Happy Saturday! I actually got a ton done in the last few days and I’ve been cropping photos away and now it’s time to do all the typing. Anyways – today we’re going to be looking at the Fandom Flakies Box for February 2022 and the theme is RuPaul’s Drag Race!

For the Fandom Flakies Box for February 2022 we have Leesha’s Lacquers joining us! I have reviewed for Leesha’s Lacquers on and off for about 3-4 years now I think – so you’ve seen her on my blog before. Mostly in PPU posts, but also some collections.

I have noticed that the Fandom Flakies Box Fan Group on Facebook is gaining some new faces – so I’m going to explain the box a little more. I think I backed off since most seemed to know the drill, but based on some questions – there are enough new faces to rehash it all.

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 it’s 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.

Leesha’s Lacquer is the February 2022 guest maker – and they picked a theme of RuPaul’s Drag Race for the month!

Let’s jump on in. I’m actually early this month (I know… who is this.. right?) so these don’t go on sale until this coming Friday, February 11th.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer | I’m Getting Nervous (Reflective Glitter)

This polish officially wins for hardest to photograph. It’s so blingy and is so busy that my camera didn’t know where to focus… but it was so worth it.

I’m Getting Nervous has a rainbow of holo flakes packed in as well as silver reflective glitters. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. I only needed 1 coat of top coat for a smooth finish – but if you use thicker coats of polish or a thinner top coat – you may need an additional coat of top coat to smooth.

Night Owl Lacquer | By The Power Vested In Me… By Me

By The Power Vested In Me… By Me is a striking cobalt blue crelly base with red to gold to green and purple to magneta to red to gold crystal chameleon flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

I did not experience staining with this shade – some blues like this tint my nails, but this one did not.

Leesha’s Lacquers | She Already Done Had Herses

She Already Done Had Herses is a sheer purple jelly base with green to pink to gold chrome and crystal flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

If you have a strong visible nail line then it will show through with this polish.

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.

For February the scent is All Tea No Shade, which is a blend of Earl Grey tea leaves, black teas, chamomile, shaved ginger root, dried pears, crisp apples, cinnamon sticks, nutmegs, cloves, anise, vanilla, cognac and geranium.

The notes that come out most for me is cinnamon, geranium and pear. It’s a unique scent and I keep sniffing it because the scent alters a bit each time. I actually wouldn’t mind having this scent as a body mist.

This is an add on item and will be $4.50

Ribbits Stickits | Un-frog-gettable Hand and Cuticle Cream

This hand and cuticle cream is thick enough so it can be used every day in small amounts, or slather it on at night for a more intensive treatment.

For February the scent is All Tea No Shade, which is a blend of Earl Grey tea leaves, black teas, chamomile, shaved ginger root, dried pears, crisp apples, cinnamon sticks, nutmegs, cloves, anise, vanilla, cognac and geranium.

The notes that come out most for me is cinnamon, geranium and pear. It’s a unique scent and I keep sniffing it because the scent alters a bit each time. I actually wouldn’t mind having this scent as a body mist.

This is an add on item for $7.00 (it is 2 ounces)

Ribbits Stickits | Water Slide Decals

Next up we have themed water slide nail decals! They 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.

There are 2 sheets of water slide decals this month.

Decals are an add on for $10.00

Fandom Flakies Box February 2022 | RuPaul’s Drag Race

The pricing for the box changed last month – and there is a subscription option if you want to automatically receive these boxes. There are 2 different subscription box offerings: $33.00 for the 3 polishes only, or $43.00 for the 3 polishes plus $10 in additional Ribbits Stickits items. This month’s Ribbit Stickits extras will be the waterslides for the sub box.

Of course you can still purchase without a sub if you prefer.
