Square Hue Polish in Tunic 1910
Square Hue Polish in Kewpies 1912
These shades are my favorites this month – I love classic peach and pink shades. Plus I really like the finish of their high gloss creme formula!
Square Hue Polish in War Crinoline 1915
Here is the swatch card for the shades:
Verdict: As always, I’m happy with the formulas of Square Hue’s polishes, and I think their color collections each month are on-trend. The green shade probably isn’t something I’d wear often, but the pink and peach shades will get a lot of use!
What do you think of the February Square Hue box?
Written by Liz Cadman
I got two boxes : a surprise box, which was the December 2014 (Rovaniemi) and the February one. They both arrived a few days apart, which I found a bit curious since I thought they left at the same time.
The February 1910 box was a good start for a nail polish newbie like me. Tunic and Kewpies are very simple and classic colors that I’ll be able to fit with probably almost anything since they’re close to nude colors. War Crinoline is a nice dark green color (and I do like green) that I think I’ll be able to wear a little bit more by itself since it’s dark.
I’ll be honest I was a bit disappointed to receive Rovaniemi as a surprise box since it was more Christmas themed (the colors are still very pretty though) and I would have liked a bigger range of colors. But now I can try to do some mix and match (though I’ll start by being able to do the basic coating).
First box! LOVE the colors 🙂 super excited to try the formula.
My first box, and I love it! I’ll get a lot of use out of the pink and coral…not crazy about the green…I guess that will go up for swap!
Is this better than julep?
Personally, I liked the formula a lot better than Julep. If we had a chance to see what the shades were each month, it’d definitely be a better choice, IMO.
If you’re up for wearing anything, I’d absolutely go with Square Hue over Julep!
I agree 100%. Julep polishes are half the size and due to being “5 free” tend to go bad in a matter of months, meaning they dry up/become gooey and unusable. I just threw away more than a dozen 9 month old or less Julep bottles for that reason.
