Hella Handmade Creations: December

You guys...This month's HHCs are ALL amazing, stunnning, brilliant, and beautiful. Each brand has completely knocked it out of the park. Each time I swatched a polish, I wanted to stop right there and wear it for a day or more. You need all of these.

I usually present the polishes on my blog in alphabetical order, but decided to change it up this month and reverse it!

xoxoJen's swatch of Hella Handmade Creations: December

Under A Hula Moon We Are The Champions wax melt
begins with notes of fresh cut roses joined with sea salt, sea moss, vetiver and notes of ambered musk to create a luxurious spa-like scent inspired by Queen.
No cap

Very fresh and clean, slightly floral. It reminds me a bit of a plumeria flower's scent although it has no plumeria fragrance in it.

Sayuri Nail Lacquer Revive The Eternal Light
an earthy brown holographic polish with a strong olive green metallic overlay inspired by Studio Ghibli.

Tricksy, yes! I love how this one's base shade looks reddish sometimes and brown sometimes, while the green shimmer is strong all the time.

Rogue Lacquer Dressed Like A Bat, I Dig It
a creamy black holo with micro holo gold glitter and gold shimmer flecks inspired by The Justice League.
100 bottle cap

Beautifully done black holo polish with a gold sheen, every element in this polish is seen and not muddied by the base. How did she do it!?

inspired by the game of Snow Snake
It is a white crelly with neon green glitter, blue and red micro glitter, gold, green, red, blue and violet flakes, cyan-blue-red shifting shimmer and a touch of holo.

This polish takes me back to when crellies were new and super popular, a classic with an upgrade of shimmer and flake.

This is what I like to call an "Aubrey" shade. Soft, light, sparkly, and shifty - it's like an iridescent unicorn horn!
