Bee's Knees Lacquer: Polish Con Fall 2018

Bee's Knees Lacquer: Polish Con Fall 2018

Bee's Knees Lacquer - Polish Con 2018
Welcome to another post! I hope you're excited to see these swatches - they're beautiful polishes named after Minnesota urban legends! Bee's Knees Lacquer will be attending Polish Con there this weekend and these pretties are the limited edition & VIP polishes!
*Polishes provided as press samples for review*


Let's start off with the VIP polish:
Squatchin Around-a deep raspberry base with a green to silver to purple to blue multichrome shimmer and holo flakes; I used 2 coats for my swatches & top coat - please click through the arrows to see all the pictures. This one wasn't specifically marked as magnetic but I took a magnet to the bottle and there was a little bit of a magnetic effect going on, so it's like a bonus! This polish is in that "sleeper creeper" category - it has a lot of sides and keeps showing you something new!

Pepie-a turquoise jelly with green to blue to purple iridescent flakes and green to blue unicorn pee (UP) sibling pigment. $15; 3 thin coats and top coat for the swatches - 2 thicker coats should work as well, I ended up applying mine thinner than usual and could still see a bit of VNL so I went for that third coat - it really adds depth to the shimmer anyway, and is such a beautiful color! The iridescent flakes are an excellent addition in this <3

Wendigo-a chocolate brown based polish with a blue to purple duo chrome shimmer as well as a gold to green shimmer- $10; the shimmer in this made me think of trying a magnet and surprise, it cam be magnetized! I ended up applying 3 thin coats, the shimmer really lightens the polish and makes it into a caramel color, which becomes more prominent if the shimmer is pulled together with a magnet

The Soap Factory-a sparkly, almost ethereal pink with gold to orange to red iridescent flakes and in complete contrast to the ghostly spirit that is supposed to haunt this place. $10; I used 2 coats and top coat for the swatches and had my suspicion confirmed - I totally love it!! I've got a couple holographic polishes from Bee's Knees now and they're among my favorites!
