I am fortunate to work with Madam Glam.

I took this picture from my Instagram. I already reviewed Madam Glam in Minty Canvas (third from the left) and Madam Glam in Kiss Me Now (first from the left). For this post, I will review the polish fourth from the left.
This is Madam Glam in More Diamonds Please. Since I did a thorough review of Madam Glam in Make A Wish, I will base this on that. I looked on the website and I cannot seem to find this polish. Either it's sold out or discontinued.
Here's a closer look at the color.
Here's a closer look at the brush. Compared to my favorite OPI brush, the length is the same. The width is thinner. I would say it's in-between thin to medium.
I applied OPI Nail Envy in Original and Formula X Prime Xcel Base Coat on all my fingers. Then I applied two coats of INGLOT in #390 on all my fingers except ring, and two coats of Madam Glam in More Diamonds Please on ringer finger and the tip of the middle finger. Topped it off with Formula X Shine Xcel Top Coat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the brush is in-between thin to medium. I usually prefer medium to full size brushes. They're just quicker to paint each nail, three strokes and you're done. Even though it's more than three strokes, I actually like the brush. It was easy to paint around the cuticles and sides. Secondly, I like the packaging. I've always been a fan of Madam Glam packaging. It's simple, sturdy, well-made, and easy to grab onto. It's also small enough to carry and put in your bag, pocket, and so on. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. Third, the consistency is on the medium. As for a glitter, it's slightly sheer for the first coat. You need a good two coats for it to fill the whole nail bed. With that said, it went on smoothly and there were no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, it's a gorgeous color. It really does look like diamonds! It's shiny, out there, bling bling, and whatever you want to say. With that said, it'll look great all year round. You can use it on all your nails or as an accent color like I did. Not only that, I love the multiple colors. It really does look 3-dimensional. Pigmented-wise it's pretty decent. You do need two coats for it to show on the nail beds. Lastly, I saw no shrinkage whatsoever. On the seventh day, I noticed slight chipping at the sides of the tips. Since it's so shiny, it's hard to notice the chipping. I had to examine it under a light bulb to nice the slight chipping. It did take some effort to remove but that's expected with glitter polishes. I just soaked the nails with cotton pads with remover a little bit longer than usual. It came off better that way than just rubbing it. I never had problems with Madam Glam polishes. They're pretty and long lasting. What more can I ask for!

Would repurchase: Yes.
