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 May with a free full size (.15ml) bottle of Gnarly Artistic Top Coat for all orders over $75.
Gnarly was named because of it’s meaning “awesome”. This top coat is specially formulated to be used on top of airbushed nail art.
No code needed. Just add your May polishes, totaling $75, and the top coat will automatically be added to your order. It’s that simple!
I will start out by saying that after I used Gnarly for my first swatch, it immediately jumped to the top of my favorite top coat list. I don’t do any airbrushing, so I can’t speak to how it works for that aspect, but to use for polish and with other nail art, I was blown away. It is the top coat trifecta – quick dry (I’m talking SUPER fast), high shine, and no shrinkage. In the time that it takes me to walk from my bedroom to my photograph room across the house, Gnarly was dry and I could easily touch my nails with no issues. I plan on using it this weekend for more swatching, so I will put it through the bathroom test, the digging through the freezer for an ice cream cone test, and possibly the testing out my new sewing machine test.
