10 Year Blogaversary Giveaway | Bee’s Knees Lacquer

by Lisa Heath

Giveaway Items Gifted by Bee’s Knees Lacquer

Happy Friday and Happy New Years Eve! Today is my official 10 Year Blogaversary, and we’re kicking the giveaway off with the Bee’s Knees Lacquer donation!

10 years ago I sat down and made my first blog post. In 10 years I have typed up 3,680 blog posts. I have uploaded 96,833 photos. I have watched indie brands come and go and there’s been a lot of good times and bad.

I have had a lot of opportunities, both with indies and sponsored content. In 10 years I have had partnerships with some incredible brands and makers, but I’ve also had some unfortunate dealings with makers (I will never forget the time a brand knew I was home with a 103 temp and demanded I go “fetch” her package at my work cause she needed photos NOW and confirmation showed it was just delivered.) But overall the good has outweighed the bad and I am forever thankful for the chances I have been given and the mistakes I have learned from.

My son was starting Kindergarten when this blog was made, he’s now a sophomore in high school. Where I was once balancing a full time job, raising an incredible little boy and blogging – I am now really just balancing a full time job and blogging because he’s almost 16 doesn’t need mom as much (but I still drop everything when he wants to do something with this old lady) I was 29 when I made my first post and now I’m pushing 40 (in March!)

There were many times I considered throwing in the towel, but I still enjoy doing this too damn much.

So to celebrate my 10 years of constant posts – I have asked for maker volunteers to create a custom polish for a series of giveaways! Each maker donated at least 2 bottles of a custom – one for me to swatch and keep for the milestone and one to giveaway. If you are a maker and would like to participate and missed the original post – email me at [email protected]

While they made the custom for my blog – makers were given permission to release the custom at a later date. Not all will do this – some literally made it but didn’t save a recipe while others do intend to release it later. So I did make sure there was no exclusivity to the polish, and it’s up to the makers discretion.

Each maker had free rein to create what they wished to. I am a swatcher and not a maker for a reason and each individual maker has their own signature touch.

10 Year Blogaversary Giveaway | Bee’s Knees Lacquer

Sarah of Bee’s Knees Lacquer created a custom polish with a medium grey jelly base loaded with strong gold to pale copper to green shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

This one is unnamed, so I will probably name it and send it off – I just don’t know what to name it. Probably something like “10 Year Blog Anniversary” cause I’m creative like that.

The Rules for The Giveaway


I will have a new giveaway up each day. Because of my schedule – I will draw winners for all giveaways ending that previous week on Sunday nights. I have each item in my possession so I will contact each winner for shipping information and then ship within 5 business days of receiving the shipping information.

I will only display the winners name on the widget AFTER the winner has responded to my email notifying they have won. I will be emailing from [email protected] – so please make sure the email is not in spam. If I have not received a response in 10 business days, I will draw a new winner and previous winner will forfeit their prize.

I display the names after because I have had people try to create emails and claim to be the winner before.

I will provide tracking for each winner. I am not responsible for lost or stolen packages. Once I ship, it’s out of my hands and I do not have replacement bottles.

Giveaway is open to EVERYONE. I will ship internationally for this because I want everyone who has followed along with me over the last 10 years to have a chance. Again though, if the package is missing, lost, stolen or confiscated on the way – I am not responsible for it and I will not be replacing.

I have made entering requirements easy. There are mandatory entries and one optional. The optional is only if you want an additional entry. The mandatory one you can come back daily to do as well if you wish to for more entries.

If you have additional questions, please email me at [email protected] and I will be happy to answer.

Thank you to Sarah of Bee’s Knees Lacquer for your donation and for working with me for the past few years. Thank you to all the readers, or the people who randomly pop in, for stopping by.

Happy Blogversary, Lisa! Thanks, Bees Knees for the giveaway!

Sarah M December 31, 2021 - 3:09 pm

This is so hard! I don’t think I can pick a favorite BKL polish I love every one I’ve collected so far so much – my favorite of the moment might be Lamea? But I’m sure that will change like any minute now as I swatch through my new lovelies from the last sale

Cassidy Molnar December 31, 2021 - 3:23 pm

Impossible decision! If I have to choose, it might be “I just wanted a sister”.

Congrats on 10 years! My favorite BKL is probably F*ck Cancer 2020.

It’s hard to pick, but probably Tartaros!

Jena E. December 31, 2021 - 3:32 pm

Beautiful! Congratulations! My favorite is, The Kind of Vitamin D I Like.

CBK December 31, 2021 - 3:32 pm

House on Haunted Chill was one of my first purchases from Bee’s Knees in 2017, and I still love it. Another fave is No Such Thing as an Evil Turkey, because it’s pretty, but the name makes me giggle.

Jessica K December 31, 2021 - 3:35 pm

Congratulations!!! My favorite BKL is Basilisk Horn.

Rachel H December 31, 2021 - 3:35 pm

Congratulations on 10 years of your blog – what a milestone!! ❤️✨ My BKL obsession started this year with A Lion With A Thorn in Its Paw, and I have added many more to my collection since then. My top recent favorites have to be Lady of Storms, Murderous Little Creature, and Dokkaebi.

Carolyn Spengler December 31, 2021 - 3:38 pm

The asteri is my favorite and I haven’t used it yet!!

Maggie R December 31, 2021 - 3:43 pm

Congratulations on 10 years!!

Maggie R January 1, 2022 - 12:42 pm

It’s so hard to choose a favorite BKL, there are so many beautiful ones! Currently probably Blood Moon, Dokkaebi, or Lion With a Thorn in its Paw.

Michelle December 31, 2021 - 3:45 pm

Wow 10 years!! It’s about an 8 year blog-a-versary for me right now, and I haven’t done a tenth what you manage in just one year! Congrats on the huge milestone!

For Bee’s Knees, I gotta go pretty old skool – House on Haunted Chill remains a serious fave! But SS Georgie gives it a solid run for the money.

Irma December 31, 2021 - 3:45 pm

BKL has so many gorgeous polishes, so it’s hard to pick just one. One of my favorites that I use a lot and had to buy an extra bottle of is When All Is Blood.

Megan M. December 31, 2021 - 3:48 pm

Happy blogiversary!!!!

My current favourite from BKL is You Are Not Human.

Kirstie Carter December 31, 2021 - 3:48 pm

I don’t know if I can truly pick a favorite, but “One Human Alcohol Beer” has become iconic for my friend and I. We share a love for BKL and What We Do in The Shadows, and this polish is probably among the top 3 favorites of all polishes among all brands for both of us. She recently moved to another country, so this polish is even more special as in a way it connects us from oceans apart.

Enjoli Pruden December 31, 2021 - 3:48 pm

Wow! 10 years!? Congratulations! My favorite BKL is Annabelle. Thanks for the chance to win this beauty!

Shanon Burke December 31, 2021 - 3:49 pm

Megan December 31, 2021 - 3:55 pm

Congrats on 10 years! I love your reflection on how much your life has changed since you started blogging. Picking a favorite BKL is tough, I have quite a bit and I haven’t even worn them all! I think right now my favorite is Crimson Hag.

Eve West December 31, 2021 - 3:56 pm

Congratulations on 10 years, I know I’ve said it a million times but not only do I love your blog, I love that you are/were a WoW player! BKL is my fav so it’s really hard to choose a favorite individual polish from them, I think today I’ll go with Titus!

Happy Blogaversary! I only really got into BKL this year but before then, I bought her Rick and Morty HHC polishes (because I adore the show) and her exclusives from one of the polish con events.

Fiona Goodier December 31, 2021 - 5:32 pm

Congrats on 10 years! It’s hard to choose just one, as I love the Bioshock, Borderlands, GOW and Elder Scrolls collections so I’ll put a random one, errr… Boethiah

Ann Shuman December 31, 2021 - 5:34 pm

Congrats for 10 yrs. I really enjoy that you actually “review” the items. Most people just repost the description. I can tell how much work you put into it.

My fav BLK is Area 51, but I love lots so others as well.

Kelly F December 31, 2021 - 5:38 pm

Congratulations on 10 years, Lisa!

Stacy Pennock December 31, 2021 - 5:50 pm

I don’t even like purple polishes (on me) but I’m MADLY in love with Bee’s Knees Dark Bidding (FF March 2021). My runner up would be A Lion With A Thorn In It’s Paw.
Congrats on your blogiversary!!

Alanna M December 31, 2021 - 6:03 pm

My favorite right now is probably The Dragon – but my favorite changes basically every time I put on a new BKL

JSpence December 31, 2021 - 6:05 pm

This is a hard one, but I just got Lady of Oceans, and it’s really beautiful. That might be my favorite right now.

Dawn K December 31, 2021 - 6:07 pm

That’s fantastic, congrats! That polish is stunning. I just got my first BKLs this Black Friday! I love them all, but I think I’m going to go with Lady of Storms

LarT December 31, 2021 - 6:12 pm

I have an extensive BKL collection & to pick a favorite would be really difficult. But I’ll have to say Chewnicorn…it was my first & I’ve actually worn it twice or even *gasp* three times. Also Suberb Owl because when I figured out the name, I laughed & laughed.

Thank you so much, Lisa, for your blog. I only learned about indie polish in 2020 so I hope you’ll be around for a while.

Shay R December 31, 2021 - 6:22 pm

Teri Birrell December 31, 2021 - 6:39 pm

I mean… who can’t love BKL’s Lion with a Thorn in its Paw? It’s stunning. As is this one for your blog! (Can I suggest “10 Year Blog Bog” as a name, since it’s a beautiful bog-gy green?)

Lisa Heath December 31, 2021 - 8:05 pm

Done. That shall be the name

Lora C Anderson December 31, 2021 - 6:48 pm

I think my favorite BKL depends on the day and season. Right now my favorite is Area 51, but most days it’s Guillermo Buillermo

Mel December 31, 2021 - 7:07 pm

Congrats on 10 years! Can’t believe you have influenced my polish purchases for so long .. thank you!!

Alida-Jane December 31, 2021 - 7:09 pm

My favorite BKL is definitely Eve!

Carol Lee December 31, 2021 - 7:14 pm

Congrats! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I think The Harp is well one of my favorites.

Kim S December 31, 2021 - 7:25 pm

Congrats!! I’m looking forward to many more years of gorgeous swatches.

Currently, my favorite BKL is IT!!

Amanda Davis December 31, 2021 - 7:54 pm

Congrats on 10 years!!!!! My favorite bkl is abjuration!

Laurie Weber December 31, 2021 - 7:54 pm

Congrats to you on your 10year milestone! I’d have to say my favorite it the one that got me hooked, House on Haunted Chill!!

Kerre December 31, 2021 - 7:56 pm

Happy anniversary! I have always appreciated the quality, consistent photos and helpful descriptions you provide. I am a fan of all the BKL polishes I own (and several I WISH I owned!) but from a usage perspective, ‘Byss and Blood tops my list. I’ve worn it alone, over red creme, and as part of a tortoiseshell mani! Such a lovely and versatile color and formula!

Gloria F. December 31, 2021 - 7:58 pm

I think my favorite so far from BKL is “The Vampire Queen”

Nichole Martin December 31, 2021 - 8:03 pm

I love Gravebone, but honestly the more I think about it, the more that I remember. It’s hard to choose!

Congrats–and thank you!–for 10 years. A huge milestone. I found your blog when I found PPU and have been so thankful for your swatches.

Wanda E December 31, 2021 - 8:18 pm

Area 51 is my favorite, so far. Congratulations on your Anniversary milestone. Love your swatches.

Chantal D. December 31, 2021 - 8:29 pm

Congrats on 10 years! It’s hard to pick a favourite BKL. One that comes to mind is For the Koalas.

Jia Wang December 31, 2021 - 8:30 pm

Wow! 10 years Lisa! Congratulations! my favorite BKL would probably be Aster, it’s a shifty goddess

Stephanie T December 31, 2021 - 8:39 pm

Bee’s Knees is one of my most owned brands so it’s basically impossible to choose. I would say it’s a tie between Valkyries, Fine Make Me Your Villian, and Shark Bait (but I could name a good 15 more that make my jaw drop). Congrats on a decade!

Libby December 31, 2021 - 8:44 pm

Wow! What a commitment! Great job and thanks for planning such a great giveaway.

Lyla San Jose December 31, 2021 - 8:48 pm

My (current) favorite is Thou Shalt Suffer For This.

Libby December 31, 2021 - 8:49 pm

And I love Tartaros, purple is my favorite.

KB December 31, 2021 - 8:50 pm

Congrats on a decade!

Just one favorite BKL? *gulp* Maybe “The Casket Girls”

Carolina December 31, 2021 - 8:55 pm

I haven’t tried BKL at this point I’d love to try anything from them. Congratulations on 10 years!!!

Lona Calderon December 31, 2021 - 9:11 pm

I can’t pick a favorite BKL, they are all so beautiful! However, Forever & Always is I’ve of my favorite toppers.

Giana George December 31, 2021 - 9:16 pm

My favorite Bee’s Knees polish is The Asteri
it’s like magic!

Alyson Bermudez December 31, 2021 - 9:26 pm

I love I Punch the Initiative because it’s just so bright and beautiful! I just found Bees Knees this year & it’s such a shame she has to close the store.

Allison December 31, 2021 - 9:35 pm

My favorite BKL is Gravity Well.

Tanya Wright December 31, 2021 - 9:38 pm

Ugh!! She has so many that I love it’s really hard to choose a favorite but one i use the most is Doomicorn.

Jillian December 31, 2021 - 9:43 pm

Congratulationnnns!! Really cool you kept a blog for so long lol. My fav BKL is Shoggoth!

Julz51 December 31, 2021 - 9:46 pm

Congratulations . I have so many favourite BKLs but my most recent favourite is Lady of the Lake.

Chris R December 31, 2021 - 10:23 pm

My favorite BKL? Sarah has made so many beautiful polishes, I don’t know if I can pick just one. Curse You, Rainbow Girl, Crimson Hag, and Scion are a few of my favorites. I’m really going to miss Sarah and her polishes when she leaves. Congratulations on 10 years! You deserve the success.

J.L. Smith December 31, 2021 - 10:52 pm

Gwishin!

P.S. Congratulations & Thank You!

Lisa December 31, 2021 - 10:53 pm

I love all of my BKLs… Have a different favorite every day. :)

Blaire December 31, 2021 - 11:06 pm

Congratulations on 10 years! I count on your advice on scents, and your consistently lit and beautifully photographed swatches. And the occasional slightly snarky comment is highly enjoyed. I hope you continue to love what you’re doing so we can share with you for years to come.

Blaire December 31, 2021 - 11:07 pm

Oops. My favorite is still “Lion With A Thorn In Its Paw”.

Nicole Bomski December 31, 2021 - 11:20 pm

My favorite BKL is When All Is Blood!

Bryn Taylor December 31, 2021 - 11:23 pm

A Girl Is Arya Stark is one of my favorites but I love so many of the magnetics

My favourite BKL polish is an older one – The Upside Down

Lily Butterbur December 31, 2021 - 11:53 pm

My favorite BKL? Blorange

Aya January 1, 2022 - 12:37 am

“Keep reaching out your hand” had been my go-to palette cleanser.

Sharmine January 1, 2022 - 1:09 am

Based on what I fall back to, my 2 favourites are Perfectly Splendid & Crunk Bunny which is unlike what I usually gravitate towards when picking lacquer colours.

Janie January 1, 2022 - 4:02 am

My favorite BKL is probably The Mask, congrats on 10 years!

JoJo January 1, 2022 - 4:25 am

Congratulations on 10 years Lisa! Love your blog!

Chris January 1, 2022 - 4:30 am

Your blog helps us so much every single moth to make sure we get the polishes that we need. BKL is an incredible brand and it’s difficult to choose a favourite polish. I think it is probably Eve at the moment.

Chris January 1, 2022 - 5:31 am

I apparently deleted a sentence out of my initial reply. Thank you so much for all the work you put into showcasing all the beautiful polishes from the incredible makers. Congratulations on everything you have built!

Emily R January 1, 2022 - 5:23 am

Congratulations! My favorite BKL is a tough one – it might just be Space is the Place though! I love her shimmers.

Tiffany Davidson January 1, 2022 - 5:26 am

Congrats on the 10 years!!
BKL has so many great ones but I guess I’d go with House on Haunted Chill

Anne F. January 1, 2022 - 5:27 am

Congratulations on 10 years!!
So many favs, but Tartaros and Hope Strengthens fear Kills might be my faves this year!

Keetah January 1, 2022 - 5:41 am

Congratulations! An impossible question with an every changing answer currently mesmerized by Fruits of the Land. Have been trying to get my paws on Ghislaine

Christine Shirley January 1, 2022 - 6:02 am

Thank you so much for the opportunity and happy 10 years!

Nan January 1, 2022 - 6:51 am

Thinking about my BKL collection, one of my favorites has been RIP These Fish In Particular.

Alisha White January 1, 2022 - 10:37 am

Oh my, that’s a hard one! I have many BKL that I adore! Either One Human Alcohol Beer or All Hail King Paimon.

Grace Kelly January 1, 2022 - 12:07 pm

Don’t Go to Sleep was my first BKL and is definitely one my favorites. It is also my gateway into this fabulous indie polish rabbit hole. Thank you Lisa for all your hard work

Rachel chenel January 1, 2022 - 12:17 pm

My favorite bkl so far is probably Titus! But that’s just so far…

Amey January 1, 2022 - 12:25 pm

I could never just pick one bkl!!! Maybe the convict

Amy Myrick January 1, 2022 - 1:00 pm

I haven’t gotten my hands on any BKL yet, but would love to have A Lion with a Thorn in its Paw

KARLA Hemphill January 1, 2022 - 1:52 pm

Congrats on 10 years…..My favorite BK Lacquer is You were My Monster followed closely by Lady of Storms.

BRANDY LITZ January 1, 2022 - 2:21 pm

Congratulations on 10 years! I thank you for ALL of your hard work over the years… however, my wallet does not. I love Keep Summer Safe.

beckymmoe January 1, 2022 - 3:33 pm

My favorite is always the last one I had on, so right now it’s Chrysalis!

SG January 1, 2022 - 5:02 pm

The Sharpshooter, all the way!

Brimilew January 1, 2022 - 5:47 pm

I have over 300 BKL, so I truly can’t pick just one. A more recent love is Doomicorn.

Stephanie H January 1, 2022 - 5:48 pm

I am relatively new to the indie polish world and I have appreciated your swatches immensely! What a milestone. Congrats!

Brooke January 1, 2022 - 5:52 pm

Bee’s Knees is my favorite indie, I have almost four helmer drawers of their polishes! I think my favorite of them all is Murderous Little Creatures.

Liz C January 1, 2022 - 6:51 pm

I have a lot of BKL polish but I’m going to go with the first one that popped into my head: Eve. It’s a gorgeous bright blue matte shimmer polish from the Bioshock mystery bags from a couple years ago. My perfect blue.

Nicolette/polishedbynay January 1, 2022 - 7:03 pm

Congratulations on your blogiversary! Lady of Storms is my current favorite BKL.

Laura Atkinson January 1, 2022 - 7:20 pm

Congratulations! I don’t have a BKL favorite yet

Jessica January 1, 2022 - 7:22 pm

Currently loving The Unseelie King

Jasmine January 1, 2022 - 7:28 pm

Too many to choose just one favorite, but my first favorite was House on Haunted Chill.

Michelle Rightley January 1, 2022 - 7:49 pm

Congrats Lisa! My fave BKL is a you Are My Home.

Holly Cooley January 1, 2022 - 8:09 pm

Congrats on 10 years Lisa!

Ashley Cessor January 2, 2022 - 7:29 am

New to BKL, but really like the smut is a must in PPU

beckymmoe January 2, 2022 - 8:52 am

I watched Polish with Rae’s top 2021 polishes last night, so now I’m in love with A Lion with a Thorn in its Paw!

Tandi Cortez January 2, 2022 - 1:47 pm

The Fruits of the Land is such a pretty polish!

Brittany Fholer January 2, 2022 - 2:05 pm

I’ve been buying BKL since they were in rectangle bottles. I love any polish they release, but especially if they’re green or magnetic! I’m excited for their new HHC which looks to have reflective glitter.

Tessa January 2, 2022 - 4:06 pm

I only got into BKL this year so most of polishes were from 2021 releases. My favorite (and the one that started my obsession with the brand) has to be A Lion With A Thorn In It’s Paw

Tessa January 2, 2022 - 4:35 pm

Congrats on the 10 years! I stumbled on you blog probably 4 years ago. I want to thank you for all the hard work you put into this blog, providing us with accurate pictures and descriptions. Thank you

Kate January 2, 2022 - 4:15 pm

Gwishin is my current favorite – wore it to ring in the new year!

Sheryl A. January 2, 2022 - 5:07 pm

I love The Sandworm! But there are so many more…..

Rebecca January 2, 2022 - 5:40 pm

The only BKL I own is Lion With a Thorn in Its Paw, and that’s one of my all-time favorite polishes, so I really need to expand my collection! Happy blogaversary!

NT January 2, 2022 - 7:41 pm

My favorite BKL is Tartaros. It was my first BKL ever and SUCH a stunner!

Mary Lazarenko January 2, 2022 - 9:20 pm

Favorite off the top of my head is Lion With a Thorn … this anniversary polish is mind blowing and worthy of a 10 year anniversary celebration. You rock!

Sandra Villalobos January 2, 2022 - 9:25 pm

My current favorite from BKL is Murderous Little Creature. I’m new to indie polishes so trying to grow my collection. Happy 10 year Anniversary!

Nicole January 2, 2022 - 10:18 pm

Goodness it is super difficult to choose one favorite BKL but as a purple polish and unicorn pee lover I’d say Master of Alchemy.

Annie January 3, 2022 - 12:07 pm

Congrats! I haven’t tried it yet, but I have BKL’S Cauldron just waiting to be tried on!

Marilynn M Schroeder January 3, 2022 - 3:24 pm

My fav Bees Knees polish is A Lion with a thorn in its paw, which I gifted to my niece…so I got to use it once…

beckymmoe January 3, 2022 - 3:53 pm

Still loving Lion with a Thorn in Its Paw, but I’m betting I will love the next one I’m trying (I Am No Lamb) just as much!

Jeanine B. January 3, 2022 - 4:31 pm

One of my favorites is Dragon Heartstring.

Lynn January 3, 2022 - 4:48 pm

Congratulations on 10 years. I love your blog. I always check it out before making a purchase. I can’t imagine how you do it all – a full time job and all that swatching and blogging. Wow! My favorite BKL is Ice to My Fever. Just love how all the changes it makes – from a shimmery nude to icy blue like an opal.

Erin M January 3, 2022 - 10:12 pm

My newest favorite BKL is Blood Moon from ppu a few months ago. The shiftyness is absolutely insane!

Ruxandra January 4, 2022 - 10:24 am

Maeve is my absolute favorite purple polish ever!

Sophia D January 4, 2022 - 7:17 pm

It is always a pleasure seeing your swatches in the indie nail polish community! Congratulations on 10 years!

Mallory January 5, 2022 - 5:23 am

I just wore “I will devour all of you” after a whole week, it is so pretty!

Lisa Heath January 5, 2022 - 7:38 am

My favorite Bee’s Knees Lacquers so far have been the toppers with the tiny red to black multichrome flakies! I can’t get enough!

Lisa T. January 5, 2022 - 1:17 pm

Bee’s Knees creates another beauty. Also, the stats on how many things you’ve posted over the years are terrifying even after you divide it by ten. Well done!

Sarah K. January 5, 2022 - 5:08 pm

I only have Don’t Go To Sleep from BKL so far, but it’s a stunner!

Renee G January 5, 2022 - 9:51 pm

I have been wanting to try Sea Wyvern.

diagonelly January 6, 2022 - 8:28 pm

“I want to be the very best” was my first bkl and is probably my fave just for that reason!

V January 7, 2022 - 9:32 am

Congrats on 10 years!!! Current fav BKL is Lamea!

Celeste January 7, 2022 - 11:10 am

I haven’t tried BKL before but just bought my first from the January Polish Pickup! I’m obsessed with their multichrome flakie polishes, like I’ll Give Them a Witch.

Amelia January 7, 2022 - 2:54 pm

I love The Lady in the Lake! Such a cool, understated polish :)
