I placed a small order with Hello Waffle during the Canada Day sale at the beginning of June. TAT was a little longer than usual because of the sale, but still totally reasonable. I’d seen swatches and rave reviews of Hello Waffle but I still wasn’t expecting to love some of these colors the way I do. Completely worth the $6 shipping cost and the slightly longer TAT/shipping time. I have a ridiculously long wishlist that just got longer. Everything Christine makes is beautiful.

I ordered full sizes of Hot Cross Bunnies, Corgi Butts and Archean Earth as well as sample sizes of Pool of Tears and Debussy. Animate Chess Piece and Golden Afternoon were my free samples.

Swatches are done over Pixie Epoxy. Indirect natural light (L), direct indoor light (R).

Top to bottom: Corgi Butts, Hot Cross Bunnies and Archean Earth.



Corgi Butts

Soft peach with red highlights and sparkle

I’m not going to lie, I bought this because of the name. I couldn’t resist. Without Pixie Epoxy this is a very soft sparkly pink. With PE it’s most definitely peach and the red shines through without being overpowering. It’s a very easy to wear color and the name makes me giggle every time.

Hot Cross Bunnies

Light purple with golden sheen

This color was the reason for my order. It’s a beautiful light purple that just GLOWS. I’m pretty sure Christine is magic.

Archean Earth

Ocean green with intense gold shift and green sparkles

I want everything to be this color. I asked Christine to substitute this for Cat Fluff and I’m so glad. Without PE it’s a very subtle color that I wear to work frequently. With PE it just shines. It’s a sparkly medium green with a hint of blue and gold.

Top to bottom: Golden Afternoon, Pool of Tears, Debussy, Animate Chess Piece.

Golden Afternoon

Soft sparkly yellow golden sheen

This is probably my least favorite of the colors I received, but that’s not actually saying much because of how much I loved everything. This is a very pretty yellow. It reminds me of sunshine. I don’t wear yellows very often so this isn’t one I would’ve ordered for myself, but it’s still lovely.

Pool of Tears

Light blue with golden shimmer

This is another example of Christine’s magic. This is a wonderful bright blue that just seems to glow from within. I don’t wear a lot of blues but this color is starting to change that.

Debussy

Soft pastel green with subtle golden highlights

This is the other color I was really looking forward it. I love it. It’s this gorgeous light green that manages to be both soft and bright at the same time.

Animate Chess Piece

Pale dusty pink sheen with a touch of violet

PE definitely brings the color out of this. Without the PE it’s a very soft, pale pink that I use as an inner eye highlight. It’s nice, though it doesn’t blow me away like some of the others.

I’m going to be placing another, much larger order very soon. In the past 24 hours I think my wishlist has at least doubled in size. I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful everything is. Even the labels. Tiny little kitties on everything. Everything about this company makes me smile.
