Today I have part 2 of my May HHC pre-order swatches to share! In case you missed the announcement in part 1 of my swatches, I have an announcement regarding my involvement with Hella Handmade Creations. This will be my final month as a full-time swatcher with HHC as I no longer have time to fit the swatching into my schedule. I will miss getting to share the unique shades that the makers of HHC create every month, but unfortunately my schedule will no longer allow for me to continue with this amount of swatching. Thank you to each and every one of you who have read my HHC posts for the past ten months!
New to Hella Handmade Creations? Every month, HHC offers exclusive polishes from your favorite indie nail polish brands during a week-long pre-sale. The May pre-sale will be open from May 14th at 12:01 AM EST until May 21 at 11:59 PM Hawaiian on Hella Handmade Creations’ website. You can buy as many polishes as you want during the pre-sale. Each brand participating in HHC has picked their own theme to create specially inspired polishes.
