I have two HHC polishes to share with you this month, one each from 1850 Artisan and LynB Designs. These along with many others launch on Dec 14th at 12:01am EST to 21st at 11:59pm Hawaiian time at hellahandmadecreations.com

xoxoJen's swatch of HHC: December 2020


1850 Artisan Ardently
A complex shimmer combines both a multichrome base and microglitter for a spectacularly sparkly polish. The polish shifts through pinks and oranges, with hints of green and gold at the edges. The microglitters move through pinks and purples to gold.
Inspired by Mr. Darcy's profession of his ardent love for Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.
No cap

The formula is smooth and easy to apply, shown in two coats with topcoat.

LynB Designs Mayor of the Zone
A black to clear thermal with a mix of glitters in pink, white, purple, blue, and lavender with hints of holo sparkle

Much Lava To You is the holographic version of Obsidian.

Never taking this off my nails. It is so fun to watch as I walk through the house and outside, in the shade, in the sun. So. Beautiful. And if ya'll have not seen Xandria's swatch of this, get over there and look. It is EVERYTHING. (and follow her too!)
