It’s hard to believe that it was a year ago that I was typing out my New Years resolutions for 2019. I am happy to announce that not only did I learn a new craft (cross stitching), but I met my goal of eating more tacos (my pants can definitely attest to this)! I’ve been having some trouble coming up with a New Years resolution this year. Any suggestions?

Maybe I should commit to putting together my “new” Helmer that has been sitting in my hallway for like a year & finally organizing/destashing my collection…. but I’m not sure if I have enough energy in one year to even contemplate doing this.

While I think that over (and avoid the thought of going through the boxes of polish I have stack in my closet and stored under my bed, I have some gorgeous Hella Handmade Creations polish to share.

I’m super excited about this month as we have a lot of new themes and a few new brands joining the HHC family!!

How does Hella Handmade Creations work?

Each featured brand commits to participating for a minimum of 4 months. Each brand chooses their own theme and will create 1 polish per month inspired by that theme.

The are 36 brands participating in January! Here are the brands and their chosen themes.

Free Stuff, What??

Dawn and Aubrey of Hella Handmade Creations and Under a Hula Moon are continuing with their free gift with purchase promotion in January with a free full size (.15ml) bottle of Epic Top Coat for all orders over $75.

Epic is a 10 free top coat that does not contain: Toulene, Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phtalate, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, Xylene, Ethyl Tosylamide, Parabens, fragrances, or animal products.

No code needed. Just add your January polishes and the top coat will automatically be added to your order. It’s that simple!

Epic is a thicker top coat, which I actually prefer because I feel like it is easier to float over a new mani without messing up the top layer or any nail art, which can sometimes happen with some of the thinner top coats. I move pretty fast when I am swatching and I usually am too impatient to wait for the layers to fully dry before I top coat. I did notice that I got some slight wrinkling when I applied Epic to a semi wet mani, but once I slowed down and waited a bit longer between each layer, the wrinkling stopped.

Sales Information

Sale will begin on January 14th at 12:01am Eastern time.
Sale will end on January 21st 11:59pm Hawaiian time.

Polishes can be purchased at www.shophhc.com.

This is a preorder sale and the turn around time is 3-4 weeks!

I have 17 products to share with you all this month. All swatches done using Vapid Lacquer – Commitment Issues Base Coat and Under A Hula Moon Epic Top Coat (unless otherwise noted). Pictures taken in direct lighting with a natural daylight Ottlite.
