Bee's Knees: Throne of Glass series
Bringing you three flakie polishes today, of which I was unfamiliar with their names so I did a bit of research. These are derived from the Throne of Glass series written by Sarah J. Maas.
These launched today and are available right now at https://beeskneeslacquer.com/
-Manon Blackbeak-a deep red with ghost flakes, the larger flakes that shift red to gold to green, similar to UP.
Such a squishy, deep, dark, true red. In person, it was actually slightly darker than the photos show. It looks like candy - and those flakes!
Two coats/topcoat.
-Abraxos-inspired by Manon's wyvern Titus, this is a charcoal polish with ghost flakes, the larger flakes that shift red to gold to green, similar to UP.
I love me a grey crelly with flash! The flakes in this are subtle until the light hits them, then blam! There they are.
Two coats/topcoat.
-The Thirteen-a blackened blue loaded with UP and ghost flakes, the larger flakes that shift red to gold to green, similar to UP.
Woo! What a vampy UP polish! It is definitely teal. Shown in two coats really darkens it. This would be a bit lighter if layered over a lighter shade of teal. Quite versatile, and look at the green flash!
The formula for each of these was good - smooth and easy to apply. I especially enjoyed Abraxos from this set!

The container this was in would not open so I contacted Katia for help. Nothing worked. The container was opened by hammer, thus no images of it. Katia is going to a different and easier to open container for actual customer orders.

a darkened indigo base with a scattering of micro holo flakes and red/orange/green shifting iridescent flakes inspired by The Craft.

It's all about that base! The base shade of this polish is a mover and a shaker! Under one lamp it appears almost denim, pull my hand away from it slightly and it's straight up grey, in my photography studio it reads more purple, as the descriptions states. Ya'll are gonna love the way this polish looks new under every light!
Lollipop Posse Lacquer This Sudden, Curious Act of Extortion
a nude-leaning white jelly filled with green shifting shimmer, holo micro flakes, aqua/green/purple shifting iridescent flakes, and copper/gold/green shifting iridescent flakes inspired by the Magicians.

Shleee Polish But You're, Like.... Evil
Inspired by Gwen Stacy
black with pink iridescent flakies, and silver holographic glitter.
60 bottle cap
My very first Shleee and I'm quite impressed with it. These images don't do it justice. The sparkle and shimmer is insane - very much like those blinged up IG videos only not a fake video effect. It's real ya'll.
Turtle Tootsie Polish Sir Paul
a green/purple/aqua tri thermal holo polish with gold holo micro glitter, gold flakies, and some purple chameleon flakies inspired by the Beatles.
80 bottle cap
My three favorite colors in one bottle? Yes please. That green, turns grey before purple so I actually think this is a quad thermal. Is that a thing?
Under A Hula Moon Somebody To Love
Love is rarely all bliss and flowers, sometimes there's farts between the flowers. Monkey farts that is! A fruity and floral blend of Kahuku bananas, vibrant kiwi, wild strawberries, hints of bubble gum and vanilla all mixed with tropical plumeria.
No cap.
Each order containing this product will receive a gift with purchase
A very strong plumeria scent with hints of fruit. Fill your home with the fragrance of Hawaii! This melt takes me back to the islands.
Every polish is shown in two coats unless otherwise specified in their descriptions. The formulas on all of these are fantastic! I believe that indies have all nailed the formulas and surpassed mainstream polishes. I almost feel like formula isn't worth mentioning unless there's an issue with it. So rather than repeat it above every single polish, here is one comment that applies to all of them. If you need a more specific detail, feel free to comment below and I will answer any questions you may have.
The variety of colors and finishes is on point for such a large collection of polishes and we've got several new brands who just joined HHC this month! Great way to try some new to you brands and pick up some of your favorites.
