Square Hue Review + Giveaway!




Square Hue recently sent me their March 2013 nail polish box to review. My first impression of the line came from their exquisite packaging. The branded shipping box is custom fit for the bottles and I absolutely adore the square bottles with the simple-yet-effective printing. I mean, the logo alone had me at hello.

All this without even opening a single bottle.

But when I did, it was more of the same. The brush is a great size for easily polishing each nail with just three simple strokes. The handle itself is a great length and thickness for steady control, which is something that is really important to me in a bottle of nail polish.

And then there's the color, which pretty much speaks for itself.

So How Does Square Hue Work?

Each month, the stylists at Square Hue preselects three in-season colors and has them delivered to your door for just $21. Each monthly shipment is automatic, but you can suspend or cancel your subscription at any time. Great polish, great price. Easy peasy!

If that wasn't enough to catch your interest, Square Hue donates a portion of all proceeds to The A21 Campaign for prevention awareness of Human Trafficking. Pretty great, right?

Picking nail polish is always a balancing act between price and coverage, and it seems like Square Hue does that! Also, I hope you don't mind, but I'm promoting this giveaway to kick off Domestic Violence week at Creighton. I love that Square Hue is working to prevent human trafficking! One of our workshops next week is dealing directly with that issue.

Woops...that last comment was from me :)

Haha! I knew that was you! Thanks for entering and sharing! xo

Sarah Clark said...

I look for a pretty colour with a good formula. Preferably free of some toxins too.

Ali Cat said...

I like color saturation and longevity. :) That green is nice!

Jenna O said...

I love pretty colour and a long lasting shine :)

Adiel said...

Good call, Sarah! You'll be glad to hear Square Hue has a "3-free" formula aka no DBP, formaldehyde or Toluene!

Adiel said...

I could totally see you rockin' that green, Ali!

Adiel said...

Those two are always a good thing to have! ;)

Vedrana Brankovic said...

What I look for in a great bottle of polish is great formula and full coverage in as few coats as possible. I don't care much about shine and durability because I change polish every other day and I use high gloss top coat anyway. As for the bottle itself, I prefer it to be rectangular because that makes easy it for storing.

Rhonda Hylton said...

No streaking, decent coverage, and something that doesn't chip or smudge too easy.

Jennifer D said...

I look for a polish that likes to stick around, not chip, and not a hassle to remove when it's time for a new mani :)

jessica.jorgensen07 said...

The most important thing to me in nail polish is even coverage but equally thin consistency.

Jessica Jean said...

I love nail polish that lasts, and that has a very bold color!

Lindsi said...

I love a good formula! One coat, two coats max! And it has to be long lasting, too.

Adiel said...

Makes totally sense! ;) Thanks for entering!

Adiel said...

Great points, Jessica! Thanks for sharing and entering! :)

Adiel said...

Couldn't agree more, Jess!

Adiel said...

Great points, especially your last! Although I make an exception for a really pretty glitter. ;)


Thanks for entering!

Adiel said...

Totally! Streaky polishes are the worst!

Adiel said...

I'm with you on the shine and durability. I swear I have ADD when it comes to nail polish/art. ;)

April Gevedon said...

A color I love & an easy to apply, good covering formula! That's all. Thanks!

Christina Wang said...

Kayla Marie Cartelle said...

Something that will provide good coverage in 1 coat since I'm always chasing around a 3 yr old hurricane!!

Maggie Gravelle said...

I am excited to get my first box next month! :)

Maggie Gravelle said...

I need a nail polish that is easy to apply, and a good formula. Quick to dry is a plus too, but not needed. I never wear polish for more then a 3-4 days anyway, so it doesn't NEED to last long.

Joey said...

I need a nail polish to be beautiful, solid, long lasting color

Joelle Rudnick said...

Color, color, color!

Megan said...

It has to dry in a reasonable amount of time. I can't wait 3 hours! I have stuff to do!

Jeanette D. said...

I need a nail polish that is easy to apply with good coverage and much color!!! Thanks for this amazing giveaway!! xx

Laura B. said...

Alissia Cortez said...

I look for a polish that is first, free of the big 3. then I move on to color and how it wears.

When I pick a nail polish, I mainly look for a great colour. Packaging is important as well, but if the colour catches my eye, that's a good sign!
