Each polish is shown in two coats with KBShimmer Clearly on Top topcoat. Formulas for each were smooth and easy to apply. Which HHCs will you be picking up Saturday?

Ever After: Golden Afternoon

Press Sample

Ever After's Golden Afternoon spring collection is a quad of varying finishes, so there is something for everyone! The collection launches April 8th, 4pm CDT at the Ever After shop. Rachel is also stocking earrings, water slide decals and heaps of crelly on the launch day.



As always the polish color descriptions are provided to me by the brand so that each polish is accurately described. My comments are underneath.

Bread & Butterflies - Peach Crelly base with scattered holo and ucc flakes
I wore two coats with topcoat. The polish has a smooth glossy finish on its own and it has a nice fluid formula.





Don't Wake Me in the Morning Glory - purple Crelly base with opal and iridescent glitters in various sizes with a navy blue microflake
I wore three coats and touched up a few spots where I had painted unevenly. The polish has a fairly smooth and crelly like finish with an easy to apply formula, no issues to report.




Month of June - seafoam green/blue with ucc flakes, scattered holo and blue to green shifting shimmer
I wore two coats with topcoat. The polish has a smooth glossy finish on its own and has a fluid formula.




Lazy Daisies - white Crelly base with gold and platinum flakes and scattered holo
I wore two coats with topcoat. The polish has a smooth glossy finish on its own and it has a nice fluid formula.

Literary Lacquers: HHC Polishes

Press Sample

HHC is Hella Holo Customs, which is a secret group on facebook that invites various brands to make custom polishes for the group. The polishes are exclusive to the group, so you must be a member to purchase them.
These are the three polishes made by Literary Lacquers for the group, and I think she did a fantastic job. Each of them unusual and stunning.

Wherever Is Your Heart - Magenta-purple linear holo with aqua shimmer.
The name is from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
I was absolutely wowed by this polish when I unwrapped the bottle and even more so after applying it. It's such an electric color and the flakies just flash like a disco ball! I'm completely over the moon with this polish! Two coats for opacity and a perfect formula.





There Is Your Treasure - Periwinkle linear holo with pink shimmer and flakies.
The name is from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
Such a beautifully done perwinkle! You may be thinking there are similar shades to this out there, but they are lacking the sparkly flakies this one has! Opaque in two easy coats.





For the Rest of Us - Cranberry chrome linear holo, part of the Festivus for the Rest of Us duo with Nvr Enuff polish.
I love the teeny tiny micro glitter in this, unusual for sure. I wore two coats, but this polish is more opaque than most LitLaq holos. If care is taken, I think this could be a one coater.





I used a matte topcoat and then stamped the snowflakes from plate MR-02 - and this polish is STILL holo! o.o
