Tried out the Paul & Joe Nail Color #16 The Vert Glace that I picked up at the sale at Isetan Scotts earlier this week. This is part of the earlier nail polish range that has since been discontinued and replaced by the Nail Enamel range.
It is a silvery light metallic olive with tiny silver glitter. The nail polish tends to separate a little in the bottle but this is easily fixed by just shaking the bottle. It applies smoothly without any lumpiness or clumping.
It applies quite sheer on the first coat and needs at least two to three coats for a nice opacity. I only took pics with my index finger because the rest of my nails are in too terrible a shape to show on the blog. When I'm stressed at work, I have a horrible habit of biting my nails. And the last time I showed my nails, some idiot left a comment asking me to stop smoking! FYI, I'm not a smoker.
I liked the Vert Glace very much as it reflects the light very nicely and has a luminous metallic glint. It's also not so pale that it washes out against my skintone.

I am using Paul & Joe nail colors since from long time and I can say it is worth to buy its nail colors. I like the shine of its colors and there are so many different colors available in it.
Thanks for posting!
This is very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Oh Iris,
I thought it's really funny that someone think you are a smoker. ;)
I think I have this P&J nail colour hidding somewhere in my piles of MU. hahahaha Don't bite your nails ok. =) I know 2 french men at work. 1 likes to bite his nails, the other likes to bite his pens. I will never borrow pens from the 2nd man. ;P
hi AhCapp,
I'm using the nail polish to prevent myself from chewing on my nails :-) I spent 20 minutes looking for my new bottle of P&J nail base coat today... and still can't find it, argh!
Hey it's great :)
Maybe I should put P&J nail enamels to my shopping list this month :D
I didn't know their nail enamel quality is that good before.
Thank you for sharing us this one.

Next brand for me will be some Paul & Joe colors, so I'll browse your blog a little more for right colors :)
hi Marte,
Thanks for reading! It's a pity that Anna Sui is not more widely available as it does have such lovely products, especially their accessories like the brush holders which are widely copied.
