Pretty and Polished - Elvis' Pink Cadillac

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Afternoon everyone! Today I have an "indie polish" to show you, from one of  my favorite people, Chelsea of Pretty and Polished!
Chelsea is a total sweetie and she makes some great polishes that she sells in her Etsy store.
Her polishes are really taking off so start stalking her shop!


Pretty and Polished - Elvis' Pink Cadillac
This is one of my favorite P&P polishes - a light pink jelly base with small and large black glitter! It's a really unique look.


This is three coats to build the pink base and I love the depth it gives with the different layers of submerged glitter.
But you can also layer it over a light pink to do less coats. (It looks great over OPI's Pink Friday!)


Pretty and Polished's prices are really reasonable - $8 for a full size and $4.50 for a mini.
This one is not in stock right now but it should be back soon!

I have two more P&P shades to show you in the future so keep an eye out for those!

Pretty and Polished Jawbreaker

Posted by Unknown on Saturday, February 18, 2012

This is two coats of Pretty and Polished Jawbreaker with one coat of top coat. I absolutely LOVE this polish. It is (seriously) one of my favorite polishes.... Definitely in the top five!

Chelsea's shop will be restocked by the end of next week (as she is waiting on supplies)!


I stamped on a mix\match design with Kleancolor white and You Mix Cosmetics XL stamping plate I. You Mix Cosmetics is out of stock of these right now, but I have heard they will be restocking some stamping plates soon. I hope this is one of them! 

The ring finger has an extra stamped design. The design was stamped on using Bundle Monster Stamping Plate BM02  and Kleancolor Sapphire.

Pretty and Polished Elvis' Pink Cadillac

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, February 14, 2012

February 14, 2012


This is two coats of Pretty and Polished Elvis' Pink Cadillac. Chelsea is currently sold out of this polish, but it should be back in stock by the end of next week (hopefully)! This polish is a pink jelly polish with small and medium size black glitter.

Then I stamped on a large butterfly with Kleancolor Black and Konad Stamping Plate M25.

Update: Someone on Facebook had a really good question, so I thought I would update my blog post to answer it. She was wondering why my manicure showed none of the larger black hex glitters that are also in the polish. (I assume it was because she was wondering if the larger pieces were difficult to get out of the bottle).

Answer:  I purposely tried not to get the bigger hex glitters because I didn't want it to mask my butterfly stamp... I wanted the lines of the butterfly to be crisp (as the stamp had "a lot" of small detail if that makes sense), and I didn't want the larger pieces to block the lines of the butterfly from underneath or take away from the butterfly. Try and do a google search on the polish name, and see if other bloggers had opinions on whether or not the bigger pieces of black glitter were easy to "fish" out of the bottle. I hope this helps! I have seen many of my polish friends wear this polish, and I have NOT heard anyone say that the bigger black pieces are hard to get out.

Pretty and Polished Power House

Posted by Unknown on Sunday, January 29, 2012

This is two coats of Pretty and Polished Power House. This polish is so pretty, and it is my kind of polish. It is the perfect jelly sandwich without all the layering... Application was flawless and the glitter pieces came out of the bottle so easily and in the perfect amount!

You can visit Chelsea's Etsy shop here. 
You can visit her at her blog.
You can visit Chelsea on her Facebook page too!




Then I stamped on some roses (which I could not photograph very well. They look blurry in the photo but that is because of the reflection of the top coat) with Kleancolor metallic purple and Konad Stamping Plate M65.

I originally wanted to try a combo with OPI Alpine White and Pretty and Polished Sparrow, but my white polishes did not want to cooperate. 

So I did this instead! This is two coats of China Glaze Let's Do It in 3-d (which I purchased from Chelsea as well. She is awesome at dusty hunting. You can check her blog for current HTF polishes that are available.)

Then I added one coat of Pretty and Polished Sparrow. No top coat.


Overall, the polishes are gorgeous!!! I had fun playing with them.  The dry time is average and the application is smooth. In my opinion, the perfect amount of glitter comes out on the brush for each coat. My favorites from the collection are Sparrow and Inked. The combinations with this collection are endless!

Pretty and Polished 3 Golden Rules + Lynnderella Change

Posted by Unknown on Thursday, December 29, 2011

December 29, 2011


This is two coats of Pretty and Polished 3 Golden Rules and one coat of top coat. Isn't it beautiful?! Stay tuned... Tomorrow, I have a review of Pretty and Polished new collection, Sparkle Tattoo, which will be available on her Etsy shop January 1st!

Then I added one coat of Lynnderella Change with one coat of top coat. It looked fabulous in person, but the flare of the top coat kinda ruins it in the picture. So I fixed it by making it matte with one coat of Essie Matte About You! Now you can see how gorgeous it is in the photo without the nasty glare.




You can purchase Lynnderella polishes at LLAROWE or from Lynnderella's blog (when they are available).

 Today, I have another franken polish for you. Isn't it beautiful?! This is two coats of Pretty and Polished Xmas Wreath and one coat of top coat.
