It's a Mystery! Bee's Knees Lacquer - Ships 2.0

  It's a Mystery! Bee's Knees Lacquer - Ships 2.0

Hello and welcome! I'm compiling another post with mystery polish swatches for your viewing please!

*Polishes were provided as press samples and a few I purchased myself*

During Buzzmas there were a ton of mystery polishes available from Bee's Knees Lacquer - I bet between the ACOTAR 2.0 and Ships 2.0 that's definitely 2 full collections worth of new polishes! I didn't get any of the ACOTAR ones in my swatch pack and snoozed on buying a mystery pack on the day of the sale, but I do have Ships 2.0 to share! Once again,  Bea (IG: artofpolish) let me add her set of swatches to fill out what I'm missing. Together, we've got quite a lot of them checked off, but there's still a few we're missing - I'll have a list at the end of the blog of all the known ones. I'll update the post once I have official descriptions!  1/3/22 - updated descriptions 

Romajuliette (Roma & Juliette - Violent Delights) - this is a warm red with gold to green shimmer

Kanej (Inej & Kaz - Grishaverse) - this is a midnight blue with pink to green flakes and holo flakes

Lou x Reid (from Serpent and Dove) - this is a glowy blue with lots of holo flakes

Swatches show 3 coats + top coat

Elucian (Lucian & Elaine - ACOTAR) - this is a large particle pink pastel multichrome that shifts from gold to green to blue

Swatches show 3 coats + top coat; I'm gonna go ahead and say that I suspect this one to stain, so watch out for it!  

I decided to see what this one would look like with undies so I got a couple comp pics. I generally upload these types of comps into the BKL group album, but since the polish is a mystery, I'll keeping the pics here for now.

I used BKL's Pinky in 1 coat, and topped with 2 coats of Elucian on my middle finger, for the ring, it's Tonic's I'm So Pretty in 1 coat + 2 of Elucian, all topped with a glossy top coat. I try not to mix brands in my swatches, especially when it's PR, but sometimes I play around with layering like this just for my own curiosity. There are so many undies and VNL blurring base options lately! 

Gwynriel (Gwyn & Azriel - ACOTAR) - this is a large particle periwinkle pastel multichrome that shifts from gold to green to blue

Swatches show 3 coats + top coat

Helnik (Matthias & Nina - Grishaverse) - this is a blue large particle pastel multichrome that shifts from red to purple

Swatches show 3 coats + top coat

Manorian (Dorian & Manon - TOG) - this is a red large particle pastel multichrome that shifts from aqua to purple

Swatches show 3 coats + top coat

Mia x Ash (from Nevernight) - this is an uncolored base with black to red multichrome flakes and microflakes

Swatches show 3 coats + top coat

And over black undies (Void)

Quinalar (Bryce & Hunt - Crescent City) - this is a large particle orange pastel multichrome that shifts red to orange to green

Swatches show 3 coats + top coat

I also layered this one in 2 coats over Pinky (because I love this ship <3) 

The Iron Triangle (Zetian, Yizhi & Shimin - Iron Widow) - this is a deep violet with green to pink iridescent flakes

Swatches show 3 coats + top coat

Wesper (Wylan & Jesper - Grishaverse) - this is a soft aqua with pink to green shimmer

Quinalar	Manorian
Fury x Juniper	Kanej

I hope you've enjoyed the unveiling of the mysteries! I know many pics have been passed around in DMs and nested in spoiler posts, it's been fun watching everyone's excitement over the Buzzmas goodies! Here's the link the the BKL Respawn request if you need it!
