Happy Tuesday! That’s right – this isn’t going up within an hour of the Hella Handmade Creations shop opening… I got it done a few days early! Today we’re going to look at 20 of the offerings in Hella Handmade Creations May 2023 shop!
This month brings us a great assortment of color!
If you want to check these items being swatched on YouTube, check out my channel below:
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.
For my lighting setup, since I use artificial lighting due to my day job, involves 2 Neatfi XL Lamps from Amazon (affiliate link) as well as this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link).
And lastly – I do use artificial gel nails that I do myself at home. In this post (and video) I am using Apres Gel X Nails in Extra Short Stiletto.

Red Eyed Lacquer | Tamesies in Lounging Lily (Paid PR)
Theme: Birth Flowers
Description: When I use Tamesies in my hair, 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, curly 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. This can also be used on the skin for cuticles, or rougher bits like elbows or knees.
Red Eyed Lacquer brings us the “Lounging Lily” Tamesies Hair Oil scented in a blend of Asian pears, Lillies, lime and salt.
This is a beautifully done floral scent with just a hint of sweetness.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: 100
