Square Hue-Times Square


This is a polish I've been wanting to swatch out for a while now. Times Square is from the New York Collection, of which I've already reviewed one of the polishes, Fifth Avenue (which you can catch here), and this one I was planning on doing next, it just took a while, lol. Anyhow, this is a super glitter polish. Under normal light, it applies on grey, but in natural sunlight or flash, the multi-chrome aspects really come to life.

Application was a cinch as this only needed 2 coats to get going, plus you could even layer this over other polishes. The uses are pretty endless to be honest. I have to say that this color is a must buy, if you can find it, snap it up, the price would be worth it.

Enjoy and Happy Polishing Peeps!

Square Hue-Shibuya


Alrighty folks, this is the last of the 3 Square Hue Tokyo polishes, Shibuya. This is a red-with-a-touch-of-blue polish, and it also has a lot of glitter shimmer to boot.

This one isn't as sheer as Roppongi, but it will still take probably 3 good coats for full coverage. I'm not too fond of the shade myself, but I do think this will be a popular one for summertime, plus that particular shade of red is usually easily duped, so I wouldn't go out of my way to look for it. This would probably be the only one of the three that just didn't do it for me.

Enjoy and Happy Polishing Peeps!

Square Hue-Roppongi


Hi folks! Sorry I've been away for a while but I've been doing the job grind so I haven't really had time for polishing much, but I'm here today with the first of three Square Hue polishes for your viewing pleasure. The first one is Roppongi from the Tokyo Collection. If you recall, I reviewed the first polish from this one, Ginza a while back (you can check that out here), so part of what I'm doing over the next 3 days is to knock out the other 2 polishes in the collection.

This one is a smorgasbord of ideas. It's a glittery duochrome with extra hex glitter pieces thrown in for good measure. When looking at the bottle, it looks like a straight green polish, but when applied it actually takes on a copper tone until exposed to light, which really adds a cool effect. Only downside to this color is that it's very sheer, the pic you see here is 2 coats, so you'll probably need 3-4 for full coverage. I would still highly recommend it though if you can track it down through eBay or something similar.

Enjoy and Happy Polishing Peeps!
