Hella Handmade Creations: June 2026

PR Sample

The June Hella Handmade Creations (HHC) shop is right around the corner, launching on June 14th! If you are new to HHC, this is a unique monthly pre-order style event where indie makers create exclusive products based on a theme they follow all year. This month, I have an incredible variety of both indie nail polish and luxurious bath and body items to share from LynB Designs, Victorian Varnish, Hula Moon, and Nirvana. Grab a cup of tea and let's dive into all the vibrant colors, intense shimmers, and blinding holo waiting for your wishlist!




I Would Be Pleased To RSVP as Pending - a vibrant turquoise polish with a glowing green shimmer and subtle golden shift. (Cap 200)




Shart Smuffle - a deep teal base filled with pink to gold to green shifting flakies and holo micro flakies. (Cap 150)




It is What it is - has a baby pink base with a pink to gold shimmer and scattered holo. (Cap 200)




Fairy Dust - sheer pinky/purple jelly base with blue/violet/pink shimmer and pink/blue micro flakes with scattered holo flakies.




Fairy Tea - A refreshing, crisp, and clean scent, calming, and light. It blends cool, watery cucumber with invigorating green tea.




Fairy Tincture - 2 Scents - A duo that pair well together!
FAIRY TEA - A refreshing, crisp, and clean scent, calming, and light. It blends cool, watery cucumber with invigorating green tea.
FAIRY OASIS - Bergamot black tea leaves mingle with fresh sea kelp with the serenity of chamomile. Delicate rose petals and jasmine drift softly on the breeze, while a warm amber glow lingers like the last rays of a golden sunset, soothing yet captivating.





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.

Hella Handmade Creations: January 2026

PR Sample

Welcome back to the blog! Today I have a stunning selection of swatches to share, featuring several different indie brands available right now through Hella Handmade Creations (HHC). If you aren't familiar with HHC, it’s a monthly shopping event where indie makers create unique products inspired by a theme of their choice.

The shop is currently open and stays live through January 21, so you have plenty of time to grab these beauties along with hundreds of other polishes, top coats, and other products from a variety of makers. It is truly a "one-stop shop" for indie lovers! In this month's lineup, I’m sharing some incredible finishes, from the glowing depth of Victorian Varnish to the flakie-filled goodness of Hula Moon. Let’s dive into the swatches and see what you need to add to your cart this month!




What Else Can We Pile On Here?! - has a gold jelly base filled with gold flakies, holo flakies, and pink to gold shimmer.




Beepy Slean - has a buildable green jelly base with silver microflakes and pink to gold to green shifting flakies.




Sunken Treasure - has a blackened wine base glimmers with flashes of blue and purple multichrome.




Living Work of Art - has a deep blue jelly base with an intense green/aqua/blue aurora shimmer with silver reflective glitters.




Mountain Tea Lavish Hand and Cuticle Cream - Brisk bergamot and mandarin pour over green tea for an alpine rush. A crystalline heart of jasmine and rose with black currant settles into clean musk and sandalwood brushed with moss.




Tincture Acetone Additive Duo

Mountain Tea - Brisk bergamot and mandarin pour over green tea for an alpine rush. A crystalline heart of jasmine and rose with black currant settles into clean musk and sandalwood brushed with moss.

Suede & Smoke - A spark of ginger zest opens the scent, sharp, clean, and quietly daring. At its heart, warm amber and supple leather mingle with the subtle spice of clove buds, creating a rich, textured warmth. The base smolders with smoked cedar, guaiacwood, and earthy patchouli, leaving behind a scent trail that’s deep, smoky, and undeniably refined.




That wraps up my look at these gorgeous HHC offerings! Whether you are hunting for a shifting multichrome, a "flakie bomb" jelly, or some high-quality hand care to get you through the winter, this month’s selection really has something for everyone.

Remember, the Hella Handmade Creations shop is only open until January 21, so make sure to get your orders in before the window closes. With hundreds of items to browse from so many incredible makers, it’s the perfect time to treat yourself to something special.
