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/

xoxoJen's swatch of Bee's Knees: Throne of Glass series

-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!

I'm loving the soft, rich shades in this box! Each of them have really good formulas, apply smoothly and are shown in two coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Frozen Mountain Dawn
a warm beige crelly with pink shimmer, and scattered glitter in pink, gray, navy blue.

I love a good crelly and what could be better than a warm shade with pops of color sprinkled in?

Turtle Tootsie Polishes Blustery Day
a silver thermal polish, that has a subtle shift from a peach to gray, with gold holo flakies and golden shimmer.
I love the glints of shimmer from the gold flecks! Shown both thermal and not - the warm is peachy.

Lollipop Posse: Seasonal Garbage and Black Friday Single Pours

Join Lollipop Posse Lacquer as they bring you a small taste of those little things that just don’t go according to plan during the holidays. What would the season be without a little bit of snark and chaos?

I've worn two coats of each with topcoat unless otherwise stated. The formula on all of these was fantastic and I'm just gonna warn ya'll now... I liked every single one of these quite a bit! The shimmers in them are insanely beautiful. Just when I think Karen's game is at its peak she goes and ups it. Ok, you've been warned. :)

Release Date and Time: Thursday, November 22nd, 9pm Central.

Seasonal Garbage: Holiday 2018

Eleven Cookies in the VCR is a strawberry-bubblegum pink crelly loaded with red to green shifting Aurora pigment and holo flakes.
“I’m sorry I ruined your lives, and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR.” -Buddy the Elf, “Elf”

The bottle shot shows the green shift really well, this does translate to the nail but my bottle shot illustrates it much better than I could with my nail shots. I tend to be a little iffy about pinks, but this one is bright and pretty and the shifting shimmer sells it to me.

Full-Blown, Four-Alarm Holiday Emergency is a grape crelly packed full with red/pink/gold shifting Aurora pigment and holo flakes.
“Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here.” -Clark Griswold, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”

The perfect purple with super vibrant contrasting shimmer and holo all bottled up just for us! When I first put this on I was wowed by it.

Seasonal Garbage is a blue-leaning teal crelly base packed full of purple/copper/green shifting Aurora shimmer and holo flakes.
“You’re not fooling anybody because you wear a velvet tie and tuck in your shirt. You’re still a piece of garbage. Now you’re just seasonal garbage.” -The Worst Things About Office Holiday Parties: Whine About It

Another done in the same vein as the others above and I love it just as much, cause teal.

Welcome to the Party, Pal is an electric, ultramarine blue crelly base filled with cyan/indigo shifting Aurora shimmer and holo flakes.
“Welcome to the party, pal!” -John McClane, “Die Hard”

And the last sister, only a super vibrant blue this time. Yes, I love this one too!

As in Olden Days is a darkened blue to purple shifting multichrome, accented with silver holographic flakies, bronze microflakes, and scattered holographic pigment.

This has a vibrant teal shift that isn't mentioned above and I managed to capture it to share with ya'll. Very pretty and vampy.

Whiskers on Kittens is a rose-gold base filled with gold flakes, bronze microflakes, pink holographic shreds, and holographic accents. Topcoat required for a smooth finish.

The flakes make for a metallic finish and the rosegold shade is soft, together they're edgy yet girly.
