Madam Glam: Review

One of the things I loved blogging when I first started was nail varnishes but I had to sadly stop it as my nails took a turn for the worst and weren’t a pretty sight, thankfully they have started to get better, thanks to a lot of hand and nail cream and a good few years work, but they do still break at the most inconvenient of times.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t like wearing and trying new polishes, so when Madam Glam got in touch to see if I would like to try some of their nail varnishes straight from the US, I of course said yes. All of their varnishes are free from formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde resin and camphor – which means a more healthy formula to be putting on your nails. As well as them all being cruelty free and vegan friendly.

Madam Glam sent me the following four colours:

All redy – $10.95

This is really build-able colour, the picture above shows three coats on a clear nail stick, though on the nail it does translate a slightly deeper red, I feel you would need more coats to really get a rich red colour. This particular nail varnish is a jelly a type of polish, something I haven’t worked with much as I always assumed for someone who shakes, it wouldn’t be that forgiving, however I was wrong and I actually am now looking forward to trying more of this kind.

Disco Ball – $10.95

When is a set of varnishes complete without a glitter? In my mind never and as a lover of blue this is just the perfect addition to my collection, the website suggests you need just one coat for an even coverage but I found personally that a couple worked better (after all the more sparkles the better right)!

Black Hole – $10.95

I remember going through a lot of black varnishes in my teens, I used to hate the fact they didn’t apply well and would look streaky and odd, oh to have had access to this varnish back then. With its creamy formula it glides onto the nail leaving a glossy finish, that teen me would have been proud of.

Precious Mate – $10.95

This shimmery, metallic number is the perfect way to finish the colours, perfect for use on its own or as an accent colour this beauty needs three coats to achieve the amount of colour you can see above and if you wanted I am sure you could easily build on it to make it more intense.

When it comes to staying power – I am not a person who nail varnish stays on well (unless its on my toes) so I have to admit I’m probably not the best person to review this aspect, however I did get a couple of days of wear until it needed to be removed.

I would definitely look to try more Madam Glam varnishes in the future and one of the best things is, if you spend over $40 they offer free shipping worldwide and if you use the code: lifeinabreakdown30 at checkout you can also get yourself 30% off so what are you waiting for head over and check out Madam Glam now.

What do you think of these colours, are any of them one you would wear?
