Bee's Knees Lacquer (BKL): You're Not Unloveable

You're Not Unloveable is shown in three coats with topcoat. Another polish from an order a while back and it's gorgeous! I love the larger particle shimmer in this! And I don't mind the nail line at all. The shimmer reflects enough that it's not really that noticeable in normal conditions, my glam lighting enhances it tho.

Bee's Knees Lacquer (BKL): A Ghost is a Wish

A Ghost is a Wish is a very pretty feminine polish with a sort of hidden secret - the purple shimmer! It is other-worldly. I wore it in three coats with topcoat and the photo was taken after almost a week of wear.

The formulas of each of these was very easy to work with, no clumping or dragging just smooth easy application. What do you think of this month's box?

Bluebird Lacquer's Cat Ass Trophy was inspired by the loveable sarcastic chonk, Salem! It’s a black jelly with a deep blue flakie shimmer and a smattering of multicolored flakies.

I like the way the vibrant flakes pop against the dark base!

BKL's Judge Witch-inspired by the episode with RuPaul where Sabrina must choose which Aunt to live with, this is a glowy purple with extra purple shimmer and a rainbow of iridescent flakes.

It's like blackberry juice with shimmer and flake! Loving this shade!

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!

-Tahoe Tessie is Terrifying-an aqua polish with OG UP and ghost flakes, the larger flakes that shift the same color as OG UP

I love a nice clean looking aqua shade, and this one has a squishyness to it, don't ya think?

-Mothman is Lit-a black based polish with red to green Aurora shimmer and iridescent flakes that shift from orange to red to purple.

So mysterious and vampy!

Most vibrant orange jelly! This could totally be used in a pond mani, or as a topper over your favorite cream in the same color family. Join the BKL fan group and see how those look!
Shown in three coats with topcoat.
