Hello! Barely making it in on time yet again, but this time I’m here with six of this month’s Hella Handmade Creations offerings. HHC is a monthly collaborative shop where makers submit products, typically nail polish, around a theme of their choosing. The HHC shop is open for preorder every month from 12:01am ET on the 14th to 11:59pm Hawaii time on the 21st on the HHC site.
I have six polishes to share with you today, so let’s get into it!
BCB Lacquers: I’m Surrounded By Idiots!
I’m Surrounded By Idiots! is described as an aquamarine blue with a strong green/blue shift and holo. It is the next polish in their Disney Villains series and is inspired by Scar from The Lion King.
I’m Surrounded By Idiots! had a smooth and slightly thinner formula.
Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.
I’m Surrounded By Idiots! will be available for $13 with a cap of 200.
Bees Knees Lacquer: Crowded AF
Crowded AF is described as a black to green to purple multichrome with holo flakes and ruby red light reflective glitter. It is the last polish in their American Horror Story series and is inspired by the final episode – the return to Murder House.
Crowded AF had a smooth and even formula. Its glitters were dense and the polish dried a bit flat.
Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat, first in normal studio lighting and then with flash.
Crowded AF will be available for $13.50 with no cap.
Cupcake Polish: Vision
Vision is described as a denim blue nail polish filled with red/gold/green shifting aurora shimmer. It is the last polish in their WandaVision series, and is inspired by its namesake, Vision.
Vision had a smooth and slightly thinner formula.
Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.
Vision will be available for $13 with no cap.
Kathleen & Co: Center Of The Milky Way
Center Of The Milky Way is described as a pale lilac base loaded with color shifting iridescent flakes and a touch of holo. It is the next polish in their A Galaxy Far Far Away series.
Center Of The Milky Way had a smooth formula with flakes that were flat and highly dense. I recommend building this polish up in medium to slightly thicker coats.
Shown is three coats plus glossy top coat.
Center Of The Milky Way will be available for $13 with a cap of 175.
Lilypad Lacquer: Decadence
Decadence is described as a clear base filled with assorted gold holo glitters and gold/purple crystal flakes. It is the next polish in their Colour Therapy series.
Decadence had a slightly thicker jelly formula that could double as a topper.
Shown is three coats plus glossy top coat.
Decadence will be available for $14 with a cap of 50.
Nailed It: Pastel Veil
Pastel Veil is described as pale lilac base with a strong green leaning teal to blue color shifting shimmer and holo flakes. It is the next polish in their Pokemon series and is inspired by Ponyta.
Pastel Veil had a smooth and even formula that leaned a bit on the thicker side. It dries a bit flat so you’ll want to pair it with a glossy top coat.
Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.
Pastel Veil will be available for $13 with a cap of 250.
Let me know which polishes you’ll be picking up this month, and thanks for reading!
