| PRESS SAMPLES sent in exchange for my honest review |
Bee's Knees June release continues their cryptids theme with pastel multichromes. These are the perfect mix between a shimmer and a foil. They will go up at noon on 6/1 along with new Godzilla themed mystery bags. 3 polishes per bag with a total of 18 new mystery polishes in the pool. $25 each.
- Available June 1, 2019 at 12pm edt.
- $13 each
- I've shown them all with glossy and satin topcoats, in natural light, sunlight, and t5 full spectrum lights.
- Besides some differences in opacity these all have the same formula. Good viscosity, no flooding or pulling,stays where you put it. removes easily like a creme. The shimmer is very fine and can be difficult to completely remove from skin.
AHOOL
Ahool-a gold to green to blue pastel multichrome with purple at the extremes.
I used 3 coats plus topcoat. The purple shift is subtle but can be seen in the bottle and my satin topcoated photo. The Ahool is a giant bat or flying primate creature believed to be found in Java and Indonesia.

BUNYIP
Bunyip-a pale pink to lime green to gold pastel multichrome with bright blue at the extremes.
3 coats with topcoats, slight visible nail line at some angles. I think this is the most interesting cryptid because it's so obscure. Of Australian Aboriginal origins, it has been described as a water spirit resembling something like an enormous starfish. 19th Century sightings describe it as having a dog-like face, crocodile-like head, dark fur, horse-like tail, flippers, walrus-like tusks, or a duck-like bill.

I love all of these polishes but I think Bunyip is my favorite as it has the most interesting stories and unique shift.
