Rainbow Honey Mystery Box

[Amber McCarley]

When it comes to nail polish subs this is the only one I even consider. I love the option to get minis and I am a HUGE glitter polish fan.

I haven't given up my Julep sub yet (although it still may happen), but I have definitely fallen in love with Rainbow Honey thanks to so many wonderful MUT enablers! Even the mini mystery bag feels like such a tremendous value, and I LOVE every single thing I got in June's bag. I'm not even that crazy about lip balm, but theirs are the best I've ever tried, next to Fresh Sugar lip treatments.

I actually haven't subbed to the mystery bag yet, because there's so much I want to purchase, it just makes sense to wait until the 1st and buy enough to get it and the limited edition of the month for free!  I'm also very impressed with their customer service, as I just had an issue with an order last week, and they were very proactive and generous in resolving the problem!

@@Andi B I love the exfoliating soap in June's bag.  I want a full sized one!!  Tea Biscuit, along with Summer Juice, are my favorite scents with RH so far /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@biancardi I am planning on buying the Summer Treats set in the Summer Juice fragrance as soon as the July mystery bag & LE polish are up!  I'm glad to hear you like that scent so much, as I've never tried it, and I'd hate to order the whole $75 set in a fragrance that I might not like.  I love tea biscuit too!

So starting in July I will be receiving the monthly subscription! I am sooo excited!

Question- I recently ordered Mint Flavor, Be Mine and Tessie from RH.  They are all thick and difficult to use and Mint Flavor is pretty goopy.  I received them in April and it was cool here so they didn't sit in a hot mailbox or anything.  Has anyone had this issue?

I know that when you receive polish when it's cold out, you need to let it warm up to room temperature for a day or so before opening it otherwise it gets goopy and thick.

I'm guessing that isn't the case here, it's possible that something else is going on. Have you tried shaking up the bottles well to see if that fixes it? If that didn't help, then you might be better off emailing them asking for advice.

I've had them at room temp for about a month before I used them.  I have shaken them but no success.  I just wanted to see if anyone else found that the RH texture was thicker/harder to control than mass-produced polish.  I would hate to email them and have them reply that it's the normal texture for the polish or something.

I live where it is hot and my Rainbow Honey polishes are thicker than others, especially the super-glitter polishes. However, once I open them again and stir it around they're generally fine and I normally don't have problems applying them (except when I get to the very bottom of the mini polishes).

They shouldn't be thicker, at least the ones I have don't seem thick to me. It's /possible/ that they used a thicker suspension base on that batch of colors, but i'd say definitely email them if you're unsure. I love their customer service, don't be afraid to ask them about it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

IMO, all that I've tried (6 minis) have been pretty thick. I think she has a thick suspension base which she isn't cutting. The best thing to do is get some thinner and have at it.

The minis tend to run on the thick side and will evaporate fairly quick, especially with the glitters. I've never had this problem on the full size bottles, just the minis.

My Sea Star full size was on the thick side. I haven't bothered breaking out the thinner yet to see if I can thin it out, but I do plan on doing that the next time I use it.

Hmmm I have some Orly thinner, I think I'll do that then.  I really appreciate all of the input!! I adore RH colors, customer service, the whole shebang is really a company I like to support.

The really hot pink gel that we got in June's bag - I had to thin it quite a bit.  I find that some minis thicken up faster than others.  The milky ones seem to hold their own.

I gave in and emailed them about mine, Ichigo was the color. I still haven't given in and bought thinner, but my mini fill line was lower than normal and it was the thickest polish I have ever used. The mani I did with it looked terrible up close. I have no doubt customer service will help me out, they are extremely generous. I'm used to the RH minis being thick, but this was way out of the norm.

My Ichigo is thick too but I attributed it to the shard/flakies. It didn't level when I wore it and took 3 coats to get the opacity I liked. Interested in seeing what they say.

agreed - this is what happened to me - I need to email them as well - it is a beautiful color but it just goes on gloppy.

I am a nail polish novice. How does one go about thinning Nail polish?

Sally Beauty has a thinner you can get pretty cheap. I think it's 3.50 for 4 oz. you just add a few drops shake it up and Tada!!!
