Bee's Knees Lacquer - Crescent City Part 1

Bee's Knees Lacquer - Crescent City Part 1


Hello, hello! Are you ready for bright and pretty spring colors? Because Bee's Knees Lacquer has got a new collection coming 4/24 at noon EDT!

*Polishes provided as press samples for review*

I have big news for those who don't like VNL - as this collection has a handful of polishes that are on the sheer side of coverage, Sarah made two undies, a nude and a pink! I requested the nude to try it out - you won't get super opaque coverage in 1 coat, but it's fun to layer various combinations to see what suits you. The shimmers are pretty good at 3 coats on their own, but this is a little extra step you can take during your application! The other color is pink, aptly named Pinky

Possessed - 2 coats

I thought I'd be real clever and apply a GEL topcoat over possessed, so then I won't have to keep re-applying all the layers for swatching every bottle! Smart, right? But then I used a latex base coat annnnd....that plan didn't lost long lol
So here's what I ended up going with - 2 coats Possessed + 2 coats shimmer polishes, plus a comp using black undies and no undies!

Light it Up -  a pearlescent multichrome that has a yellow base that shifts from yellow to lime to teal at the extremes. Can be a little sheer. $12
