Hella Handmade Creations: August 2026

PR Sample

Welcome back! Today I am sharing a closer look at some gorgeous new indie nail polish and beauty launches contributing to this month's Hella Handmade Creations shop. The pre-order window is right around the corner on the 14th, and I have a great mix of items to show you. We are looking at stunning new swatches featuring everything from shifty multichrome nail polish shades to Lavish body care.

Remember that HHC operates as a limited sale period, meaning once the shop closes on the 22nd, these items are gone unless they make a future appearance in an encore event.

Let's dive right into the swatches and scent breakdowns so you can finalize your wish list before the countdown begins.




This Wine Is AWFUL! Get Me Another Glass - Black to red multichrome with a kiss of holo pigment




We All Float Down Here - Blue(more blurple) to black multichrome with scattered holo microflakes




The Ancient Ritual Persists - buildable periwinkle base that shifts from blue to violet with silver magnetic pull




Dead Gorgeous is described as a wine base with purple to red to gold multichrome shimmer and reflective glitter.




Schmidt Happens is described as a magenta base with a subtle pink to red to gold multichrome shimmer.




Sunset Sorcery - A solar polish that is a bright marigold yellow indoors and raspberry outside, with transition shades in orange tones. A pink/peach/golden shimmer runs throughout with UCC flakies and ghost flakies. Cap: 150.




Vibrant Vows - A royal navy base with indigo undertones paired with an intense shimmer ranging through purple, pink, and red. (Side note - may stain). Cap: 300.




Lavish BOUQUET TOSS - A bold, modern floral with glowing petals & catching neon light after dark. Anjou pear, lychee nectar and juicy citrus, pink petals mingle with sweet vanilla blossom, bottom notes of sugared praline, sandalwood and coral musk.




Tincture Duo:

All of my swatches are shown in two thick coats with topcoat and had no formula issues unless otherwise stated. All photography uses a neutral color temperature bulb with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.
