 Bee's Knees 1/1/19 release and sitewide SALE
PRESS SAMPLES

New bottles! Look how beautiful the new gold logo is and how well the new shape shows off the polish. The labels also have cute illustrations so I thought I'd share them. The brush is rounded and fan shaped. 1-3 easy strokes covers my whole nails and minimal cleanup is required. I didn't struggle with the old brushes but these are dreamy, what you reach for when you don't really feel like painting but want pretty nails anyway.


  •  WHEN? January 1, 2019 12 pm EST 


  •  WHAT? 4 new polishes, Ulti-matte matte topcoat $8, (not shown, Hail Satin, satin topcoat was sent by mistake, it will release on 1/11) mystery bags with 3 new mystery colors and an epic SALE! Everything will be marked down at least 40%. New release not included.  Mystery bags will include 2 never before seen colors each and one old one for $25. Orders WONT be combined during the sale and supplies are limited. Sale ends 1/6 11:59 pm EST. The satin topcoat's name cracks me up because my mom's horse as a girl was named Satin but she made the sign that hung above the stall herself and she spelled it Satan. It's still on the barn. 
  • WHY? New year, new products, room must be made! These new bottles are meant to be a permanent change, all new polishes will come in them. Older ones may come in the remaining square bottles.

 TAHOE TESSIE IS TERRIFYING

Tahoe Tessie is Terrifying-an aqua polish with OG UP and ghost flakes, the larger flakes that shift the same color as OG UP, (red/gold/green). This is absolutely stunning and my favorite color family as well as my most loved finish, iridescent flakies and colorshifting shimmer. This polish is NOT a bright blue, it's a true aqua like tropical waters.
  • $18
  • I used 3 coats and still had very slight visible nail line in bright light. My line line is obstinate.  
  • Flakies lay down easily, polish doesn't drag, good dry time.
  • Shown with glossy, matte and satin topcoats.
  • These flakies do like to stick to skin and nails, some scrubbing was required for removal and cleanup.

JERSEY DEVIL IS TOTES MA GOATS

Jersey Devil Totes Ma Goats-a grape based polish with indigo sibling UP and iridescent flakes that shift pink to orange and green to purple.

  • This was not as opaque as I expected but covered fully in 3 coats, ironic because Monarch was more opaque than I thought!
  • Shown with glossy, satin, and matte topcoat.
  • Good viscosity, dry time, flakies lay down easily, no dragging. No problems with removal or cleanup.
  • $15

MOTHMAN IS LIT

Mothman is Lit-a black based polish with red to green Aurora shimmer and iridescent flakes that shift from orange to red to purple. The shimmer gives this an overall very dark green, antique gold look. This urban legend is from my state so that's fun! Point Pleasant is about an hour from me and I've seen the statue and all, fun times! This is a good representation I think and the name equally amusing as the original eye witnesses were very likely "lit".

  • Two coats with topcoats except middle nail, that's ONE coat. This could easily be a one coater I just wanted some more depth for this swatch.
  • Shown with glossy, matte, and satin topcoats.
  • Great formula, stays where you put it, no running,pooling,pulling, flakies lay down with no effort. Simple removal.
  • $13

MONARCH WING

Monarch Wing-a bright orange polish with green to blue sibling UP.  Personally I find the blue shimmer indigo that sometimes looks silver. Camera shy. When Sarah says orange she means it!! This is eye searing, think shimmery traffic cone and I'm actually in LOVE. It's so summery and I hate winter y'all. I am not an orange nails person for some unknown reason. I don't understand because I adore orange makeup and I like it on other people. This one is different somehow. I expected to be very sheer and a dupe for Tonic Del-ishious. It is not, much more orange and opaque although the shimmer may be the same. You could use this as a layering polish if you like but it's almost opaque on it's own and that's saying something for a jelly on my nails.

  • 3 coats, very slight remaining nail line in bright light.
  • Shown with glossy, matte, and satin topcoats.
  • Smooth application, not streaky, good viscosity and dry time. Easy removal.
  • $15
