Uh Huh Her
What exactly do they mean by "satin finish"? They don't seem to have done one of those before, so I'm not sure what to expect! (I really hope that brown photographs poorly. It reminds me of something really, *really* icky.)
I'm thinking the satin will be a matte finish. I mislabeled my photo. The micro glitter is the light blue and the satin is the teal on the left, but y'all probably figured that out. And the tan/brown is kinda flesh colored.What exactly do they mean by "satin finish"? They don't seem to have done one of those before, so I'm not sure what to expect!

Ooh...I love the preview for July! I have actually been hoping for an Orange (not yellow but a true orange) since Amsterdam so I'm excited about the possibility. At first glance the preview looks similar to Amsterdam's (without the green) so I hope the colors are different. I will probably un-pause my account for July!Have to say I'm shocked at how similar the trio is, at first glance, to all three November colors. I literally thought the picture posted in this thread was a mistake and that she accidentally posted a pic of the November box. Now, I loved that set but I don't need dupes and boy am I glad I skipped June!
Edit: I see they've posted the July teaser: Barcelona. They say "Caliente" and "Olé" so I'm expecting hot colors. Also, the preview pic shows a bright pink-red, an orange or orange-red (no, no more oranges and yellows, pleeeeease!!), and a blackened purple. The orange makes me think I probably won't un-pause for July. Sigh.
There's a few pics on Instagram that make the blues look a little more ... blue, I think. The tan one is NOT my style. Very disappointed in that color, I guess I will see about swapping that out for something else. I really love the satin finish color, though.

Here are swatches. Credit to scaldedmilk on Instagram.
But of course I would credit you! I didn't know you were here on MUT, lol.Thank you for crediting me.
Also, the tan is horrible. The blues are ok but the formula on the satin wasn't the best. It was def NOT matte but also not glossy.
Putting under a spoiler for the squeamish:But of course I would credit you! I didn't know you were here on MUT, lol.
I don't know what they were thinking with that tan. I thought it would be more of a sandy color, that dark brown just looks like the insides of a soiled baby diaper.
That's too bad about the satin finish, I was looking forward to that. I was hoping for something similar to the latex finish Julep put out last year for a black polish. In fact, I wish more brands would put out a latex finish, it is so fun to touch, haha. And in more colors than just the obvious black. Like blue or red. Oh man, I would pay good money to get a fire engine red latex finish. Does this exist? I'm still somewhat new to the polish game, so I haven't seen all there is to offer yet.
I think Flynn is much more of a camel brown -- beige with a greyish tone. I really like it, and it's one of the few nudes I do like.The brown color kind of reminds me of Zoya "Flynn," although that's just a regular cream.
Maybe they were trying to avoid the obvious -- a sandy colored, "sand finish" tan or greige -- but that color doesn't scream Maui to me. Darker coconut brown would have been better!
Cult Nails (not to be confused with CULT Cosmetics) has a wax finish on several of their polishes that may give them the "latex" finish you're looking for. They have several colors in this finish, including "Kiss" which is red, and they have a wax top-coat that is supposed to give all polishes this finish. I don't personally have any of the wax finish polishes and they are a little expensive (at $12) but the polishes I do have from Cult have been great!But of course I would credit you!

I didn't get a box last month, but they have been known to screw up the labeling before - I think there was a mix up in January with the West End polish.So *cough* this was my first month ever with SquareHue.
Did anyone else have a discrepancy with labeling?
Heres what I've got:
Ala Moana- blue microglitter
Ka' ahumanu- Satin
Wailea- Hi Gloss
Now the info card says that ka'ahumanu is the micro glitter, yet it most definitely is NOT.
I'm mainly curious. It doesnt really matter what the name of it is, I just wondered...
