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.

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.

Square Hue-Ginza

Alright, for today, I've swatched Square Hue's Ginza, from their Tokyo Collection. This is a shimmery-blue polish, of which anything shimmery comes with it's own challenges.

To begin with, this was a much easier polish to work with than most shimmers, but that may be due to the Square Hue formula. As I've said before, the brush is pretty small, so for those of you with big nail beds like myself, this might be a bit challenging. Also, this is a shimmer polish, so how you paint with your strokes is critical, no amount of top coat will be able to hide a ton of streakiness, so be advised. This is a great shimmer though, and a perfect summer shade to boot.

Square Hue-Buckingham

Whelp, here's another Square Hue color, this time from their January Collection, Buckingham. This red I was very much into from the get-go, kinda makes the sub worth it. You'll have to excuse the lack of polish bottle, I painted my nails at a friend's house, then had to hit the road, so you get a pic with my Zelda 3DS.

Application was a bit smoother than Fifth Ave., for guys always be mindful of the brush, but I would have to say this is a bit easier of a red to wear on a regular basis if you're male. The ladies will very much love this color as it's darker and goes a bit better with winter.

Square Hue-Fifth Avenue

Alright, I'm back from a nice little break. I should say I will take breaks in the swatching action from time to time, usually due to my day job keeping my busy, so just bear with me in that regards. I do have about 4 swatches over the next 4 days to show you, starting with this gem.

So, one of the things I did over my break was to set up a sub to Square Hue. I had heard a lot of good things about the service and the quality of polish, so I figured I would give it the old college try. The first box I got was the New York Collection, of which this shade was one of them. I do have to say, this is probably the first red color I actually like and would probably wear out and about in public. I'm not sure if it's the timelessness of it, but it just felt right.

The formula was good, I should warn that the brush is a bit on the small side, so it might be difficult to get a good amount of coverage all across the nail for fellow guys like myself, but otherwise, awesome polish. I may actually get more into reds now.

Enjoy and Happy Polishing Peeps!
