Hi friends! This will be the first of two blog posts for today. Bee’s Knees Lacquer is celebrating their 6th anniversary with a new collection and some mystery bags! I am hoping that if you click on this post you want to be spoiled by what is inside the mystery bags because there will be spoilers in this post!!
These mystery bags are inspired by Resident Evil 4’s Leon Kennedy. They will be available starting on September 15th at 7PM Eastern time along with the Fourth Wing collection. As always, more sale details can be found at the end of the post and my live swatch video shows the polishes in various light sources!

SPOILERS AHEAD!!
I Was Almost A Pancake
Description: a grape purple base with gold to red multichrome shimmer
I Was Almost A Pancake goes on a little bit patchy on that first coat but builds up nicely. If you aren’t super picky, coverage is ok in two coats but I found the bit of patchiness a little meh so I opted to go in for three coats.
I found the base doesn’t feel overly thick or thin and I didn’t have any application issues. While this might have started out as a grape base, the shimmer makes this look more red-toned.
The shade of red reminds me of the red grape dimetapp cough medicine from when I was a kid. I don’t know if that is still even a thing but that’s what the color reminded me of.
My photos show I Was Almost A Pancake in 3 coats plus glossy top coat. Removal will be very easy but messy from the shimmer, I didn’t experience any staining.
My Lucky Day
Description: a deep red base with emerald green to blue to purple to pink multichrome shimmer. *may stain*
My Lucky Day also had a fantastic formula with a very strong shimmer effect. The base color on this one seems more berry toned than a true red but I would wager that is due to the shimmer colors.
Similar to the polishes in the main part of this release, on the first coat it’s a little bit uneven but builds up nicely. In order to get the same color that you see in the bottle, this will likely be a three coater. The shimmer colors as described and doesn’t show brush strokes.
My photos show My Lucky Day in 3 coats plus glossy top coat. I didn’t personally experience any staining with this one but I did double up on my base coat.
