Alessandro - Strawberry Mint

Creamy scented pink creme





Strawberry Mint is part of a special Ice Cream Bar themed collection of polish and hand cream from Alessandro from 2012.  All the polishes are scented.

Strawberry Mint is a lovely creamy pink colour with a lovely shiny finish, but unfortunately it's not all good news with this polish.

This polish had a very odd formula, it was very opaque but also weirdly streaky

I ended up with 3 coats on this swatch to get opaqueness

As the scent? It smells of strawberry mint! To be fair,  more strawberry than mint and it's definitely a strawberry ice-cream smell than actual strawberries but not unpleasant.

Paul & Joe 15 aka La Revue?


Coral/pink jelly with super secret shimmer

After the fail of Soleil I didn't hold out much hope for this one but it was a little better.


La Revue is a jelly coral/pink with super secret shimmer





Again it was runny but not quite as bad as Soleil and look how shiny it is.

Swatch shown is 3 coats with no top coat.  It's not fully opaque at 3 coats but it does look worse in the photos.

Oddly this polish also seemed to be scented - can anyone confirm that Paul & Joe do scented polish?
