For this post, it is a repeat of Madam Glam in Minty Canvas that I reviewed in May 2017.

Here's a closer look at the packaging. It seems like Madam Glam doesn't carry Minty Canvas anymore.

Here's a closer look at the color. It is brighter on the nails than from the bottle.

Here's a closer look at the brush. Compared to OPI, the brush is thinner but the length is the same. I would say the brush is on the thin side.

I applied OPI Nail Envy in Original, Madam Glam Gelementary Gel-Like Base Coat, two coats of Madam Glam in Minty Canvas, and topped all the nails with Essie Good To Go Top Coat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the brush is on the thin side. It's not my type of brush but it's doable. I just didn't wipe the brush in the inside of the bottle before using. It made it easier to paint each nails, more polish on the brush, instead of re-dipping. I thought I didn't have problems painting around the cuticles and sides, but the pictures say something else. If you are more of an experienced painter, you shouldn't have problems. Secondly, I like the packaging of the bottle. It's simple and clean. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick glass. The top is also sturdy. I can feel a tight seal when I open and close the top. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. It's also easy to hold with one hand. Third, the consistency is creamy and medium. It's not too thick that it's hard to work with. It's also not too thin that it runs while applying. It's a good consistency. You can take your time with painting and it will not get thick with usage. With that said, it's easy to use. It goes on smoothly, and there are no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, the color is a light mint more so on the green side than blue. It's a gorgeous spring/summer color. I also think the color is unique. I haven't seen anything like this or maybe I haven't been looking. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. Two coats were good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, I saw chipping on the sides of the tips on the fifth day. It's very minimal but you can see it if you look closely. I did not see shrinkage whatsoever. I'm so glad I got to try this product. The color is unique and gorgeous. Not only that, it lasts a decent amount of time.

Would repurchase: Yes.
