Hi everyone! Today I have swatches for the June Hella Handmade Creations (HHC)! This will probably be my biggest post ever with over 140 swatch pictures!
Before we jump in, I just wanted to apologize up front about the differences in my nails as you go through this post. I had a really bad break in the middle of swatching everything this month, so some pictures have my usual square shape and the rest are much shorter and oval. It distracts me, so I just wanted to apologize if it's distracting to you too!

First, let me give you some background on what Hella Handmade Creations (HHC) is.

These items are exclusive to HHC and are available for a week-long pre-order sale.
After the pre-order closes, items are made to order by each brand and shipped to HHC Headquarters in Hawaii where the ladies will begin shipping everything out to you, the customer!
