Hey friends! Today I have 3 Facebook group customs from Bee’s Knees Lacquer to share. This is the first of two BKL blog posts coming over the next couple of days. The polishes featured in both posts are inspired by the show What We Do In The Shadows.
In order to purchase these polishes you will need to be a member of the Facebook groups and as always, I will have everything linked down below.

I’m a Hamster In A Wheel
Facebook Group: Shades Of Cyan
Inspiration: Guillermo from What We Do In The Shadows
Description: an indigo polish with multichrome shimmer that shifts from emerald to cyan to purple and holo flakes
Price: $13.50
I’m a Hamster In A Wheel had a fantastic formula. The base starts off a little bit sheer but builds up for full opacity. The multichrome shimmer in here was very strong and was as described.
The base color paired with the multichrome shimmer was absolutely STUNNING. The flakies were also beautiful but I really loved the multichrome. This is a smooth shimmer so you don’t see any brush strokes in person.
My photos show I’m A Hamster In A Wheel in 3 coats plus glossy top coat. Removal won’t be overly difficult and I didn’t experience any staining.
He’s Relentless in Love
Inspiration: Nandor the Relentless
Description: a large particle multichrome that shifts from wine red to copper to gold to green
Price: $13
Facebook Group: Multichrome Madness
He’s Relentless in Love had a fantastic formula. The base starts off a little sheer but it builds up really nicely. In person, I was seeing a reddish copper, bronze to gold color shift. I wasn’t really seeing much green in this multichrome.
I’m not sure what happened during this swatch but I had some wrinkling that I didn’t notice until I was editing my photos. I *think* I just applied the first coat too soon and my base coat wasn’t completely dry?
This polish is going to be a 2-3 coater depending on your nail length and personal preference. If VNL bugs you, you will likely want to go in for 3 coats.
My photos show He’s Relentless In Love in 3 coats plus glossy top coat. Nothing in here will be difficult to remove.
Marwa Deserved Better
Inspiration: Marwa, Nandor’s wife, from What We Do In The Shadows
Description: a large particle multichrome that shifts from wine red to copper to gold to green with two different shades of blue light reflective glitter
Price: $13.50 for 15ml
Facebook Group: Multichrome Madness
Marwa Deserved Better had a good formula. It was on the thicker side but I didn’t have any problems with application. If you have tried this brand’s reflective glitter polishes before, you know they tend to run on the thicker side especially when they are full coverage.
The reflective glitters all spread out very evenly and easily but they do give off quite a bit of texture. I did opt to pair this one with a glitter smoothing top coat before my quick dry top coat.
I was able to see the blue reflects in the glitter out in natural sunlight without using flash. And just wow, I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this one out in the sun!
My photos show Marwa Deserved Better in 2 coats plus 2 coats of top coat.
