Square Hue Toque
Toque is described as a neutral peach high gloss creme. This isn’t a bright peach, it’s just a little subdued. It’s actually quite unique. Unfortunately the formula is sheer and streaky. It took 4 coats to get clean opaque coverage. It does dry quickly though, so you’ll have to decide if it’s worth it to you.
Square Hue Jaleo
Jaleo is described as a deep red burgundy high gloss creme. This is definitely high gloss! I even had to filter my lights more than usual to limit the light glare. Nice easy formula with no issues. I used 3 coats for my swatches. Two was almost enough but I had a couple thin spots still.
Square Hue Palmas
Palmas is described as an olive green matte pearlescent. OMG give me all the ugly greens! This one is a real stunner. A lovely matte with a super easy to use formula. Opaque in just 1 coat, yes ONE! And check it out with top coat too, it just glows!

Abstract Dry Marble Nail Art
For this month I decided to do some abstract dry marble decals, which are soooo easy! Originally I intended this to be the base for some stamping but I just couldn’t bring myself to cover it up.
For my abstract dry marble decals I started by putting a few drops of each shade on my Miracle Mat (or a plastic bag will work). Then I took a plastic bag and gently pressed it over the polish to “squish” the colors together. Then I very gently nudged the top bag to the side just enough to get that sweeping appearance in the polish. I pulled the top bag off and coated each section with a layer of top coat. Once dry I affixed the decals to my nails using a sticky base coat. I then added 1 more coat of top coat to give it extra shine.
I found a good You Tube tutorial online that is similar to what I did and am linking it below.
So what do you think of this months box? It is still available for individual purchase, linked below. And I have to say I love how my dry marble decal mani turned out! Hope you do too. 🙂
