xoxoJen's swatch of Hella Handmade Creations: April 2024


Hearts & Promises: Shaggy
The 3rd polish in their Scooby Doo inspired series.
A neon green crelly base with orange to gold shifting aurora shimmer. Shown in two coats with topcoat. I also use heavy coats when I paint, so you may need 3 to get a similar look if you typically paint thin coats.
Cap of 200

LynB Designs: Pernicious Skunk
An orange to gold shifting shimmer base with blue to purple shifting magnetic pull. Shown in two coats without topcoat. I used a thick bar magnet placed under each finger at a diagonal for the effect.

I've also noticed that across all the swatch photos from LynB's swatch team that in dim light and certain angles, sometimes the gold color appears to be a sort of avocado/limey shift. It's definitely there, it kinda shows in the bottle on my macro shot. I failed to capture that aspect well in my swatch photos and thought I'd mention it. Be sure to browse the photos in all the groups too so you can see it!

KBShimmer: What A Peach
There aren't many video games with theme songs that live rent-free in Christy's head. When two plumber brothers introduced her to a world full of coins, mushrooms, and turtle-like creatures, the Ground Theme became the anthem for saving her peachy princess.

What A Peach is a bubblegum pink microflake nail polish perfect for saving peachy princesses. The fun pink hue quickly flips to show off a yellow-gold color with subtle hints of peach. Shown in two coats with topcoat.

KBshimmer Citrus Explosion Scrub
When gaming, keeping your energy up will help you battle through long campaigns and marathon sessions. Citrus-flavored soda and energy drinks become a lifeline as the hours grow long. Hits of caffeine flavored with orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit are a tasty way to power through.

Inspired by energy drinks, Citrus Explosion Hand & Body Scrub is a dazzling medley. A hint of sweetness with bursts of tart notes mimic freshly zested citrus rind for a bright and summery scent. The creamy-colored base is swirled with lime, orange, yellow, and pink hues for a fun scrub you will want to use daily.

WARM WEATHER NOTE: During warmer weather, the oils can separate and settle in the jar; this will not harm your scrub. Just stir before using to combine any oils that settle on top. Scrubs are packed by weight, not volume.

Hearts & Promises: Royal Pain In The Butt
Inspired by the game ‘Royal Match’ which is advertised heavily on mobile phone games.
A violet base with gold shimmer and flakes, shown in two coats with topcoat.
Cap of 200

Drunk Fairy: Crimson Claus

Welp, I am in a bit of disbelief ya'll. I love berry shades and I don't wear a lot of red, and this polish reads red most of the time. Plus the shimmer is stunning. I just might reach for it a heap. If you feel the same way, hop on over and getcha one at Drunk Fairy Polish.


Crimson Claus is a saturated berry jelly base with an aurora shimmer from gold to green to blue over a background of red sparkly holo and a tiny bit of gold reflective holo.
Shown in two coats with Glasswing Glaze topcoat, also from Drunk Fairy.

Drunk Fairy: Blurple Banshee

If you don't have it, you probably need it! Especially if you love purple shifty polishes. Head on over to Drunk Fairy Polish and grab yours!!
or...wail til the next launch on the 30th and get some new stuff too! Also, don't forget to use the code fairyspring for 15% off your entire order! (single use, never expires)

Blurple Banshee is an admiral blue jelly with an aurora shift from pink to purple to gold to green. Has a small amount of very tiny reflective gold holo.
Shown in two coats with topcoat and although I can see VNL I kinda love it this way. Slightly sheer to me is like wearing a sheer veil on your wedding day, classic, sexy, and special! It's also not visible at certain angles and lighting cause that shimmer just takes over! Look closely at the dim-lit photo and you will see two shifts there in addition to the more prominent pink shift that's in the other photos.

Alchemy Lacquer: Sea Jellies (GITD - Limited Edition)

Alchemy Lacquers has a limited edition nail lacquer that will be available from Saturday, March 9th (at 7pm eastern) through Sunday, March 31st and is a custom polish for the Facebook Group: We All Glow. If you join the group, you can use the group custom code for a discount!



Sea Jellies is a sky blue jelly nail lacquer with pink to orange to gold shifting shimmer that also glows-in-the dark (blue). As this is a glow-in-the-dark polish, it will dry to a matte finish.

I love the vibe of this polish and I think that she nailed the inspiration photo! Photos shown with glossy topcoat, no topcoat, and glow in the dark effect. Two coats worn for photos.

KBShimmer: Sea-ing Is Believing Collection

The ocean and sea have long been sources of inspiration. For some, the blue waters inspire tales of fantastical creatures like mermaids and sirens wreaking havoc on those who set sail. Other sea-inspired souls may be tempted to brave the waters by diving below and seeking shipwrecks full of lost riches. Inspiration can even be found ashore, where vacationers prefer to explore the sandy beaches to find stunning shells or sip fruity drinks under the warm sun. This March, let KBShimmer take you on a trip with nine sea-themed nail polishes.

Launching on March 8th, 2024, the Sea-ing Is Believing collection will be available at KBShimmer.com and other online stockists.

xoxoJen's swatch of KBShimmer Sea-ing Is Believing Collection


Current Affair
A vibrant, Caribbean blue nail polish. An ultramarine blue base quickly flips to show off aqua hues. A scatering of holo glow flakes offers a subtle pop of sparkle like waves upon the shore. At some angles, hints of cobalt and turquoise appear. Two coats shown with Clearly On Top topcoat.

Super Star
A fun nail polish topper loaded with small sea star-shaped silver holographic gliters swimming within a shimmery green to purple base. Small holographic hex gliters in pink, blue, purple, and silver float within the base like fish in the sea. Shown in one coat followed by Smooth Moves and Clearly On Top.

Dressed To Kill
A vibrant shifting fuchsia nail polish inspired by crustacean-colored swimsuits. A warm pink-leaning red base amps up the fuchsia-to-violet shimmer in this lacquer. Is it pink or coral? Only you and the light around you will know for sure! Shown in two coats with Clearly On Top topcoat.

Shell We?
A soft beige reflective shade with a copper-rust-gold shifting shimmer. Shown with flash in the fifth and sixth photos which bring out more sparkle and a sort of rose tint. I wore two coats with Smooth Moves and Clearly On Top, for a high gloss and smooth finish. The reflective pigment is finer than previous and I found it removed much more easily, leaving everything clean.

Get Off My Tail
A mermaid-inspired shimmering nail polish with magical color flips. A bold grape base contrasts a sea green hue that quickly flips to shades of teal, blue, and indigo. This vibrant polish is accented by glowing holo flakes, mimicking the sparkling scales of mermaid tails. My favorite of the bunch, this mystical shade is shown in two coats.

Isle Be There
A teal-leaning cerulean blue jelly nail polish. Loaded with a mix of color-shifting flakes, the jelly base comes alive with shades of golden yellow, sea green, aqua, and teal blue. Two coats shown for a swimmingly good manicure.

Seaing Is Believing
A pale lavender microflake nail polish with incredible prismatic shift. This gleaming shade has a rosy-pink color that quickly transforms to peach and gold with a change in lighting or viewing angle. In some lighting, aqua and purple will pop from the flakes against the purple base. Shown in two coats with Clearly On Top.

What A Pearl Wants
A white iridescent microflake nail polish. The multifaceted shade can be layered to add an opalescent shimmer to any manicure. Two coats shown alone for a uniquely colorful manicure showing off a rainbow of hues in pink, gold, green, and copper. Over some shades, you may catch hints of blue.

It Comes In Waves
A true mint green cream nail polish with aqua undertones. This Caribbean water-inspired shade covers farily well in one coat, though I used two coats to ensure even coverage and then followed it with Clearly On Top.
