Square Hue Polish in WPA 1935
All the polishes this month are high gloss cremes – my favorite! This one is probably my favorite shade – it feels very summery to me.
Square Hue Polish in Boardgame 1934
Square Hue Polish in Tomorrowland 1939
These shades are very on trend for spring/summer, the boardgame shade may be a little too bold for me though!
Here are all the shades swatched:
Verdict: I think Square Hue is a great polish-only subscription box. I like their formula, and I think they do a great job of getting on-trend shades/finishes in every box.
What do you think of the April Square Hue box?

I love Square Hue polishes. For me, the formula works much better than Julep. Minimal chipping and pretty long lasting. This month’s might be my favorite colors I’ve gotten. I love the purple/pink and have gotten a ton of compliments.
My only wish is that they sold a top and base coat!
I’ve done this sub before, and liked all the shades, but the polish chips so bad for me. I’m always tempted to resub until I remember why I didn’t keep it. Great colors but I’m sticking with julep
I like the packaging of SquareHue and the few polishes I got were very nice. For those who think this is an expensive box, just be aware that SquareHue gives a portion of their profit to a cause. For a while, they’ve been donating 30% of their monthly profit to fight human trafficking (A21 campaign). That’s a huge portion! So I think the fact that some of the money is reinvested into causes such as this one makes it worth the price.
I LOVED Square Hue, I think their formulas were fantastic (much better than Julep), but I didn’t like not knowing what was coming. 🙁
If they’d just sell them in their store, or give a preview of one of the polishes, or a color scheme or SOMETHING for the month ahead, I’d be all over it!
The price seems high for a sub box – it’s what I’d pay at the drug store for 3 polishes, picking out exactly what I want. For the gamble of what I’m getting, I’d expect a lower price or more products.
They look unremarkable. Twenty dollars for three nail polishes? No, thanks. At $10 I could think about it.
