Review and Swatch: SquareHue's "Portsmouth" Nail Polish

Hey Everyone,
Here I am again with a review and swatch post, this time it's SquareHue's "Portsmouth" Nail Polish from the November "Coastal" Collection.  Here's the swatch:




As you can see it's more blue on the swatch than in person.  In person it's a nice shade of bluish-grey.  The formula is great, it went on effortlessly and easy.  I used two coats in this picture.  This color is similar to another color but I won't mention names or companies.  It's a pretty blue almost a deep blue mixed with grey undertones.

Until next time guys have a great day and stay tuned for more!

Review and Swatch of SquareHue's "Chatham" Nail Polish

Hey Everyone,
Just thought I'd pop in with a review and a swatch of SquareHue's "Chatham" Nail Polish.  It's a beautiful color and perfect formula.  Here's the swatch:



As you can see it blends in with my end table.  I just don't have the means or the time to photograph quality swatches so I make do with what I got.  Anyways, this color is a rich milk chocolate color and I used two coats but some people whose blogs I've read used three coats with this color but I got away with two.  It went on easy and effortlessly and after two days I had only one chip on one nail and it's usually on my right hand which is my dominant hand.  I'm very impressed with SquareHue and will continue being a subscriber.

Until next time guys have a great day and stay tuned for more!

November 2013 SquareHue Box-The Coastal Collection-My First Box!

Hey Everyone,
When Bondi axed their subscription box I had to find a new nail polish sub box so I remembered hearing about SquareHue a while back and then I was considering subscribing before September's collection was released but I couldn't afford a third nail polish sub box at the time.  But now I can, after Bondi cancelled their box, of course.  Right now you can get a Square Hue box for $14.99 a month plus $5 shipping so it's $19.99 a month which is what Julep sells their boxes for so good for me.  I got the November box in the mail today and all I can say is...WOW!  The polishes were beautifully packaged and came with a card listing the collection name and the polish names.  November's collection is called The Coastal Collection and here's a picture of all three polishes I got today:


 
From Left: Nantucket, Chatham, and Portsmouth
 
 
Here's a detailed description of each polish:
 
 
Nantucket-This is a medium teal polish that looks more green than teal.  It is described as a HiGloss Crème polish and goes on very easily.  In the swatch I used two coats and a clear coat to top it off.  This color is beautiful and could be worn on St. Patrick's Day.  Here's the swatch:
 
 
 
 
 
Chatham-I thought from the pictures I saw on other people's blogs that this polish would be orange but that's silly since they had an orange in last month's collection.  This HiGloss Crème is actually a chocolate brown and it looks absolutely gorgeous in the bottle.  I would also imagine that it would look beautiful on the nails as well.  Swatch coming soon!
 
 
Portsmouth-This nail polish is described as a blue-grey HiGloss Crème.  It looks exactly like a storm cloud on a rainy, stormy day in a bottle.  It has to be my favorite color out of the three because it's so unique to me I don't know.  I mean it's just nail polish but it's unique nail polish, you know.  Swatch is coming soon!
 
 
 
I loved this box so much that I can't wait for December's box, which is The Passport Collection: New York!  Wonder what colors they'll come up with for that box?  A girl can only dream.
 
 
Anyways, as always, have a great day guys and stay tuned for more!
