I’m really early this month somehow… guess having a snow day last week helped me get a head just a smidge. Tonight I’m showing you the items I received for the Hella Handmade Creations March 2022 shop!
This month I have 20 items to share!
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.
I do use artificial lighting for my photos. I get the most done at night, so I swatch a lot at night. My current setup uses GlamCor Pro LIghts and I use the Ultra X Model and this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link).
Let’s jump on in, these all release March 14th at 12:01am.
Atomic Polish | Mayonegg
**Paid PR**
Theme: Arrested Development
Description: Mayonegg is a milky white crelly base loaded with 3 different sizes of holographic pigment, as well as shimmer that shifts from gold to green. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Due to the 3 different holographic pigments, the base of this polish is more of a light-medium grey base instead of the initial white it started as.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: None

Theme: Beautiful Birds from Around the World
Description: Something to Squawk About is a slightly pink berry tinged red jelly base loaded wtih holo and blue shifting flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
It looks like reflective glitters are also present in this, but it’s not specified in the official description – but you can see the sparkle in the flash – so I wanted to mention it.

I show it alone for these photos, but it can also be a topper. It does have a mild texture due to the glitters, so you might need a glitter smoothing top coat as well.

Luna Wax | Jade Wax Melt
Theme: Gem Stones
Description: Before i get started here – this scent is easily in my top 3 from Luna Wax… and I’ve been buying/reviewing for Luna Wax for a few years now.
The official scent description for Jade is: Lime Freeze, Violets, Pineapple, Apples, Melon, Grapefruit, Orange, Strawberries, Pear and Musk.
There are a lot of fruits mentioned, but to my nose – none are front and center for the wax. They all seem like backup notes to the violets and musk. The light fruit notes help take some of the floral down several notches so you are left with a smooth and almost soothing musky floral with mellow fruits. I almost detect a hint of Jasmine too, so I was a little surprised it wasn’t in the scent description.
Price: $6.00 | Cap: 75
LynBDesigns | Rhombus of Doubt
Theme:Properties of Polygons
Description: Rhombus of Doubt is a sheerer shade, so if you have a strong VNL, it will most likely show through without the use of a blurring base coat.
Rhombus of Doubt is a coppery rose gold jelly base with strong blue to teal to purple shifting shimmer and scattered holo flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: 100
MTK Designs | Heavy Metal Thunders (Thermal)
Theme:Blame it on the Moon
Description: Heavy Metal Thunders is a milky grey (hot) to purple (cold) crelly based thermal with large particle linear holo, pink to purple to blue iridescent flakes, micro electric blue ghost glitters, as well as blue to purple to pink shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: None
Night Owl Lacquer | The Right Way & Then Yours (Reflective Glitters)
Theme: Psych
Description: The Right Way & THen Yours is a clear base loaded with yellow reflective glitters, and fuchsia to orange to yellow to green shifting multichrome flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
This polish dries with a texture, so I recommend a glitter smoothing topper and glossy top coat for a smooth finish.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: None

Price: $13.00 | Cap: 150
Red Eyed Lacquer | Da Balmer in Under My Tiny Umbrella
Theme: Beach Drinks
Description: Da-Balmer 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.
The March scent is Under My Tiny Umbrella, and it’s official description is: tropical blend blood oranges, sweet pineapples, mandarin, a hint of cherry, a dash of effervescence and a hint of vanilla.
This is an incredible scent and takes you right to the beach on vacation. My nose immediately picks up the sweet pineapple, slight undertones of blood orange, and a little smooth vanilla. When you sniff it you also get that “bubbly” sensation from the effervescence scent as well.
Price: $7.50 | Cap: 50
Red Eyed Lacquer | Reptiglow (Glow In The Dark)
Theme: Bioluminescent Animals
Description: Reptiglow is a dark blurple crelly base loaded with orange to gold to green shifting shimmer and glows blurple in the dark. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Rogue Lacquer | Flotsam! Jetsam!
