Hella Handmade Creations is a monthly indie polish collaboration. Makers each pick their own theme and make a series of polishes based on that theme. Each month brands have a new polish, that is exclusive to the Hella Handmade Creations website.
Bee’s Knees Lacquer Spread Your Wings
Inspo: the book Belladonna
Description: a pale pink pastel multichrome with aqua to blue shimmer and a scattering of silver light reflective glitter
Price: $14 for 15ml | Cap: none
Spread Your Wings is a beautiful soft shimmery shade, it gives off fairy princess vibes! The shimmer in this polish is STRONG and is very in your face for such a delicate base color.
I found this is one of those shimmers that gets a little washed out in my bright lighting. The color of the shimmer in my 4th photo is the color that I was seeing in person.
The formula was fantastic, not too thick or too thin. The silver reflective glitter is super sparkly but gives off some texture. I opted to use a glitter smoothing top coat before my quick dry top coat, but depending on your preference, one top coat might do.
My photos show Spread Your Wings in 2 coats plus glossy top coat. I really loved how this looked on me in two coats but you can add a third if you want more opacity. However, this is one of the polishes that won’t be able to reach full opacity without use of an opaque base.
This is a little similar to BKL polish called Mirage (Heartless Hunter). The base colors between the two are different, technically Mirage has a purple base but it looks pinky purple on the nail. The shimmers are also different, Mirage is described as having an green to blue shimmer where this polish is aqua to blue. Not dupes but similar.
I had originally thought that this polish was a reflective glitter version of Infinite Endings from Once Upon A Broken Heart Mystery Bags. I don’t think the base color is *exactly* the same, but they’re similar enough that other than the reflective glitter, there isn’t a huge difference between the two.
