PolishandPaws

Happy 4th everyone! I was surprised to receive the Square Hue box so early this month, but I quickly realized it was so everyone could have theirs by the 4th. How awesome is that? SquareHue just rocks. So let’s get onto this months box!

Square Hue July Box


The 3 shades this month:

  • Fireworks
  • Stars
  • Independence

Fireworks is a red jelly base full of a multitude of small round glitters.

Independence is a deep blue high gloss creme.

And of course the nail art I did using this months colors.

For this look I started with 3 thin coats of SquareHue Stars on my index and ring finger, and 2 coats of SquareHue Independence on my middle and little finger. For the stars I used images from UberChic 4-01 and 4-03, and used SquareHue iPolish for the stamping.

For the stripes I used some wavy line nail vinyls from Polished Vino Vinyls. These can be applied to fully dry polish, but in the interest of time I decided to try doing some decals with them instead. I placed the vinyl stencils on my Simply Neat Miracle Mat by Bliss Kiss. I then painted over them with SquareHue Fireworks to create the red lines. I gently lifted the stencil, pulling up from the corner with a pair of tweezers. That left just the red wavy lines on my miracle mat. I then brushed on a coat of HK Girl Glisten and Glow to complete the decal. Once that was dry I was able to peel the decal off the mat and place it on my nail; I finished off with one more coat of HK Girl Glisten and Glow to seal the design.

Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures of this step as it was my first time trying this technique and quite honestly I didn’t know how well it would work out. But I was very pleased with how well it worked.

I really love the colors from this months box, they are patriotic but with SquareHues own take to add a fun little twist.

And for some more information about Square Hue. Square Hue offers 2 different subscription boxes, a 2 polish box and a 3 polish box starting from $14.99 a month. A portion of proceeds from each box subscription goes towards a specified cause, currently human trafficking. I am of a strong belief that the only thing better than pretty polish is pretty polish with a cause. So go check out SquareHue at the links below.
