qt setStylesheet does not update

I want to change the borders of my textboxes if they are not field. So I do a simple check and the change styles like this:

if(!ui->TextBoxPhone->text().isEmpty() && !ui->TextBoxAddress->text().isEmpty()) {
    cout<<"Saved fine \n";
}
else {
    if(ui->TextBoxPhone->text().isEmpty()) {
        ui->TextBoxPhone->setStyleSheet("border: 2px solid red");
    }
    if(ui->TextBoxAddress->text().isEmpty()) {
        ui->TextBoxAddress->setStyleSheet("border: 2px solid red");
    }
}

So the problem I have is that the stylesheet would not update automaticly. It will update however if I click elsewhere. I already tried using 

ui->TextBoxName->style()->unpolish(ui->TextBoxName);
ui->TextBoxName->style()->polish(ui->TextBoxName);
ui->TextBoxName->update();

No luck. Might it be a macbook isue?

here are some screenshots:

as you can see left-border is red

when I click on another textbox both of them update and become red

Solved it... repaint() method did the job;

 ui->TextBoxPhone->repaint();

Works for me:

myTextEdit->setStyleSheet("QTextEdit{background: transparent; border: none;}");

Nothing else needed. Make sure to specify correct type for the stylesheet. Or maybe even this will resolve:

myTextEdit->setStyleSheet("{background: transparent; border: none;}");
