can mix your own nail polish remover to make it similar to Zoya Remove - just need to add a little bit of glycerine and water to acetone (the water allows the mixture to hold together, since glycerine and acetone don't mix). There are some DIY tutorials out there on various blogs. With the glycerine, it's not quite as drying as pure acetone.

The Petit Four has grown on me, like I figured it would... haha.  I'll be ordering the full-sized May bag tomorrow so I can get my hands on that full-sized summer juice rollerball, and I'll ask them to preeeeeeeeeeety please send me that lime balm.

I just used 2 coats of a DIY glue (because I was impatient and am mad I can't find OPI Glitter Off anywhere!!) and my super glittery mani just popped off. Trying with with 1 coat now as well.  I tried to add a video link in post.  Is that an option anymore?? I couldn't find it.

Still waiting for my May mystery bag to arrive. I got a shipping notice a couple days ago so soon I hope! While I was waiting for it I decided to sign up for the mini sub starting in June. I'm so excited! I get 2 ipsy bags but I am going to cancel the second. I'd rather have the rainbow honey bag /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

By the way, I just found the OPI glitter off on amazon, do you think it's safe to buy it there? Never gotten polish from there before.

Some retailers on Amazon are actual beauty supply companies so I would suppose it might be OK.  I am heading to Ulta tomorrow out of town so hopefully they have it.  I need it this weekend!!!

I noticed that the sizes on both the April and May perfume samples are listed differently.  The Summer Juice says it's 2ml and the Rose Nectar says it's 1ml.  Since they are both the same size bottles and same amount of liquid (from as far as I can tell) one of them is obviously wrong.  Would you guys say that the 2ml is more accurate?

I bet that 2ml is probably more accurate, based off the Lavendula from one of the earlier boxes that's half the size and claims 1ml.

Amazing customer service!!! Along with my May bag I had ordered a single polish too. She just emailed me to say it was back ordered and would ship next week but asked me to please choose a full sized item for free to ship whith it !!! That is pretty remarkable. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Feeling pretty good about this company !

I love the polish I really do but for the first time in MONTHS I have chipped polish. It's the Femme Bot one. Boo hoo hoo

So put on the OPI glitter off and my new petit four and guess what happens the next morning? They all start peeling right off! My manicure didn't even last 24 hours /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I haven't tried the OPI glitter off, but my experience with Nail Pattern Boldness' Glitter A Peel (same basic product as the OPI, but indie produced) is this:

The more coats you use of the peel-base, the quicker it peels off. One coat tends to last a couple of days, two coats of the base peels in a day or less, especially after taking a shower. Glitter peel off base typically doesn't last as long as traditional base coat. I've learned that if I use Glitter A Peel, then my normal base coat then polish, the polish peels super fast, lasting a day at best.

I just put on waves last night, and I didn't find it to be thick or gloppy.  It is holding up well right now.

I used the OPI one for the first time last week and I got three or 4 days out of it.  Then I used it yesterday and got like 12 hours out of it.  The first time I did my nails then went to bed, the second time I did my nails and did the dishes and laundry and the polish literally fell right off by the next morning.  I did my nails again last night and used it, and I have a few small chips but no peeling yet. 

The last 2 times, I did a rather sloppy, quick job, so that may account for some of it.  I am still experimenting with it, but I do like how easy it comes off.
