Hella Handmade Creations: December

Press Sample

You guys...This month's HHCs are ALL amazing, stunnning, brilliant, and beautiful. Each brand has completely knocked it out of the park. Each time I swatched a polish, I wanted to stop right there and wear it for a day or more. You need all of these.

I usually present the polishes on my blog in alphabetical order, but decided to change it up this month and reverse it!



Under A Hula Moon We Are The Champions wax melt
begins with notes of fresh cut roses joined with sea salt, sea moss, vetiver and notes of ambered musk to create a luxurious spa-like scent inspired by Queen.
No cap

Very fresh and clean, slightly floral. It reminds me a bit of a plumeria flower's scent although it has no plumeria fragrance in it.





Turtle Tootsie Polish Don't Play Innocent With Me
a dark grape jelly polish with shifting aurora pigment and green sparks inspired by Marvel.
No cap

Super vibrant and juicy looking! The green shift is apparent under different light sources - I love this polish!






Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer Paranoid & Complicated
inspired by the song "I think I'm Paranoid" and Shirley Manson of Garbage. Described as a slightly deepened turquoise creme base with clear holo pigment and pinky red shimmer.
50 bottle cap

The shimmer in this shifts and sparkles as your fingers move! Beautiful shade of teal.







Sayuri Nail Lacquer Revive The Eternal Light
an earthy brown holographic polish with a strong olive green metallic overlay inspired by Studio Ghibli.
65 bottle cap

Tricksy, yes! I love how this one's base shade looks reddish sometimes and brown sometimes, while the green shimmer is strong all the time.






Rogue Lacquer Dressed Like A Bat, I Dig It
a creamy black holo with micro holo gold glitter and gold shimmer flecks inspired by The Justice League.
100 bottle cap

Beautifully done black holo polish with a gold sheen, every element in this polish is seen and not muddied by the base. How did she do it!?






Native War Paints Fun and Games
inspired by the game of Snow Snake
It is a white crelly with neon green glitter, blue and red micro glitter, gold, green, red, blue and violet flakes, cyan-blue-red shifting shimmer and a touch of holo.
200 bottle cap.

This polish takes me back to when crellies were new and super popular, a classic with an upgrade of shimmer and flake.






My Indie Polish's Yet One More Cremated Turkey
inspired by Shameless
mauve Crelly with colour changing flakies and copper holo glitters with a touch of red shimmer.
75 bottle cap

I really enjoyed wearing this shade, and when I added nailart I loved it even more. It was tough to convince myself to take this polish off.





Stamped with Moonflower Selene in a cherry blossom pattern.




Ms Sparkle's The Magic Wand
a blue crelly with a yellow micro flakies, gold shimmer and aurora pigments, holo sparkles and ucc flakies inspired by Vintage Toys.
No cap

A very vibrant blue with shimmer and sparkle.






Lollipop Posse Lacquer Top Witch in New York
oxblood crelly base packed with pink/red shifting shimmer, red/gold holographic flakes, and scattered holographic pigment inspired by The Magicians.
No cap

I love vampy shades and this one is a black cherry shade packed with flakes!






Illyrian Polish So Shall It Be
a dark blue gray tinted base packed with holo sparkles, copper shimmer, red/green aurora shimmer and iridescent flakes in pink/gold & green/pink inspired by The Craft.
No cap

Done in true Illyrian style, this flake is all that and a party of sparkles!






Heather's Hues Drink the Kind of Hot Cocoa That's Wine
a dark gray to dove gray thermal with indigo-blue-violet aurora shimmer, holo microflakes, pink-violet-blue-gold UCC flakes, and red and green holo microglitters inspired by Bob's Burgers.
100 bottle cap

I have a thing for grey polish and this one is TWO grey polishes in one! Yes, please.






Ethereal Lacquer Mystical
inspired by Unicorns
a rich indigo jelly full of chameleon iridescent flakies that shift red, copper, green, blue and bright violet, holographic sparkles and a mystical red to green shimmer.
No cap

Indigo is such a nice shade and this one is no exception. This polish checks all the boxes for me, shimmer, flake, holo, and a shade of purple.






DRK Nails Love is in the Air-Ship
inspired by Despicable Me
a periwinkle holographic with a subtle foil finish, mixed with iridescent and foil multichrome flakes (gold/orange/green/blue/magenta) and red/green shimmer.
No cap

This is what I like to call an "Aubrey" shade. Soft, light, sparkly, and shifty - it's like an iridescent unicorn horn!






Colors by Llarowe It Will Rain
a charcoal grey base filled with OG UP and scattered holo finish inspired by Bruno Mars.
No cap

Quite shifty and beautiful. It looks like I'm wearing brown or green depending on the angle of light hitting it even though it has a definite grey base. Yes, I love grey polishes and their mystery!







Chirality Polish Pandorica
a teal to blue to violet shifting holographic base color with a green to gold to teal to blue intense shimmer inspired by Dr. Who.
No cap

What color is this even! It flips and shifts and does cartwheels on your nails! (It's bigger on the inside!)
