SquareHue: November 2014 Spoilers

So...this month SquareHue is going to PRAGUE! Sorry I have no idea how to post a picture, but both their instagram and website have the preview image. 

Is anybody getting a box and what colors do you think they will send? The preview looks pretty dark, and really the only color I could guess is gray? A slate blue (I think I guess this color almost every month) could also fit the theme. 

The preview colors are very dull and I am not tempted to re-start my sub.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   I'm hoping for something great for December though!

The snowflakes in the photo make me think... a glitter topcoat, perhaps? I love grey polishes, but between Essie & butter London I think I'm covered. (off topic -- I went crazy & bought bL Chimney Sweep the other day at Ulta for FULL PRICE! I needed to get to Platinum status.)

Glitter topcoat would be awesome! I hope you're right Hariette /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

A glitter top coat would be great, but it would have to be very different from their January 2013 Arctic Frost.  I never wore that one much.  Something like China Glaze's Fairy Dust would be nice.

I am getting a box this month. I don't have many gray polishes, so that would be great but a glitter topper would be awesome!  

I just got a survey from SquareHue.  They want to hear our likes, dislikes, and suggestions!  :-D

I got this same survey...I made sure they knew I would like to see some polishes that weren't basic creme colors (red, pink, etc.) and weren't the same colors being sent over and over! 

I'm excited to see the changes they hinted at (I would love to be able to buy SquareHue colors individually)! 

Me too, Katie.  I told them I'd like more holos and duochromes, more purple shades, fewer yellows and oranges.  And no more dupes/near dupes!  I would buy individual colors too.

What I'd really like, which I didn't tell them because I just plain forgot, is that I'd like a choice of boxes each month -- you know, choose from among three sets or something like that.  Don't know if that would get too labor-intensive though.

I just received shipping!  As excited as I was to see the Passport collection theme this time last year, I am *so ready* for it to be over.  At least I *hope* it's over.  I think six months is a good amount of time for this sort of thing, but it seems like *forever* since there has been an interesting theme.

I got mine today. I got suckered in with a buy one get one free box. Picture in a minute.

I was going to do spoiler tags but I can't.

@@chelsealady No need for spoiler tags since this is a spoiler thread! 

I'm not big on the gray with glitter (parizska) because it's a bit boring in the bottle to me, but I'm kind of obsessing over the smoky plum with shimmer (vaclavske namesti) and the sage cream (na prikope)!  These are *fantastic* colors for November to me.  Much better than last November's set.  That just didn't feel like November to me *at all*.  April, maybe, but not November.  This one?  November, all the way.

I really love this month's box! I don't have many gray polishes, and definitely none with glitter so this one is a welcome addition to my stash! Microglitter is one of my favorite finishes from SquareHue! The green and purple are great too, although is the purple similar to the one from Beverly Hills? Either way, I love purple so I will happily wear both! 

I agree with @@meaganola that this is the perfect box for November! 

Will be great to see some swatches!  The two on the left look ultra dark but that might be my monitor.  Is the green gray-toned or more yellow-toned?  How does it compare to Valor from July 2013?  thx

The one on the left is pretty much accurate:  Dark smoky plum with a silver sheen (it's pretty subtle:  almost an oil spill-type sheen rather than a strong metallic shimmer, if that makes sense).  The middle one is lighter in-person -- a medium gray with silver, more like a seal gray, slightly lighter than my British blue shorthair -- but it may dry lighter or darker since it's one of Those Kinds of Colors.  I haven't swatched it yet.  The green is definitely more gray than yellow.  In fact, when I first tried to describe the color, I wanted to call it "green-gray," as in gray with a greenish cast, and then I got in better light and realized it's distinctly green.  It reminds me of a certain kind of plant my mom had in her yard, but I don't know the name of it.  Oh!  Dusty miller.  I just checked Google, and that's what it was called.  I have *no clue* how I remembered that.  I *do not* know the names of plants *at all*.

ETA:  Comparison to Valor.  Not sure (and I can't check right now because of Apartment Chaos), but I remember Valor as being a solid olive and not anything like this one.  If I can dig Valor out today, I'll do comparison swatches of that as well as this purple against the one in Beverly Hills (I think those two are radically different as well, but if I can unearth BH, I can swatch them both).

Just kidding...cañon drive (from Beverly Hills) and vaclavske namesti from this month are not similar at all! I don't have Valor but I would not describe na prikope as olive at all. It is definitely more of a sage green.
