Press Samples // Some Paid PR
Happy Sunday! I have my final Hella Handmade Creations post of 2022 ready to view… and a YouTube video to go along with it.
For the fine details – for all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base, and Sweet & Sour Lacquer Gloss Sauce . I purchased the Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues, Sweet & Sour Lacquer gifted me their Gloss Sauce.
This month I have 19 items to share and they are a nice wintery mix with blue being the dominating shade. Be sure to check out my YouTube video for application of all 19 items below:
My lighting set up was changed. The new lamps give a much truer to color photo with less Photoshop manipulation. So now, since I use artificial lighting due to my day job, my new set up involves 2 Neatfi XL Lamps from Amazon (affiliate link) as well as this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link).
Let’s jump right in and take a look at what stunning creations makers have this month!

I had to remove photos as I got a mislabeled bottle that was not Crisp Morning… the one in the collage is NOT correct. Please see the website for the correct polish.

Red Eyed Lacquer | Da Balm-er in Snow Cap
Theme: Weather
Description: Da Balm-er is a cross between a balm and body butter. It’s creamy like a body butter but has a more emollient feel like a balm would. It’s an intensive treatment you can use anywhere (I love it on cuticles of course) but a little goes a long way. If you use too much – it will feel very oily (like a balm would) so start with a little and build up if you need more.
“Snow Cap” Da Balm-er scented in a custom blend of cranberries and limoncello. This is a light, refreshing scent and the 2 play well together so it smells like a light, citrus berry.
Price: $9.00 | Cap: 50
