1850 Artisan They All Become Blueberries
inspired by Violet's demise by bubblegum in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This is a light blue in warmest state, medium blue in the cool state, and purple in the cold state. This beauty is highlighted with a blue to purple multichrome flash, holographic microflakes, and a sprinkling of red/green shifting aurora.
130 bottle cap
This shift from the shimmer causes the purple shade to have a sort of magenta flash, truly beautiful.
Bee's Knees Solenya
a pickle green polish with red shimmer and packed with a rainbow of iridescent flakes inspired by Rick and Morty.
No cap.
The description of 'pickle green' makes me giggle. I wonder if I should start hiding it in the Christmas tree?
Blush The Pink Phink
a steel blue linear holo base with small pink holographic glitters and larger iridescent shifting glitters of blue, purple, pink, red, orange and yellow inspired by the Pink Panther.
No cap
Beautifully done, especially loving the pops of pink glitter.

a saturated wine base color loaded with ruby shimmer, gold to apple color shifting shimmer, and multiple sizes of holo silver micro glitter.

Very heavily pigmented, opaque in one coat. Shown here in two with topcoat. Removal is best with the foil method or peel off base.
Colors By Llarowe Seven Seas of Rhye

100 box set cap
DRK Nails The Cover is Not the Book
a green/teal magnetic with iridescent flakies blue/green/gold.
I wore this in one coat over the CBL, Seven Seas of Rhye. What a pair!
DRK Nails Practically Perfect
a pink magnetic with iridescent flakies red/orange/green
I wore this in one coat over the Sayuri, Melt Down. I think it looks amazing over this, the magnetic flash of pink is so feminine.
Ethereal Lacquer Nymph Wings
an indigo leaning to purple base full of red to green and pink to gold shimmer with copper, pink to green iridescent color shifting flakies inspired by Mythological Creatures.

Grey is one of those shades I could wear with anything for any occasion. Such a versatile shade.
Lake House Soapery is located on Buckeye Lake in Thornville, Ohio. Their handmade soaps take inspiration from life around the lake. Debbie brings the theme, Isn't That Refreshing, to HHC as the very first soaper to join HHC.
19 Crimes Bar Soap
The soap contains skin loving ingredients: Cocoa Butter, Silk Fibers, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Palm Oil, Activated Charcoal & Wine. Tops of the soaps are sprinkled with: Skin safe glitter and Black Himalayan Sea Salts
Scented with Merlot fragrance.
13 bar cap
The packaging is so cute! The soap rests inside a kraftboard box, tied with a black satin ribbon and then placed in a draw string loot bag!
It's a generously sized bar with a beautiful drop swirl design. The bar is smooth to the touch and has an almost buttery feel. Lathers nicely when used and smells crisp and like a fresh/clean, bright fruit. I was surprised by the scent, and enjoyed it thoroughly in this morning's shower. If you love cold processed handmade bar soap, grab this treat while you can. Super limited.
I may have needed to
drink uncork the wine to see which crime was on the cork! Mine had #13 Assaulting, cutting or burning clothes.
Lollipop Posse Lacquer Daughter of a Knife-Maker
a black crelly base filled with pink/red Aurora shimmer, scattered holographic pigment, holographic microflakes, blue fantasy flakes, and color-shifting iridescent flakes inspired by The Magicians.
No Cap
The shade leans more of a gunmetal or soft black on me and is packed with a punch of sparkle!
Mckfresh Nail Attire Instinct
a thermal inspired by team Instinct from Pokemon Go. Bright buttery yellow which has a slow transition to black and is packed full of gold, black and iridescent glitters & flakies. Remaining yellow most of the time, this will become black in colder temperatures.
40 bottle cap
On me, the warm shade is near chartreuse and the cold shade is more of a dark forest green. Quite a unique thermal color range!
Ms Sparkle Polly Pocket
a pink crelly with aqua sparks, holo micro flakies, chameleon glitters, iridescent flakies, turquoise holo glittermix inspired by vintage toys.
No cap
Oh my gosh, I loved Polly Pocket when I was little. I had one that lived in an Oreo cookie shaped house/case!

What a stunning multichrome! I love the pink flash in this.

a creamy holographic vanilla bean base with a shimmery violet-fig shift inspired by Ice Cream.

Now I am craving ice cream! I used this as the base for the DRK magnetic topper as well.
77 Nail Lacquer Riot Grrrl
a bright periwinkle creme base with blue/purple/red shifting pigment, red shimmer and rose pink sparks.
Inspired by female rocker, Kathleen Hanna, of former Riot Grrrl band Bikini Kill.
50 bottle cap
Such a beautiful vibrant periwinkle shade and that shimmer keeps you guessing at what color this polish really is!
I stamped over with a bright pink from MDU and a funky geometric design.
Turtle Tootsie Polishes George

Under A Hula Moon Don't Stop Me Now
lemon, satsuma, yuzu, and sugary musk blended with ocean and marine notes to mellow it all out.
No cap
Bright and fresh, this fruity wax melt will fill your home with cheer! Very strongly scented, I think the gals must have been joking when they called this mellow. :)
All the polishes are shown in two coats and have good formulas unless otherwise noted above. What will you be picking up at HHC this month?
