Rogue Lacquer S’more Spooky Stories
a rich purple with holo flake and color shifting flakes.
This one is a morpher when topcoat is applied and is intended to be that way. It is super glowy, and I prefer it with topcoat as shown in the first four images.
Use a good base coat and/or double up on it if you wear enhancements, as it does stain enhancements but does not stain natural nails.

All polishes are shown in two coats with topcoat unless otherwise specified; formulas were good and easy to apply.

The only way to receive the trios is to win them in the HHC giveaways. When the giveaway concludes Oct. 31, HHC may bring the polishes back for pre-order if there is enough interest.
Please note: in order to become a member of the Afterparty group, HHC requires memebership in the Hella Handmade Creations group.

Nevermind Suncrusher Collab: October 2 Release

NeVermind Apothecary is doing a special collaboration with a band! You can check out the band's IG @svncrvsher. The polish colors are inspired by their singles and release in conjunction with them over a few months. The fifth and final polish releases on October 2 at Nevermind Apothecary's website.

Imminent Danger
A white crelly with red glitter, red holo flakes, and black shreds
Shown in two coats with topcoat, this polish reminds me of SO many Halloween themes! I've got fall on my mind, ya'll.

Launching along with this polish are four new nail essentials!
Left to right: Creamy (a creamy base), Clingy (a sticky base), Gleaming (a glossy topcoat), and Swift (a quick dry topcoat).

I've tried the Creamy base and the two topcoats, which I love! I used them all on a mani on September the 18. I put down the Creamy base, two coats of polish, the Gleaming glossy top and then the Swift quick dry topcoat. Other than normal tipwear and a small corner of my thumbnail chipping, no other chips after 11 days! This stuff is good.

Below is a recap of the whole collection available now at Nevermind Apothecary's website!

KBShimmer Rise Up
Starts with a dusty blue crelly base and then is loaded with metallic flakes that shift from a red, orange, gold, and at some angles green.
Inspired by a mythical phoenix soaring through an early evening sky
No cap

When Christy says this is loaded with flakes, she is not playing around. Shown in two coats with topcoat. Note: The first coat was very sheer and there are so many flakes I only needed two coats for this look. When I polish, I don't use thin coats, so ymmv.

KBShimmer Under the Sea scrub
A blend of frozen drink and tropical island where mermaids spend their time on land. Fruity, sweet, and succulent notes of watermelon, cantaloupe, and pure sugarcane; blooms of lilies and orchids with salty ocean breezes and pure white sand combine to make this fragrance. The scrub is boldly colored with swirled hues of purple, pink, and aqua, with a hint of pink biodegradable glitter on top. The jar features a heat-sealed lid for leak-proof transit.
Inspired by Christy's interest in mermaids.

Lynb Meowlogical
Inspired by the mythical and fabulous caticorn
A medium grey toned purple base with intense pink to orange to green shifting shimmer and scattered holo sparkle.
No cap

Such a pretty base shade of lavender and the shift is strong! I think my bright lighting blows it out a little bit, definitely there in lower lighting situations as shown in the third image.

Nevermind Flayer of Minds
A creamy grey base with red and purple duochrome color shift
Cap: 200
Inspiration: D&D Mind Flayer

Such a stunner! I love a good purple/grey combo and this one is amazingly gorgeous! The shimmer is so easily noticable shifting between a purpley hue and a fuchsia.
