Ghost or Furby?

Bee’s Knees Lacquer “Ghost or Furby” was released for November’s “Nostalgic Toys” Polish Pickup. The polish is inspired by the maker’s childhood furby, that may have been haunted. This is one of THREE haunted/possessed furby polishes in the collection, so obviously a common occurrence…

…I had a haunted furby once. It was the special “Gizmo” themed Furby and it made Mogwai noises. It was similarly haunted. So haunted, in fact, that my husband disappeared it. It’s been missing over 20 years…AND TO THIS DAY, he won’t tell me what happened to it. Did he just stick it in the attic and it was lost in a move? Or did he smash it with a hammer? Maybe he buried it in the back yard? To this day, this is the longest standing conflict in our marriage. He won’t admit to shit – he just says, “I forgot what I did with it. Let it go.”

I am not Elsa. I will never let it go.

I’ll be there at his deathbed, waiting for a confession.

This is two coats of “Ghost or Furby” over Cuticula Mic Drop Base Coat in “Tropical Oasis” and under Cuticula Limitless Top Coat in “Champagne Toast“.

Polish Pickup November 2024 – Nostalgic Toys

Oops, I went overboard on Polish Pickup again. Sorry, not sorry.

November’s theme was “Nostalgic Toys” – I wanted them ALL – Barbie, Jem, Furbies…but I tried to control myself…

DRK Nails “Lizard Grabber” ($13) is inspired by those slimy lizard grabber toys from gumball machines.

Kathleen & Co “Glow So Bright” ($13.50) is inspired by Lite Brite.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer “Ghost or Furby” ($13) is inspired by a haunted Furby.

Crystal Knockout “Dressin’ Up” ($12.50) is inspired by the 1987 Barbie & the Rockers movie, which I have NOT seen! This one is a thermal.

Garden Path Lacquers “Truly Truly” ($13.50) is inspired by the TRULY OUTRAGEOUS Jem & the Holograms.

These will be a LOT of fun! I missed December’s Polish Pickup – it was a week earlier than normal – so I hope these get me through until 2025!

Queen of Rot

I am so out of touch with the video game world…Bee’s Knees “Queen of Rot” is inspired by a boss named Malenia, from the game Eldin Ring. I googled her and she seems to have her titties out. Good for her! Slay them all with your titties out!

I like a nice color-shifting moment, and “Queen of Rot” shifts from a dark forest green to a scabby brownish red. I like it a lot. (This was the first polish I picked from the April batch.)

This is two coats of “Queen of Rot” over Cuticula Mic Drop Base Coat in “Melt Down” and under Cuticula Limitless Top Coat in “Raspberry Pop”.

Polish Pickup April 2024 – Video Games

Did I need another $90 worth of nail polish?

The answer is clearly YES.

April’s Polish Pickup theme was “Video Games” – and that’s such a good theme! I picked a few of these polishes just for the theme…

Bee’s Knees “Queen of Rot” ($14) is inspired by Malenia from Elden Ring. (Insert Melania joke here.)

Dam Nail Polish “NO! Not Rainbow Road!” ($13.50) is inspired by the hardest level of Mario Kart.

Fancy Gloss “I Think I Have an Idea” ($13.50) is inspired by the game Rayman.

Krisable Designs “Kevin for King!” ($12.50) is inspired by Kevin the Dog from the Overcooked Series.

Cadillacquer “The Killing Moon” ($14) is inspired by Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, but I am gonna pretend it’s about Donnie Darko.

Emily de Molly “Mileena Wins” ($13) is inspired by Mileena from Mortal Kombat II.

I bet you cannot guess which one I’m trying first…
