Bee's Knees Lacquer - Unicorn Pee Siblings


Good morning!! I'm getting close to finishing up with sharing the new goodies coming from Bee's Knees Lacquer, so enjoy these 3 for now!
*Polishes provided as press samples for review*


This trio will be first available at The Indie Shop Seattle 7/22 - but do not fear, general release is not far off and will take place 8/1.

What are the "UP Siblings"? Well, "UP" is still very much a popular nail polish type, the mythical "unicorn pee" - the pigment showing red/gold/green color shifts. As far as I understand it, the sibling pigments are the same caliber but shift to different colors - 2 of these polishes have a green to blue shift and one has an indigo to blue. It can be a little technical for "it's just nail polish", but the collectors know their terminology and what they seek!

Unicorns Are Out - an indigo jelly with green to blue sibling unicorn pee pigment and iridescent flakes that flash a rainbow of colors. This is a real jelly! At first coat I was wondering if I will need 4 of them to be opaque, but nope, the flakies really do a lot to help build coverage. I applied 2 coats at first and wore it that way, it was sufficient but I wanted a deeper color to for these swatches I have 3 coats on. Just a note - if your free edge is really white and you apply this sheer, it will look darker at the tips - kind of like a built in French tip!

Banshees Are In -a black based jelly with green to blue sibling unicorn pee and peach to lime green magnetic multichrome microflakes. I applied 2 coats and magnetized the second with an arc magnet. I loved the peachy/gold/green shimmer in this one but's it's so much more complex on the nail! Just get it and you'll find out ;)

Cursebreaker - an indigo to blue UP sibling topcoat with magnetic multichrome microflakes that shift green/blue/purple/gold at the extremes. Looks awesome over Void (which will be kept available through August). I do have this applied over Void, the black one coat cream, and magnetized.

I hear there may actually be more polishes with this pigment in the works, so keep an eye on the brand's pages to catch it :)
