Hella Handmade Creations: September 2025

Get ready for a new month of goodies! The Hella Handmade Creations (HHC) shop is about to open for September, and I have a preview for you. This monthly pre-order shop is your destination for limited edition polishes and so much more including stickers, wax melts, nail polish magnets, and other bath and body items. Since everything is limited, it's best to grab what you want during the pre-order period, and remember, it takes about a month to receive your goodies.

Today, I’m excited to show you four polishes and a few other products that will be available this month from LynB and Victorian Varnish. The HHC shop goes live on September 14, so get your wish lists ready! Check out the HHC shop here!

Tincture Acetone Additive Duo, blends well together!

Tropical Tea: An intricate balance of mango nectar, wild currant, bergamot tea, island breeze, key lime, passionfruit, papaya and magnolia blooms.
Berry Boba-ly: Creamy coconut with red mango and crisp apple create a juicy, refreshing opening, while sun-dried fruit adds a subtle, natural sweetness. Bright lemon and tropical pineapple bring a lively, zesty twist, and desert lily adds a soft, floral note. The smooth warmth of palm round out the fragrance, evoking the feeling of a tropical paradise drink: fruity, fresh, and perfectly balanced.
