Hello lovely Society Sisters! Once upon a time, summer was my favorite season and I was loathe to see it end. Now that I'm old and curmudgeonly I am celebrating it being halfway over! August's The Holo Hookup box theme is "Great Outdoors", which I plan on enjoying more of once the weather cools down. For now it's one of two options- the swimming pool or inside with the AC cranked up. This month's box features limited shades from the three permanent indie brands- Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow- with guest brand Noodles Nail Polish!

The Holo Hookup April 2019: Mythical Creatures

 *press sample

Hello my lovely Society Sisters! April's The Holo Hookup theme is "Mythical Creatures" and each one is magical and ethereal! These light shades are perfect for Spring without being obvious pastel shades. Because of the light and delicate quality of these polishes they were especially hard to capture all the little details. So just trust that the photos don't do them justice!

The Holo Hookup March 2019: London Calling

 *press sample

Hello my lovely Society Sisters! March's The Holo Hookup theme is "London Calling" and I think the polishes match it so well. Of course this is coming from someone who's never been to London or the UK, but I think I've watched enough British movies and tv shows to know ;). Also as someone who's from Seattle I think this could have worked with that city if you swapped the red shade with green. Real quick, if this post is full of mistakes please forgive my sleep deprived brain. My youngest two are sick and I am so out of it! This month the contributors are the three permanent indie brands- Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow- with guest brand 'Ard As Nails!

This year, three fan favorites that were previously all limited editions will be re-released for six days only (details below). These special edition polishes have been closely matched to the original formulas to match as closely as possible and will come with a special product label designating that they are part of the special edition The Vault series.
