Barack Obama has an online store selling a whole range of products including the nail polish set, alongside T-shirts that say ‘#progress’, ‘Made in the USA’ and ‘Team Obama’. There’s even jewellery, bumper stickers and dog collars – that no doubt Bo (the president’s dog) had a paw in designing.

The nail set includes three nail polishes which are, of course, red, white and blue. Red-y to Win is by far the best pun, with the polish being a American flag red. Bo Blue is a ‘shimmering sapphire’ according to the website, while Victory White, which we think should have been called ‘Victory White (house)’ – they missed a trick there, is ‘for everyday wear’. The polishes come in a chic black make-up bag emblazoned with the Obama logo.

I don’t know about you, but we think the UK’s coalition need to up their beauty game. Would you wear a coalition coral on your nails, a Lib Dem yellow, or say a Sam Cam Tan shade?
