HHC January: Great Lakes Lacquer

Hella Holo Customs featured guests for January are Great Lakes Lacquer and Pahlish. They've both made beautiful polishes which are available January 14 through the end of the month to HHC Members only. You'll need to join the facebook group to get the sale link.

The polishes are not yet named, so they have generic references. I will edit in the names when they've been selected. :)

From Darkness Comes Light
A green leaning teal linear holographic with gold to bronze multichrome flake and shimmer that shifts from blue to purple.
Such a rich shade with so many facets of color! Two coats.

So Sweet And So Cold
A light lilac based linear holographic boldened by holo micro flake and brightened with blue, purple, aqua, and green shimmer.
It has such a glowy sheen to it and a sort of calming effect. Two Coats.

Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of
A light icy blue linear holographic enriched with shifting shimmer that hits pink, orange, and gold.
Does this polish lean more pink, purple, blue, orange? I don't know, it's all the things! Two coats.

And I wanted to test whether this could be used as a topper and I am happy to report: Yes! It makes a great topper! Seen here in one coat over Literary Lacquers Grin Without a Cat.

Oh, paradise in a bottle. That's what this is. Two coats.

And a quick group bottle shot to wrap up!



All of these HHC polishes are absolutely beautiful and it's good to see Great Lakes Lacquer back again. My favorites in this collection are The Rush Of Brightness because of its fiery flakes and Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of because of its versatility. It's simply beautiful on its own or over another polish. The formula on each of these was fantastic!

I created a separate post to feature the HHCs by Pahlish. Since there are so many images to share this month, I thought it best to split them up.
