Bee's Knees Lacquer - American Horror Story
Bee's Knees Lacquer has another collection coming - inspired by the American Horror Story TV show. This will debut at The Indie Shop in San Antonio 10/13 and launching on their website in November. It's a 5 piece with one polish having an undie base, so let's get to viewing!
*Polishes provided as press sample for review*
Let's start with something we've seen in recent collections and then move on to the other shades, please use the arrows to go through all the pictures in the slides to view more swatches.
Mutants and Ash - a grungy gray-green with
OG UP ($18);and the undies will be free at the show; for the swatches I used 2 coats of undies (shown solo at the end of the slide) and one coat of UP topper + topcoat; easy peasy application, color is right up there in the "prugly" category, as some call it ;)
The Grays - a dove gray with
OG UP and the larger particle
OG UP flakes that also shift red to green ($18);and no undies needed; 2 coats for swatches + top coats; the shimmer kind of warms up this color on me, I suspect it may look cooler on other skin tones..my only wish is for more flakieeeeessss lol, unicorn pee is all great, but anytime a polish has those red to green flakes, I'm totally captivated!
The Purples - a dark smoky purple with
OG UP and the larger particle
OG UP flakes that also shift red to green ($18);and no undies needed; again, 2 coats + top coat for the swatches, I feel like the flakes stood out a lot more in this color base!
When Witches Don't Fight - a mid-toned grape purple filled with Aurora shimmer that shifts gold to orange to red and even a hint of green ($10 at the show and $13 on the site); I used 3 thin coats for this as it's more of a jelly base polish, though there is plenty of shimmer packed in here so on shorter nails you may be OK with 2 coats. #sorrynotsorry for the photo spam, I absolutely love the blue shimmer that showed up! I told Sarah how much I liked this polish and she said it's a bit of a nod to their ever-popular
House on Haunted Chill polish, and the last polish in this collection,
We Burn, has that same vibe
We Burn-a mid-toned blue polish also filled with Aurora shimmer that shifts from bright red to orange to gold and even a hint of green ($10 at the show and $13 on the site); 3 thin coats + top coat for the swatches, another one with a jelly base; I totally squealed when I pulled this out of the package - I love blues, and the shimmers in this just make it extra awesome!
If you're not attending The Indie Shop, then you've got some time until November to decide which of these are coming home to you - and if you haven't seen the Antago-Nudists collection, or need a refresher,
blog post is here - these two collections will both launch Nov 1!
This is a smaller collection but hopefully you guys will appreciate it, Sarah has been making a LOT of gorgeous colors in recent months and it can be hard to catch them all!
