Hella Handmade Creations: December 2021

*Disclosure: Press samples – I received these polishes for free, some with additional compensation, in exchange for swatch photography. All reviews and opinions are my own.*

Hello! It’s that time of the month and that time of the year – the last HHC shop of the year! I have seven gorgeous polishes to share with you today.

Hella Handmade Creations is a monthly collaborative shop where indie makers get together to offer a series of products around a theme of their choosing. The shop is open from the 14th to the 21st of every month for pre-order on their website.

That’s it for the details, so let’s get into it!

BCB Lacquers: Triangulum

Triangulum is described as a black jelly with a pink/green/gold shift, pink/green/gold shifting flakies and holo micro flakes. It is the last polish in their Galaxy series.

Triangulum had a smooth and even formula, and its flakes were high in density and flat on the nail.

Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat, then with matte top coat. I absolutely loved how stunning this polish was matte.

Triangulum will be available for $13 with a cap of 150.

Bees Knees Lacquer: Rabbit Rabbit

Rabbit Rabbit is described as a white based shimmer that shifts from a soft blue to vibrant pink to purple with blue to red multichrome flakes. It is the next polish in their American Horror Story series.

Rabbit Rabbit was a bit sheer, so I think it could double as a topper. Its flakes were even and flat with medium density, and the polish feels like the blue/purple sister to Inmyeonjo (one of BKL’s previous monster mysteries).

Shown is three coats plus glossy top coat.

Rabbit Rabbit will be available for $13 with no cap.

Cuticula: Missing Link

Missing Link is described as a teal base with strong shifts of orange/gold/green shifting pigment and silver holographic flakes. It is inspired by Link in the Zelda video game and is the next in their Video Games series.

Missing Link had a smooth, even, and self-leveling formula. It dries a bit flat, so I recommend topping it with a glossy top coat to bring out the shimmer.

Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.

Missing Link will be available for $13 with no cap.

Kathleen and Co: Turquoise

Turquoise is described as a turquoise crelly base loaded with color shifting UCC and metallic flakes. It is the next polish in their birthstones series.

Turquoise had a smooth and even formula, with its flakes being dense and flat.

Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.

Turquoise will be available for $12.50 with a cap of 150.

Lilypad Lacquer: Lucky Charm

Lucky Charm is described as a neon green crelly with multichrome and iridescent flakes. It is the next polish in their Color Therapy series.

Lucky Charm had a pretty sheer jelly base, and its flakes are light in density. I would be wary of staining around the nails due to the green pigment.

Shown is three coats plus glossy top coat.

Lucky Charm will be available for $14 with no cap.

Nailed It: Hyper Beam

Hyper Beam is described as a subtle lavender tinted base with a pink to gold shifting shimmer and linear holo. It is the next polish in their Pokemon series.

Hyper Beam had a very smooth, slightly thicker formula. It was self-leveling and easy to work with.

Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.

Hyper Beam will be available for $13 with a cap of 180.

Rogue Lacquer: The One I’ve Been Looking For

The One I’ve Been Looking For is described as a black crelly with blue metallic and holo flakes, and inspired by Prince Eric. It is the next polish in their The Little Mermaid series.

The One I’ve Been Looking For had an even formula, and the flakes came out flat for me.

Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.

The One I’ve Been Looking For will be available for $12 with no cap.

So many goodies to choose from this month! Thanks for reading.

XOXO,

Lauren
