Overall Thoughts – Bee’s Knees Lacquer – May Birthday COTM Trio and Deadpool Collection
Overall: I have to be honest, it wasn’t until I read the maker provided descriptions did I realize that 3 of the polishes were magnetic. I was able to get bottle shots after the fact but didn’t have time to capture actual swatches…please forgive me. That said, please check out swatches and reviews from other swatchers/bloggers covering these polishes. I will do my best to get swatches on my IG in the next few days. Overall, I love these polishes and magnetic or not, they are a must in your Bee’s Knees Collection. Formula / Application: Great coverage and opacity! Goes on smooth and easy, no issues to report. The Queen’s Choice: Luck Isn’t a Superpower
Availability: Friday, May 11th
