Hey loves! Today I have the October Fandom Flakies Box to share with you. This box consist of three polishes. The polishes are made by Bee's Knees Lacquer, Night Owl Lacquer and a guest maker each month. The guest maker this month is Baroness X and their fandom theme is Dune. Read on for more info, photos and live swatches!

*All photos are taken indoors under 30W Daylight Bulbs with a Canon DSLR Camera.
*I angle my hand in direct lighting as well as low lighting to capture as many of the shifts as I am able.
*All photos shown with a fast dry top coat unless otherwise stated.
*All Magnetic Particles in a polish disperses over time, in my experience 9 times out of 10 I am unable to keep a thin, crisp line to stay put (unless using a gel magnetic polish); my photos are shown with a 20+ minute dry time so the magnetic line may seem more crisp then if I were to have kept the polish on for longer.
Bee's Knees Lacquer-Sandworm
Described as a flakie packed mix of gold, pink, and a touch of holo flakes in a clear base. The flakes are dense enough that they can be layered on their own for full coverage or can be used as a topper in one coat.
Shown here in 3 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. As stated in the description, this is sheer enough to be worn as a topper. Dries with some texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.
Described as a blackened teal jelly with gold/bronze/green crystal chameleon flakes and a sprinkle of gold holographic micro glitters.
Shown here in 2 coats, plus top coat. If you have more of a free edge than I do then you may need 3 coats for full opacity. Formula was good and applied well. As stated in the description, this is sheer enough to be worn as a topper. Dries with some texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.
Described as a gold magnetic in a creamy crelly base with bright blue metallic flakes and blue UP sister shimmer.
Shown here in 3 coats, plus top coat. Formula was sheer but built up well. Dries with subtle texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.
*Please note the red text at the top of the post for info on magnetic polishes.
Instructions:
1. Paint nails, let dry completely.
2. Cut out the desired image.(Try cutting as close as possible to the image)
3. Place in warm water for 5-10 seconds.
4. Using your thumb & index finger slide the paper backing from the image.
5. Lightly dampen the back of the decal.
6. Place image on your nail, pressing down to remove any air bubbles.
7. Seal it with a top coat.
Tip:
If you prefer to use the decal over a colored/darker polish it's best to paint the back of the image with white polish/acrylic paint letting it dry before applying it to the nail. (Which is what I did for this mani)
Used to soften hands and cuticles.
Scent described as a lemon, orange, caramelized sugar, ginger, caramel, tonka bean, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, all spice, and nutmeg. Please note: one of the fragrance oils contains orange, ginger, patchouli, cedarwood and clove essential oils)
