Bee's Knees Lacquer - AHS 7 Wonders; November 2019
Welcome to November!! We're in the final stretch of finishing the year, and Bee's Knees Lacquer continues to bring out awesome polishes for us! November's release is already live, but here's my post on it in case anyone hasn't made their purchases or needs to reference the polishes.
*Polishes provided as press samples for review*
This is a 7 piece collection that's inspired by American Horror Story (AHS) and the 7 wonders. If you aren't familiar with the show, like me, then we can just admire the polishes and know they're based on powers/abilities.
I should start off saying that I used 3 coats + top coat for all of the swatches. These polishes all have unicorn pee pigment (UP), which is best observed in a jelly base, so get ready for seeing a lot of VNL! Of course, undies can be worn to conserve the polish and get more mileage, as well as provide fun color combinations! Let's get into these!
Telekinesis - a muted olive green with gold to green sibling UP; $14
Sarah has really converted me into liking greens - this one glows with a warm gold shimmer but also has that flash of green in there pretty prominently. I can't help but think of BKLs in my collection and Bathsheba would be my undie choice for this.
Concilium - a rich, royal purple with green to blue sibling UP; $14
Can never go wrong with a purple! The VNL wasn't as visible with this color and I absolutely love the blue glow in here, it's almost surreal!
Pyrokinesis - a bright, fiery red with gold to green sibling UP; $14
On the first coat this had a pink tone for me! But by the third coat this was definitely fiery red, almost orange leaning - I'm guessing because of the gold shimmer here. The opacity was also good, hardly any VNL.
Divination - an ocean blue with green to blue sibling UP; $14
Blues always have my heart, and the same glowy blue pigment is hiding here, how could I not love it?? Finding a suitable undie shouldn't be a problem either, any blue shade will do nicely!
Transmutation - a muted smoky lilac with OG UP; $14
Transmutation reminds of that one polish Sarah hasn't released yet, ahem, Queen of Mourning, that was at a couple of events over the summer. So if you're a fan of this color family, or just neutrals, you've got one more to look forward to! This was on the creamier side so coverage was also good at 3 coats, no VNL and the UP warms it up with the reg/gold glow.
Vitalum Vitalis - a muted burgundy with OG UP; $14
I'd call this more of a rusty red, but would love to layer it over a burgundy cream and see what it becomes! I feel like the OG UP here really complements the base color and the end result is super glowy!
Descensum - a muted army green with OG UP; $14
Initially I wanted to say that this color is for all the prugly lovers - but that's not entirely true...I can see this in the mustard/yellows family too. A nice warm glow from the OG UP and still gets the flash of green mixed in as well.
Some nice ones here, loving the shimmers :-D
