I'm sharing 2 of the May contributions to Hella Handmade Creations with you today, just in case you needed help deciding to buy more polish. MWAHAHAHAHA!
Not familiar with HHC? HHC is a Facebook group that was created to have custom and exclusive polishes created for their members. The current format allows indie makers to choose a theme and do a "collection" based on that theme, one polish each month. Buy whatever you like from lots of makers each month.
LynBDesigns | Smelly Cat
PRICE: $12 | CAP: 90
Described as a peach to white thermal filled with shimmer and red to gold to chartreuse to green shifting UCC flakies. I absolutely love the white isn't stark, but more of a cream. It is absolutely gorgeous. While I was swatching I had a hard time keeping the creamy warm state on because the air conditioner had me freezing to death. This will tell you how reactive the thermal is. Shown in 2 coats with glossy top coat.
Necessary Evil Polish | Don't Blink. Blink & You're Dead
PRICE: $12 | CAP: NONE
Described as a grey base with a pink and gold shimmer, holo flakes and scattered holo. What a beauty! I hate when my nail line is visible, but this is so versatile! It was so pretty in one coat that I thought if you should want a nice palette cleanser in between polishes, this would be something to still give you some pop...shown this way on my pinky That then made me wonder if it was sheer enough to be a topper, and hoo boy! I put one coat over a navy creme and look at that shimmer! The rest of my nails show 3 coats with glossy top coat.
Available June 14 - 21 at the HHC store. Do either of these tickle your fancy?
June brings us a new month, a new box and a new change to The Charity Box. We are now offering all polishes individually, and $1 from each polish will be donated to the monthly chosen charity. This will allow us to donate more to each charity. June's charity is The Trevor Project, the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth. JReine Cosmetics is joined by Lynb Designs and Moonflower Polish.
Described as a deep purple/berry jelly base with flakies that shift blue/purple/pink and gold. What a hot summer color...and absolutely packed with flakies! This will fulfill those flakie dreams. Shown in 3 coats and for shits and giggles I threw 2 coats over a purple creme on my ring finger with glossy topcoat.
LynBDesigns - Meet Me In The Medina
PRICE: $12 | CAP: NONE
Described as a royal blue jelly base filled with violet to red to copper shifting flakies, a hint of copper shimmer and holo shimmer. This base color is to die for and I love the shifting flakies in this...and y'all know I feel about holo. Shown in 3 coats with glossy topcoat.
Moonflower Polish - Twilight Revelry
PRICE: $12 | CAP: NONE
Described as a violet creme with subtle purple to blue color shifting shimmer. Use as a regular polish in 1-2 coats or for stamping and other nail art techniques. Dries semi matte, add topcoat for a glossy finish. This polish was an easy peasy 1 coat and it stamped beautifully. Shown in 1 coat with glossy top coat, stamped over black creme.
As always, there is an option to donate an additional amount to the charity. Still want the entire box with all 3 beauties? Use code ALLTHETHINGS to take $4 off and donate $2 to the charity.
June Polish Pickup is quickly approaching, y'all! Just a couple of days away.
I apologize for my lack of posts, but I'm struggling with some health stuff at
the moment. These nonstop migraines and headaches are killing me. But let's
get to the goods, shall we? 10 products this time for the theme of Cocktails
& Mocktails. I think we could all use one of these right about
now.🍷🍸🍹🥃
Baby Girl Lacquer |Doin' The Mi-most-a!
PRICE: $12.50 | CAP: US 95, UK 5
Doin' The Mi-most-a! is described as a citrus scented orange to yellow thermal
that also shifts to a peachy red as a solar. Hybrid at it's best! I will say
that my bottle was damaged in transit. I did the macros as soon as it arrived
and you can definitely see the difference in the thermal transition from then
to approximately a week later when I did the swatches. The solar effect didn't
work out much at all, but I have a hard time in general with solar polish. The
maker's batch was tested after I talked to her and was working fine on both
counts. Shown in 3 coats with glossy top coat.
Flirtin' | Taste of Summer
PRICE: $11.50 | CAP: 75
Taste of Summer is described as a sheer orange jelly polish with citrus holo
glitters and flakes. Oh, how I love an orange polish. But this sparkly
goodness is beyond with it's squishiness and holo glitter! Shown in 3 coats
with glossy top coat.
Jior Couture | A Dirty Shirley
PRICE: $11.50 | CAP: NONE
A Dirty Shirley is described as a gorgeous red/orange jelly base with
red/orange/gold multichrome shift reminiscent of the orange juice, grenadine
and splash of vodka of this tasty drink. Added in is red/gold/green aurora
representing the super sweet maraschino cherries and slice of lime. I opened
this polish and audibly ooooooooooooohed. It’s hard to do that after all the
polish I get in my paws. Initially I thought it would be too sheer, so I did
use a red creme as an undie on my ring finger, but it was absolutely not
needed. It built up beautifully in 3 coats.
JReine Cosmetics | On the Rocks
PRICE: $13 | CAP: NONE
On The Rocks is a bright blue jelly base loaded with tons of red, copper, gold
to green chromatic shimmers. Holy shitballs, batman! This color is TO.
DIE. FOR. Y’all know I’m not one for anything that is even remotely pastel,
which this might look in the bottle, but no! Just no! Please do yourself a
favor and get this polish or kick yourself later. Shown in 3 coats with glossy
top coat.
JReine Cosmetics | Lyra Pixie Magic Kit
PRICE: $15 | CAP: NONE
*Also available this month is another Pixie Magic Kit in Lyra. Never tried
burnishing powder because you don't do gel polish? Well, this is your
chance!

powder in Lyra, applicator and instructions. The Super Base is meant to be
able to use the powder over regular polish. No gel polish, no water based top

It is described as a super sparkling shift of violet, fuchsia, gold, and
green. I added it over Smoked, a gray one coat creme…and look at her
shine!
LynBDesigns | Lei'd Back
PRICE: $12 | CAP: NONE
Lei'd Back is described as a dark blurple to gray blue to peach tri-thermal
with red/green/gold shifting aurora shimmer, pink/gold shifting flakies and a
boat load of violet/pink/copper/ orange shifting flakies. The flakies in this
y'all! The. Flakies. Hot damn! Shown in 3 coats with glossy & matte top
coat.
My Stunning Nails | Raspberry Kiss
PRICE: $12.50 | CAP: US 100, UK 15
Raspberry Kiss is described as a polish with pink mica, pinkish red
holographic glitter and more fine holographic glitter. In the photos it is
shown with opaque white shards, but Lisa decided to remove them from the
polish for a smoother application and finish. I enjoy the super fine holo
glitter...look at it sparkle. Shown in 2 coats with glossy top coat.
Pretty Beautiful Unlimited | Crystal Ball
PRICE: $12.50 | CAP: US 150, UK 10
Crystal Ball is described as a turquoise jelly base loaded with scattered
holographic pigment and micro flakes, aurora shimmer and a mix of 4 crystal
chameleon flakies. What a pretty base color…add in all that jazz and holy
moly! Virginia is great at adding everything but the kitchen sink and making
it look good! Shown in 2 coats with glossy top coat.

scattered holographic microglitter and ghost flakies that shift pink, blue,
green, gold. Phew! First, was this named after me? 🤣 This gorgeous baby is a
true jelly, so it's on the sheer side. I used a blurple one coat creme on my
ring finger just to show what it would look like and boy, can you see that
shimmer pop! I approve using this as a topper or a full polish. Shown in 3
coats alone and 2 coats over undie (1 was all that was needed) with glossy top
coat.
