SquareHue December 2014 Review/Swatches

Hey everyone! I've got December's SquareHue box (a little late) to share with you all today, which they kindly sent me to review. It costs $19.99 a month and you get three new shades in each box. You can pause your membership at any time, which is great if your nail polish collection is piling up and you need a little break. But let's be real, who really wants a break from polish?

December's SquareHue box is from The Passport Collection. Side note, starting in 2015 they are introducing the decades collection. Um, there's going to be a 1920s box and if you know me you know that I am obsessed with the 20s. So that's happening. Anyway, the destination for December is Rovaniemi. Apparently Rovaniemi is Santa's hometown in Finland. You learn something new every day! Here is what came in my box. I love the simple and modern packaging! Great design.


First up is Joulupukin Pajakyla, a beautiful red micro glitter. Application was fantastic - the polish went on nicely in two coats. I love a good red, and this is definitely a good one.


Next is Sampokeskus. This is a gold micro glitter and as you can tell by the pictures it has a textured finish instead of glossy like the red polish. I absolutely love this color and I think I may incorporate it into my NYE mani!


Below are pictures of Sampokeskus with a top coat. On the left my index and middle fingers have a top coat and the ring and pinky fingers do not. On the right I applied the top coat to all of my nails. Which do you like better, with or without a top coat?


The last color in the collection is a gorgeous green called Revontuli. This has a suede finish and was the most difficult to apply. You kind of have to work quickly because matte polishes tend to dry pretty fast. Here I used one coat.

This is my first time trying SquareHue polishes and I am seriously impressed. The packaging and labeling is simple and modern, the formula is on point, and the colors are gorgeous. I love that all of their colors are created in house and that each box has a theme. (Once again, Decades Collection for 2015 coming up. 1920s. Yes please) Even more awesome is that SquareHue donates a portion of all sales to charity! Pretty cool, huh?
