Happy Thursday! With Polish & Beauty Expo coming up – I have a TON of posts to share. But I’m kicking it off with a non PBE post, and we’re going to look at the Fandom Flakies Box July 2022 and the theme is Bridgerton.
The July 2022 guest maker is Dreamland Lacquer – and as always the guest maker selects the theme, and Dreamland Lacquer selected Bridgerton.
So basically Fandom Flakies Box has 2 constant makers – Night Owl Lacquer and Bee’s Knees Lacquer. Ribbits Stickits is also a familiar face to the box – bringing fun add ons to the box to really bring the theme to life. Then there is a guest maker. The guest maker each month picks the theme for the box and the themes range from video games to tv shows to movies. Sometimes others – but those are the most common. Basically anything with a possible “fandom” is fair game in this box.
Every month when the shop opens there are 40 Ready To Ship boxes made. Usually it will be said as “RTS” and that’s what that means. They are ready to go.
When you purchase a box, you will only receive the 3 polishes. It’s a flat rate of $33 plus shipping for the 3 polishes, and if you want to add Ribbits Stickits goodies – then the price goes up depending on what is added. But the baseline is $33 for the 3 polishes shown.
Want only the Ribbits Stickits addons? That’s perfectly fine – you can buy those alone as well.
Once the 40 RTS boxes are gone – they essentially go into preorder. The preordered boxes will ship between 2-4 weeks after the shop closes. They do aim for sooner but as we all know – USPS has a mind of its own and it’s just not always possible.
All polishes within the box are exclusive to the box. I believe the Ribbits Stickits items are as well.
Let’s jump right in and take a look at the July 2022 box!
Bee’s Knees Lacquer | Your Character is as Deficient as Your Horsemanship
Your Character Is As Deficient As Your Horsemanship is a deep jade green (it looks deep teal with all the additions) jelly base with emerald green to blue to purple multichrome flakes, as well as silver holo flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
This does dry down with a very mild texture, but I found one coat of top coat smoothed it out just fine.
Night Owl Lacquer | Some Bizarre Ritual
Some Bizarre Ritual is a slightly warm toned, pale peach crelly base filled with pink to gold to green shifting iridescent flakes and bronze reflective glitter pigment. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Dreamland Lacquer | What If I Want To Fly?
What If I Want To Fly? is a medium mint green crelly base with pink to gold to green flakes and matching shimmer, with a touch of green reflective glitters mixed in. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Ribbits Stickits | Frogetaboutit Acetone Additive
Frogetaboutit Acetone Additive is a small vial of liquid that you shake up and pour into your acetone to lessen the harsh effects. It takes away that ashy look acetone can leave behind on your skin, plus gives a burst of scent to sort of cover up the smell of acetone.
If you are new to Acetone Additive, I suggest you shake the vial, pour in half, test the acetone and then pour in more as you see fit. Depending on your skin type and what type of remover you use, the amount of additive needed with vary. If you tend to have oily skin – too much will make you oily, too little and it won’t seem like you used any. It’s a balancing act so add a little, test and add more as needed.
The July scent is ‘I Burn For You’ and the scent profile is bergamot, lime, earl grey tea leaves, cucumber, beeswax, and amber.
To my nose, I pick up the earl grey tea leaves, lime and a touch of amber. It’s comforting but vibrant.
This is an add on item and will be $4.50
Ribbits Stickits | Water Slide Decals
For July, Ribbits Stickits created 2 sheets of water slide decals that cover the first 2 seasons of Bridgerton. I went more for “Season One” nails.
One sheet of decals is more images of the personalities in the, while the other is more quotes.
These are like temporary tattoos for your nails. I usually cut the image I want off the sheet, set in water for 10-15 seconds, then remove the image from water and place face down on a stamping head. Then I slide the paper backing off leaving just the image on the stamper. Then I stamp the image down onto my nail firmly, lift stamper and then top coat.
There are other ways to do it – this is my preferred method.
Decals are an add on for $10.00
Fandom Flakies Box July 2022 | Bridgerton
I have watched both seasons and binged both as they came out. This is a fun set to represent the show, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t waiting on season 3.
I was sent the Hand & Cuticle Cream as well, but the small heat wave we got seamed to unsticky the swatch packet in the mail… and it went missing before it got to me. Luckily that seemed to be the only thing that got away.
Price: $33.00 + Shipping (Polish Only) | $43.00 + Shipping (Polishes + Waterslide Decals) | Hand & Cuticle Cream: $7.00 | Acetone Additive: $4.50 | Waterslide Decals: $10.00
