Happy Thursday! I have a few items from the upcoming Smidgen Of Us box to share for February 2025. The theme this month is Fairy Tale!
I got several purple tones for this month and as they came in, I was like “hmm” and then Garden Path Lacquer apparently wasn’t in on the huddle for the color scheme.
Smidgen of Us Box is a monthly collab box that runs towards the end of the month, with February’s shop running from February 23rd at 11am Eastern through February 28th at 11pm Eastern. Each month is a different theme and February’s theme is Fairy Tale, so each item is based off this theme. Some inspo is direct, while others are loosely inspired.
Since it is an indie collaboration shop – orders will take 3-4 weeks to ship after box closes to allow makers time to fulfill their sold amount and ship to the SoU Headquarters.
For the fine details – for all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base (purchased by me, but I swatch/admin for the brand), and for the glossy photos I did use a combination of the top coats including Glisten & Glow Top Coat and Vibrant Vinyls which was sent as PR.
Let’s jump in and take a look.
