Hey y'all! Today on the blog I have more polishes from Madam Glam to share with you! And a discount code that they graciously offered my readers for Black Friday! I am happy to report that these polishes are all amazing quality and total must haves. If you want to see the swatches, keep reading!
The first polish I have to share with you is Holo Fever, a purple based jelly glitter bomb filled with scattered holo micro glitter! Application was lovely despite the slight thickness due to all of the glitter. I applied Holo Fever in two thin coats plus topcoat. I would recommend maybe doubling up on your coats of topcoat because the micro glitter tends to eat it a bit. The formula is a tiny bit on the thick side but self levels beautifully. My swatch shows two coats.

The next one of the bunch is More Diamonds Please, a pinky-grey micro glitter filled with scattered holo in a jelly base. The formula on More Diamonds Please is very similar to Holo Fever, a bit thick but easy to apply and it self leveled nicely. I expected to have to do 3 coats of More Diamonds Please but 2 did the trick! My swatch shows 2 coats plus topcoat.

Next up is Blue Princess, a blue micro glitter with a slight green shift resulting in a beautiful turquoise finish. Blue Princess was more sheer coverage than the previous micro glitters that I swatched so it could easily be worn as a topper or by itself in 3 thin coats. Formula was similar to Holo Fever and More Diamonds Please, a little on the thick side due to the dense glitter but again, it self leveled nicely. My swatch shows 3 thin coats plus topcoat. I did dab the glitter around a little around the tip of my nail to make sure I didn't have any VNL.

The final polish I have to show you is Fun In A Bottle, a white crelly base with matte neon hex glitters in all sizes! This one was definitely my favorite since I'm a lover of all the crellies in life. The formula on Fun In A Bottle blew me away - not thick at all or too thin, just the perfect consistency and opaque in 2 coats. My favorite thing about Fun In A Bottle was that I didn't even have to shake it to get all of the different glitters out. There was no settling of the glitter during shipping and I didn't have to fish any out. My swatch shows 2 coats plus topcoat.

Hey y'all! Today on the blog I have a swatch and review of 5 polishes from Madam Glam, a boutique polish brand based out of NYC. These 5 are from their fall collection that is currently available. I have lots to say so let's jump right in!
The first one up is Red Black, a squishy jelly like creme. I was hoping this one would look a little more like the bottle, almost a deep burgundy but as is the case with colors like this, it just showed up black on the nail. I loved the formula on these, thick but not so thick that I couldn't do a relatively thin coat, easy to control and apply, not runny. I did have a little difficulty with the brush, its not wide but the bristles are thick and very dense. There was a bit of a learning curve to using it but once I got started, I had a pretty easy time after that. My swatch shows 2 coats plus topcoat, though you could likely get away with one thicker coat.

The next one up is Another glass, a blackened jelly base with dense burgundy shimmer throughout. This one is a one coat wonder! Yes, that's one easy coat that you see down below. The formula was perfection on Another Glass, it applied like butter in that one coat with a dense peppering of shimmer all across my nail. My swatch shows one coat plus topcoat. This one my top favorite from the five I was sent!

Next up is Dark and Classy, another squishy jelly like creme but this time with an indigo base. This is another one that leaned one color in the bottle but just showed black on the nail. I didn't mind the end result but I was a bit disappointed that the color didn't translate. Again, I did two thin coats here but this is another one that could probably be a OCW. My swatch is 2 coats plus topcoat.

Almost finished! The next up is Vintage Girl, a dusty mauve creme. This one was more of a true creme vs the other cremes that were more like jellies. This was a surprise favorite of mine, I didn't think I'd love such a traditional color on my nails but I felt classic and beautiful with it on. Application and formula were really good. My swatch shows 2 thin coats plus topcoat.

The final polish that I have to show you is Endless Night, an inky blue/black squishy jelly like creme. I know, I know - 3 of these looked almost identical, right? I had that issue too. In fact, when I was cropping and watermarking my photos, I struggled with keeping them all straight. I wouldn't say that you need all 3, but each is beautiful with good applications and formula so I would say at least one of these dark, vampy cremes is worth owning! Anyway, I did two coats of Endless Night and added a topcoat. LOOK HOW SHINY!
