In this relaxed studio day, I’m unboxing and testing a bunch of new Madam Glam goodies in real time—builder gels, gel paints, and the February “I Am Loved” bundle—so you can actually see how they perform while I swatch and play. I go through the shades I think are the most “different” in the bundle (like that orangey-red rusty shimmer and the milky off-white that gives a pinky chrome vibe), plus I show two extra picks I grabbed: Positive Tomato (because how did I not own it?) and Holo Lover, which is basically a nude holographic dream. Then we get into the main event: the NEW pearlescent builder gels. I crack open all five and do quick test swatches, paying attention to self-leveling, brush-stroke holding, and how you can manipulate the top layer for that pearly, shell-like effect. I show you my go-to little trick—flip the nail upside down to let the gel pull to the center, then lightly swirl the surface with a toothpick (seriously, keep toothpicks in your studio). I also check the cure times on the website and share what Madam Glam recommends, because with builder gel, curing properly matters. By the end, I’m already dreaming up easy marble sets for Easter with these pearls.
