1850 Artisan: Corfu for HHC

PR Sample

I have an HHC polish from 1850 Artisan to share with you this month. This along with many others launch on Jan 14th at 12:01am EST to 21st at 11:59pm Hawaiian time at hellahandmadecreations.com

Corfu is inspired by the beautiful waters of the island the Durrel family loved in the Masterpiece show The Durrels in Corfu. Corfu is a turquoise shimmer that has holographic microflakes, is softened by a copper shimmer, and is topped with a pink highlight.
No Cap

The polish is shown in two sparkly shifting coats along with 1850's Fast Track topcoat. Application was smooth and breezy just like the air over the Mediterranean waters!

Polish Pickup: Birthstones, Gems, & Minerals

PR Sample

The theme this month for Polish Pickup is Birthstones, Gems, & Minerals! Launching Jan 1 at 10a Central through 4, 11p Central. A lot of brands have offerings this month, and I have some of them to show you!




1850 Artisan Periwinkle Sapphire
Tri-thermal that transitions from light periwinkle blue when warm to blue when cool and purple when cold. Filled with pink to gold multichrome shimmer, fuchsia to purple and gold mini microflakes, and tightly packed scattered holographic shimmer.
No cap

Shown is two coats with topcoat. I enjoyed watching this polish shift between shades as I wore it. There was one point where my nails looked like a light to dark blue gradient! With this polish I wore the 1850 Fast Track topcoat and experienced no chipping by day 7 removal. If you're looking for a topcoat, try hers out!




KBShimmer Rose Glow
A blend of small and micro holographic glitters in pale pink, warm rose, soft blush, and gleaming gold mixed together create a rose gold polish with heaps of sparkle. The shade of polish is said to compliment many skin tones.
No cap

Shown is three coats with gelous and quick dry topcoat. Super duper sparkly! I have totally missed this type of blingy glitter polish.




KBShimmer Feeling a Little Salty sugar scrub
The scent has top notes of salty sea spray, middle notes of ozone and fresh rain with subtle lily of the valley and jasmine and base notes of greens, pine, and musk.
No cap

I found this sent to be very much a water scent, soft and rounded. Not heady or strong but calming. I have found KBShimmer's scrubs to be very consistent in how they work and feel - moisturizing and softening after use.




Nevermind Imperial Jasper
A deep magenta with speckled blue shimmer and goldo holographic glitters.
Inspired by the stone of the same name. *comes with standard brush, wide brushes can be purchased separately.
US cap: 250
UK cap: 20

Shown in two coats with topcoat. I absolutely love a dark syrupy berry shade like this! The blue shimmer and glitters are yummy and add depth.




The Soapy Chef Rose Quartz Resin Trinket Dish
Designed to look like natural stone, this resin dish includes a cluster of real rose quartz stones. The dish has four rubbery feet to prevent scratching surfaces when moved. Use the dish as a coaster, soap dish, or any trinkets you like! Each handmade dish is unique and one of a kind.

Such a pretty dish and very well made! I love the little see through areas around the edge and that gold design in there is gorg!

1850 Artisan: Comeback Collection

PR Sample

The Comeback Collection debuts on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 at the 1850 Artisan website. This collection is packed with a variety of shades and finishes, there's something for everyone here!




Ambitious
A forest jelly base with red-gold shifting shimmer and gold shimmer.
Shown matte in second photo. The red shift appears coppery to my eye and is predominant in most lighting, and then it shifts to green and wowza, look at how vibrant that green is!



Blue Skies Ahead
A subtle blue to teal multichrome with the added sparkle of holographic microflakes and a sprinkling of rose gold-fuchsia-green shifting multichrome flakes.
Shown matte in second photo.




Endless Possibilities
A royal purple jelly base with red-green shifting shimmer and copper shimmer.
Shown matte in second photo and the green shift is shown in the fourth photo.




Happy Accident
A deep indigo jelly packed with linear holographic shimmer. This color grew out of a mistake, so it is a limited edition that will not be restocked.
It looks great worn in one coat over black or white cream as well. Do not sleep on this one, ya'll. It's one of those dark mysterious kind of holos that sneak up and then bam! in the sun there it is!




Optimistic
A raspberry pink-red multichrome base with stunning pink-gold microglitter and gold shimmer.
Shown matte in second photo.




Persistence
A bronze-leaning burgundy with a multitude of multichrome pink-green-gold and fuchsia pink-gold microflake shimmers.
Shown matte in second photo.



All polishes are shown in two coats with topcoat and all but Happy Accident are shown with a matte topcoat as well. The formula for all of these was good. Persistence was slightly thicker than the other shades but I had no issues applying it. What will you be picking up from this collection?!

This festive shade is perfect for the holidays.
