Pretty & Polished Bombshell and Mr. President

Pretty & Polished - Muncie, IN

Hello all you lacquer lovers!

Today I have 2 of the newly released polishes from Pretty & Polished Gentlemen Prefer Blondes collection. A Marilyn Monroe inspired collection is a set of 6 shades. As a Marilyn Monroe lover, I can surely appreciate this collection and the names of each polish are adorable and spot on.


"I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it."
                                 -Marilyn Monroe


Mr President



Pretty & Polished Mr President is a nail polish inspired by Marilyn Monroe's song to President John F. Kennedy on May 19th 1962. This was one of Monroe's last major public appearances. It is rumored that Monroe and President Kennedy had an affair which gives the sultry song another layer of meaning.



This clear based polish is PACKED full of different shaped glitters of red, white and blue. From hex to round to bar and hearts, this baby is GORGEOUS! 

My photo's are pictured with 2 layers of Mr. President over Barielle Big Apple Red with top coat. Super fast dry time and the application was a breeze. This girl absolutely knows what she will be wearing on her nails for Independence Day!



“Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” 
                                                                                      -Marilyn Monroe






“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” 
                                                        -Marilyn Monroe





Bombshell



Pretty & Polished Bombshell was inspired by the hit TV Series "Smash". This polish has a black base and is packed with so many different kinds of glitters Pretty & Polish couldn't even begin to explain them all!


This black based, almost jelly polish is packed full with a plethora of neon colored glitter. From square to hex, from rectangle to circle, this polish is stunning. Due to the huge amount of glitter, this polish is on the thicker side. Great application and coverage. 

My photo's are pictured here wearing 3 thin coats of Bombshell with a top coat. Very fast dry time was a plus too!



“I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.” 
                                                 - Marilyn Monroe




These two polishes are stunning and are truly a must have. I definitely recommend them, especially if you are a fan of Ms. Marilyn Monroe! The products comes in a 15mL bottle with 2 stainless steel bb's. 
The polishes are 3 free, cruelty free and can be purchased for $9 each!
