Bee’s Knees Lacquer Rainbow Brite Collection

Hi ladies! I hope you are all doing well today. Unfortunately I am *still* sick. I know I have a compromised immune system, but this is ridiculous. But you aren’t here to read about this crud. Have you heard of Bee’s Knees Lacquer House on Haunted Chill? It became extremely popular in a short period of time, and has built up it’s own cult-like following. Well Sarah has created a 7 piece Rainbow Brite themed collection that features the same shimmer pigment in each and every one! They are so beautiful, bright, and shifty shimmery. Let’s take a look…

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Rainbow Brite Collection


Bee’s Knees Lacquer Stormy
Bee's Knees Lacquer Stormy
From the Maker: Stormy, she might be a bit gloomy, preferring the dreary skies of winter, but there’s nothing dreary about this mauve crelly with flashes of opalescent shimmer.

The formula on this was flawless and applied smoothly in just 2 coats for full opacity. It does have that strong “blue polish smell” though, of course it disappears once it’s dry.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Sunriser
Bee's Knees Lacquer Sunriser

From the Maker: Sunriser, inspired by the horse so in love with Starlite, this is a hot pink jelly filled with opalescent shimmer giving it a golden shift just like a sun rise.

I love this pink! It’s just the perfect girly shimmery pink beauty. Applied effortlessly in 2 coats. Sealed with glossy top coat.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer On-X
Bee's Knees Lacquer On-X

From the Maker: On-X inspired by Krys’ mechanical horse, this is a dark slate polish with opalescent shimmer and a strong pink shift.

On-X is definitely one of my top favs from this collection. Between the pink shimmer and teal shifts this polish has everything. It’s absolutely stunning. My swatches are 2 easy smooth coats then sealed with glossy top coat.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Murky Dismal
Bee's Knees Lacquer Murky Dismal

From the Maker: Murky Dismal is inspired by the bumbling villain in Rainbow Brite. There is no bumbling around though with this grass green jelly filled with opalescent shimmer, giving it a lime green shift.

Have I mentioned a thousand times I love green polish? Clearly I have a lot of VNL (visible nail line) at 3 coats, but I suspect most of that is my very opaque free edge. But this polish is so pretty I don’t even mind. 3 coats with glossy top coat.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Skydancer
Bee's Knees Lacquer Skydancer

From the Maker: Skydancer inspired by Stormy’s fearsome horse, is an indigo jelly with tons of opalescent shimmer.

Imagine that, another stunner! Pictures really don’t do it justice. Again some VNL at 3 coats, but not enough to bother me. Sealed with glossy top coat.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Dark Princess
Bee's Knees Lacquer Dark Princess

From the Maker: Dark Princess is inspired by the main villain in Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer. It is described as a fire orange jelly with opalescent shimmer, giving it a golden shift to mimic her hair.

Love love love this fiery glowing orange! Flawless formula. 3 easy coats with glossy top coat.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Majestic AF
Bee's Knees Lacquer Majestic AF

From the Maker: Majestic AF inspired by none other than Starlite himself, this is an opalescent top coat that adds a gold to pink to lime green shift to any polish underneath it.

A beautiful versatile topper that would be gorgeous over any shade. Here I have 1 coat over black then sealed with glossy top coat.
