Madam Glam - Swatches, Review, & Nail Art...plus a discount code!


Hello, all! Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday! Today I've got swatches from a new to me brand called Madam Glam! I'm very pleased with the quality and formulas on these polishes and I'm excited to share them all with you! Read through to the end for some nail art and a special discount code! 

This is a great "true" orange creme polish. Seriously amazing for times of the year, but will be especially great for Halloween that is fast approaching. The formula on this was bit tricky. This was on the thicker side and the polish didn't dry as fast as I would have liked so the first time I painted with this, I wound up with polish being pushed towards the tips of my nails. I tried again though and really focused on using thin coats and that seemed to help. Shown is 2-3 coats.
Oh how I love my blue polishes! Blue Bliss is a wonderfully deep sky blue with the slightest teal undertones...and it was pretty much a one coater (though I have shown it with 2)! The formula on this one was phenomenal. It was completely self leveling and it was a thin enough polish that application was super easy. Loved this one.
This is a celery (okay, guacamole) colored jelly. It's pretty sheer until you hit about 3 coats, though even then I can just make out the free edge of my nail. However, I really love this shade! It's really unique to me and I love that it's one of those shades that might be considered odd to some, but to me it's great. The formula was pretty nice, no real application issues and dried to a nice shine.
Oh my giddy gumdrops, this is almost a one coater grey creme!! Someone pinch me! It's a light concrete shade and though the bottle makes it look like there is a slight shimmer to the polish, it's almost indistinguishable on the nail...which I'm alright with because this is just a lovely grey all on it's own. I can already see this being used regularly in my nail art base routine. The formula was wonderful, self-leveling and I only needed 2 coats.
I also ended up doing some fun nail art with these polishes! For some reason these colors together brought to mind some drippy nails so I painted a rainbow of dripping paint using these 4 shades. I'm thinking that the orange, green and grey will lend themselves nicely to future Halloween manis.
