The Polished KOI: It's a Mystery! Bee's Knees Lacquer

It's a Mystery! Bee's Knees Lacquer - Six Crimson Cranes

Hello, hello! I hope it's mystery spoilers you're here for, because that's what this post will have! If you want to keep the surprise, please turn away! Otherwise, let's dive into the possibilities, shall we? Oh! Did I mention that this is a very special post? No? Welllll....you're in for a treat! I have quite a few fellow swatchers that allowed me to use their pics to cover the mysteries! As a result, it's a mile long, but so amazing! I hope you enjoy!

*Polishes were provided as press samples for review, with compensation for photos*

First off, let's get the details out of the way: these mysteries are releasing July 29th, 7pm EDT. The mystery bags are capped - 450! They're limited to 1 per customer and will contain 2 polishes, costing $26. Once these go up for individual sale (in August) they'll be $14 each. The flavor this time is ghost flakes + light reflective glitter. Ghost flakes? Yup! Ghost flakes are great! Sarah anticipated questions about this special ingredient so included a little blurb in our swatcher emails: Ghost flakes are the largest particle size of UP (unicorn pee!). They aren't quite as sparkly because they're denser and more flake-like, but they have the same hard color shift. Lastly, these polishes have half the amount of light reflective glitter we have been using so it adds some depth without taking away from the ghost flakes
