The problem, as whiny ol' me and others have pointed out, is that in four months we've gotten three off-white near-dupes and several other near-dupes. When we got that awesome holo in the New York box, I hoped it was the sign of things to come and we'd get, say, a blue holo or a pink holo. I still think there's a lot of new ground SqH can cover if they want to -- said holos, thicker glitter instead of sheer glitter, matte textures, etc. Mostly, though, I wish they'd back off on the yellows and yellow-greens. Those flatter very few people IMO.
Dang it, Sue -- I hate when you make me rethink a comment and act like an adult! <lol>
I said I really, really, really wanted to like this company and when I look at the whole picture I have to admit I do. GREAT customer service (when was the last time you got a personal call back?), I love that they give to charity and it's not a charity that has it's own month or color. The polish is very good. Good application, good staying power. I've been a member for 5 months and in that time have received 15 polishes. In that time I have liked the majority of the polishes. I've liked less polishes in purchasing mystery boxes off of FB and considered those successful purchases. And just from subscribing to SqH, I've found communities of others who joined and played the "what colors will we get?" game.
I've suspended my subscription and am already toying if I will take it off suspension. Amsterdam? I'm thinking red-orange & purple tulips gently wafting in the breeze.
Square Hue is a good company. I am whiny about the 3 off-whites since December and the back-to-back red, white & blue boxes. But I have faith that this is a company that will listen to its customers.
