Hella Handmade Creations | May 2022

Press Samples // Some Paid PR

Happy Friday once again! I’m cutting it close, but I’m here to share 20 of the May 2022 offerings for Hella Handmade Creations!

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 release in a few hours (May 14th at 12:01am)

Red Eyed Lacquer | I’ve Got The Secret Ingredient, Jellybeans! Tamesies Hair Oil

Theme: Toy Story

Description: I’ve Got The Secret Ingredient, Jellybeans! Tamesies Hair Oil is scented like… you guessed it… JELLYBEANS!

I add a few squirts into my hand, rub my palms together and scrunch the product into my damp hair after a shower. I do have long, thick but fine hair, so I do require about 4-5 pumps of product for my hair. I avoid the top of my head because my scalp tends to be oily, but the ends dry out and Tamesies has helped a ton, plus is adds a nice scent to my hair.

Price: $12.00 | Cap: 50

Red Eyed Lacquer | TRASH! (Reflective Glitter)
