Madam Glam Fall 2015 Collection | Swatches & Review

Posted on October 9, 2015October 3, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Friday! Today I am excited to bring you swatches and a review of even more fall nail polishes! The boutique brand Madam Glam recently released a bunch of new nail polish shades for the fall season, and provided me with five to review for all of you. I decided to choose some dark polishes and some glitters. Now that fall is in full swing and the weather is getting much cooler, I’m all about darks! Let me show you the polishes I picked out!

First up is High Standards, a deep oxblood polish with a creme finish. High Standards has a good formula that is opaque in two coats. The polish is a bit on the goopy side, so I recommend thin layers that you let dry completely. High Standards is so chic! As I’m writing this post I’m looking at the swatches above and thinking I need to put this polish on again as soon as possible!

Next up is Another Glass, a deep berry wine polish packed with shimmer. This is by far my favorite polish of the bunch. The formula is perfection, and I applied two coats for opacity. I really love the dimension with Another Glass. It’s great for fall and for the holidays as well.

Endless Night is up next, and it is a deep indigo creme polish. Endless Night has a great formula that is opaque in two coats, but it is a stainer! I had on base coat and a few of my nails were blue upon removal. I recommend applying two healthy layers of base coat before using Endless Night, and make sure your base is completely dry. This polish is gorgeous, so I’m going to brave the stains for it!

Next is Holo Fever, a purple based polish packed with holographic microglitter. Holo Fever has a good formula that is opaque in two coats. It is on the thick side, so I recommend thin coats that you allow to dry completely before adding another layer. I added a glossy top coat to the manicure to even out the glitter, and I think it is super fun! Purple and holo glitter make a great combination.

Last but not least is More Diamonds Please, a silver polish with holographic microglitter. More Diamonds Please has a tricky formula that is very thick and goopy, but also sheer. I layered on two coats and did not achieve opacity, but because of the thickness of the polish, I couldn’t add a third coat. More Diamonds Please is beautiful, but I’d recommend using one thin coat as a topper on another manicure.

All in all, Madam Glam has a lot of fall nail polish options in a variety of shades and finishes. I’m really loving Another Glass, and High Standards is gorgeous, too. You can purchase these polishes directly from the Madam Glam website HERE. Polishes are $10.95 each, but if you buy 6 products you can get 50% off with the code GET3FREE, which is an amazing deal! The five polishes I’ve shared with you are just a few of the polishes Madam Glam has to offer, so be sure to check out the website for the full range.

Madam Glam Nail Polish Review | 4 Shades

Posted on June 4, 2015August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Thursday! Today I am excited to share with you four nail polishes from the online store Madam Glam. This online boutique reached out to me and asked if I would like to review some of its products for all of you. When I took a look at what the store had to offer, I had to say yes! Madam Glam sells nail polish in addition to other makeup products. All nail polishes are 5-free and vegan, which is really awesome. Let me go ahead and show you the four shades I tested!

First up is So Nude, a peach-based nude with orange and gold shimmer. So Nude has a watery formula, so I recommend three thin coats for the best results. I thought So Nude was going to be a creme based off the Madam Glam website, but I’m pleasantly surprised with the shimmer. It adds a little something extra to an otherwise neutral polish.

Next up is Lucky Bamboo, a bright pistachio green polish. I unfortunately had a lot of trouble with Lucky Bamboo. It was thick, streaky, and on the goopy side. I layered about 2-3 coats on each nail until I got a clean look. I absolutely love the color of this polish, but I’m disappointed with the formula. I wouldn’t recommend this one unless you really, really wanted this color of nail polish.

Ibiza is the next polish I tried, and it is a blue-green polish with a holographic shimmer. Ibiza has a flawless formula that is opaque in two coats. I’m absolutely loving this one! It’s so beautiful for summer, and is just a stunning color. I can’t wait to put this on again!

Last but not least is Midnight, a deep purple creme polish. Midnight also has an amazing formula that is opaque in two coats. It is richly pigmented, and I’m loving this tone of purple. I think this is a perfect fall color, but can of course be worn any time of year. Midnight is also super shiny without a top coat!

All in all, I’m so glad I got the chance to test out some Madam Glam polishes! While one wasn’t so great, three were awesome! I would definitely try out more in the future, and I’d like to try out some of the other products they offer in the future as well. Madam Glam is a higher end brand, with each polish retailing for $10.95 each on its website HERE. If you purchase 4 or more products, use the code 40OFF at checkout to receive 40% off your order! Talk about great savings!

Please let me know in the comments if you’ve tried anything from Madam Glam! If not, what is at the top of your wish list?!

A England Princess Sabra & Love is Enough from Beautometry.com!

Posted on February 21, 2015August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Saturday! I’m so excited to share with you two new-to-me polishes today. My friend Therese over at the nail polish e-tailer Beautometry sent me some A England shades to review after learning that I didn’t have any in my collection. I thought that was so nice of her, and was thrilled to review some of these coveted polishes. I did try A England Holy Grail way back in the day (you can see that blog post HERE), but it’s no longer in my collection simply because that shade wasn’t for me. Let me go ahead and share the two A Englands that Beautometry sent me!

First up is Princess Sabra from The Legend Collection. Princess Sabra is a beautiful holographic polish that is a golden bronze shade with a hint of olive pigmentation as well. This polish has an excellent formula that applies with ease and is opaque in two coats. I love how strong the holographic effect is, and I definitely recommend Princess Sabra for those of you new to holo polishes. Its neutral base will look good with any skin tone!

Next up is Love is Enough from the Heavenly Quotes Collection. Love is Enough is another unique polish! It is a mix between a glitter and metallic formula, with a greenish-black base and green and gold shimmer. Love is Enough has a good formula that dries amazingly fast. I’m not wearing top coat in the photos, so you can see the super shiny finish. Love is Enough is definitely an edgy polish, and I think it will look awesome paired with a leather jacket!

All in all, I’m so glad I got to try these A England polishes courtesy of Beautometry! They are definitely a specialty brand that I wouldn’t normally use. I’m loving Princess Sabra for every day wear, and Love is Enough when I want something funky. You can purchase these polishes direct from Beautometry for the sale price of $10 each. Please show this small e-tailer some love across the web, and be sure to let me know your favorite A England polishes in the comments!
