Grace-full Nail Polish The Cat (Hella Handmade Creations March 2020) - Swatches & Review

Tuesday, 10 March 2020


And just like that it's Hella Handmade Creations time.  Seriously the days are just flying by at the moment.  Before I start rambling about how quickly time is going, let's talk about this month's shade from Grace-full Nail Polish.

The Cat is a deep purple to bronze gold duochrome linear holo with silver flakes.  This polish is stunning and the formula is fantastic.  The duochrome shift is more obvious in person than in my pictures.  I had a hard time trying to capture it.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Grace-full Nail Polish Mystery Girl (Hella Handmade Creations February 2020) - Swatches & Review

Wednesday, 12 February 2020


Hello!  Long time no see.  Don't worry I am still around.  I have been busy swatching some new collections which will be popping up on my blog soon.  Today I have something super exciting to share with you - the new Grace-full Nail Polish for Hella Handmade Creations.

Mystery Girl is a blurple base with blue-purple aurora shimmer, pink, purple and blue chrome chameleon flakes and holo flakes that catch the lights and dance on your nails.  I love, love, love this polish.  It's so pretty and it is a little more shifty in person.  The formula is great and applies evenly.  You can stop at two coats but I used three coats for my swatch.

Grace-full Nail Polish Up, Up And Away (Hella Handmade Creations November 2019) - Swatches & Review

Tuesday, 12 November 2019


Some how I have managed to have two Grace-full Nail Polish posts in a row.  I definitely didn't mean to do that.  I had planned on having an untrieds post in between but I haven't had time to paint me nails.  In fact, I have been wearing the same polish for a week now!  How times have changed - but that is life.  Anyway, today I have this month's Hella Handmade Creations from Grace-full Nail Polish to share with you.

Up, Up And Away is a red linear holo with ultra chrome chameleon flakies in blue/violet/teal.  This polish is inspired by Superman.  I'm not a big fan of reds so this one isn't a favourite of mine but it definitely suits the inspiration.  The formula is fantastic and applies evenly.  I used three coats for my swatch but you can stop at two coats.

Grace-full Nail Polish Beware My Power (Hella Handmade Creations September 2019) - Swatches & Review

Saturday, 14 September 2019


Can you believe that we are nearly half way through September?  This month in particular is going ridiculously quick!  Now given we are about half way through it means that it is Hella Handmade Creations time again, and like previous months I have Grace-full Nail Polish's contribution to share with you.

Beware My Power is a triphase thermal in light green, medium green and dark green in a linear holo base with gold shimmer throughout.  The formula of this one is great and applies evenly.  It also transitions well through the green tones.  For my swatch I used two coats, but I did find it a little see through at the tips especially in the lightest shade so I question if I need a third coat.

Grace-full Nail Polish Orin (Hella Handmade Creations August 2019) - Swatches & Review

Monday, 12 August 2019


Hello!  I feel like it has been ages since I sat down to blog.  But I am back with a polish that I actually swatched what feels like forever ago.  That is definitely one of the "downsides" to blogging - swatching things and then not being able to share them right away.  Especially when they are as gorgeous as this month's Hella Handmade Creations polish from Grace-full Nail Polish.

Orin is a deep rich blue linear holo with green-blue aurora shimmer.  It shifts to a greeny blue in some lights.  I love this polish!  The colour is absolutely gorgeous and the formula is amazing.  You could easily stop at one coat, but I did use two coats for my swatch.

Grace-full Nail Polish Mrs Arrow (Hella Handmade Creations June 2019) - Swatches & Review

Wednesday, 12 June 2019


My days of the week are really mixed up this week.  We had a pubic holiday on Monday is it has thrown me out completely.  Ahh!  Anyway, luckily I know that it's nearly Hella Handmade Creations time again and I have the newest polish from Grace-full Nail Polish to share with you.

Mrs Arrow is a fuchsia jelly with crystal chameleon flakes and holo flakes.  How stunning is this polish?  This is one of those polishes that I could could wear for ages.  The colour is gorgeous!  And those flakies!  So in love.  The formula is great and easy to use.  My swatch shows three coats.

Grace-full Nail Polish Starfire (Hella Handmade Creations May 2019) - Swatches & Review

Sunday, 12 May 2019


It's Hella Handmade Creations time again and this month Grace-full Nail Polish have knocked it out off the park with their contribution!  But don't just take my word for it.  Let me show you!

Starfire is a linear holo that is right on the end of being red and/or pink and is packed with aurora shimmer.  I absolutely love this polish!  The colour is gorgeous and the formula is amazing and applies like a dream.  Now I should point out that this polish is a little camera shy.  It is even more stunning in person than in pictures.  My swatch shows two coats.

Grace-full Nail Polish Little Green One (Hella Handmade Creations April 2019) - Swatches & Review

Friday, 12 April 2019


Attention all green lovers: I have the polish for you!  Grace-full Nail Polish have signed up again to Hella Handmade Creations and are bringing you the ultimate green polish inspired by Beast Boy DC Titans.

Little Green One is a Kelly green linear holo with green-orange iridescent glitter.  This is such a simple but effective polish.  The formula is easy to use and it applies evenly.  While I am sure most people will stop at two coats, I used three coats for my swatch because I found this polish to be a little see through at tips in direct light.

Grace-full Nail Polish Mistress Of Magic (Hella Handmade Creations March 2019) - Swatches & Review

Wednesday, 13 March 2019


I'm interrupting this week's Digit-al Dozen posts with this month's Hella Handmade Creations polish by Grace-full Nail Polish.  Woohoo!  And this is a gorgeous polish so it is well worth the interruption!

Mistress Of Magic is a deep vibrant sapphire blue linear holo with aurora shimmer in blue-purple and is inspired by DC Raven.  I think that this is a really stunning colour and the formula is awesome.  My swatch shows two coats.

Grace-full Nail Polish Hella Handmade Creations February 2019 - Swatches & Review

Wednesday, 13 February 2019


We are taking a slight break from the Digit-al Dozen Does Texture (never fear - my next post will happen tomorrow and then go through until Saturday) but it is Hella Handmade Creation time again!  Given these polishes are only available for a limited time I figured it was more important to get this post up instead of continue on with the Digit-al Dozen posts.  Anyway, let's take a look at this month's polish from Grace-full Nail Polish.

Songbird Siren is a silver holo with strong teal green aurora shimmer that gives off teal/green flashes.  OMG!  I'm seriously in love with this one.  It's soooooo stunning and so interesting to look at.  I'm not entirely sure if my pictures to this polish justice.  The formula is easy to use and applies evenly.  I did find it a little on the sheer side so I used three coats for my swatch.

This polish will definitely be making it's way to my monthly favourites.  I do wish that I did some nail art with this one, but I honestly couldn't decide what to do with it so I kinda skipped over doing anything.   What nail art would you have done?

Songbird Siren will be available for presale on February 14th until February 21st from Hella Handmade Creations. This polish is capped to 80 bottles so put it at the top of your list and grab it ASAP.
