I know I already said it, but this year is just zooming by. We’re back for the Fandom Flakies Box for August 2024 and the theme is Beetlejuice.
Recently there were some changes to the box. There is no longer a guest maker. Every box will have only Night Owl Lacquer and Bee’s Knees Lacquer, and Ribbits Stickits bringing in the themed extras. The box will be smaller – and the price will reflect that change.
To see everything applied and demonstrated, check out my YouTube below:
If you are newer here, let’s go over the Fandom Flakies basics! 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. Each month 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. 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.
Okay – let’s jump in!
Bee’s Knees Lacquer | Ghost with the Most
Ghost With The Most is a vibrant green crelly base with matte black flakes, silver flakes, and orange to green multichrome flakes. I used 3 thin coats, glitter smoother and glossy top coat for these photos.
Night Owl Lacquer | I Myself Am Strange & Unusual
I Myself Am Strange & Unusual is a deep burgundy jelly base filled with multichrome flakes that shift green to blue to purple to magenta. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Ribbits Stickits | Waterslide Decals
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 2 sheets of decals this month.
Base color used under decals is Bee’s Knees Lacquer Poison Mist
Bee’s Knees Lacquer | 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 1/4, 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.
August Scent: Shake, Shake, Shake Señora is a blend of pink hibiscus, exotic dragonfruit, and lychee, blend with bright notes of key lime, pineapple slices, and sugared mango with fresh coconut water and warm amber
