Models Own Fruit Pastels vs. Ice Cream Sundae, swatches and comparison

Today I'll show you 4 of the 5 scented Models Own Fruit Pastels - and I will do a comparison with the similar colors from last years Ice Cream Sundae collection. 

Thumb: Beth’s Blue from the “Ice Cream Sundae” collection, the rest are from the scented collection “Fruit Pastels” index: Banana Split, middle: Apple Pie, ring: Blueberry Muffin, little: Grape Juice. 

All are shown in 2 coats and without any top coat.

 

 

The bottles from the Ice Cream Sundae coll. compared with the bottles from the Furit Pastels, that have "Scented" printed on the caps.
The following photos show the color from the Ice Cream Sundae to the left and the Fruit Pastels to the right:

 Lemon Meringue - Banana Split

 Jaded Stone - Apple Pie

 Beth's Blue - Blueberry Muffin

Lilac Dream - Grape Juice

No dupes here - and I love them all, so I'm happy!!
Normally I do not like scented polishes, but these are actually OK. The Apple Pie and Blueberry Muffin has the strongest scent, and the scent stays in the polish even after a few days.
