the names make some colors better than others of the almost exact shade... you know how they have one color that seems to be exactly the same as another? pick the best name lol

I always love the funny nail polish names. I wonder what the job title isof the person doing that at the companies.

I've always wanted the job of naming the nail polish colors!

I never used , i need to try:)

I love Essie's nail polish names and colors, but I haven't tried any yet. I've seen Barefoot and Topless swatched before though and I have to try it! The perfect nude color!

I love this color and the names of Essie's nail polishes are super fun to look at

What makes these so much better than any others?

When im at the store i read the names to all the nail polish.

I love these names. I have been known, when deciding between two very similar shades, to pick the one with the better name.

My fave nail polish name is OPI you don't know Jacques!

haha, really inspired and funny. i always loved essie's names, like "limited addiction" ;)

Love OPI and Essie nail polishes. The names are just an added bonus!

by nursesuz77 Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 06:29PM Report as inappropriate

Most of these names suck, as do many of the colours. And it figures you would only focus on expensive nail polish.

Very cute!

Love the color. Always look at names before I buy.

Spa Ritual's Hunk of Burnin' Love is my to go polish. The name always puts me in a better mood.

by Sari Friday, February 22, 2013 at 03:59AM Report as inappropriate

Ha ha! I loved this! I will admit, I do take the name of the polish into consideration when buying it. I just love fun names and there were plenty of them listed here!

i love all the colors.. opi and essie are great nail polishes

by jenni84 Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 09:19AM Report as inappropriate

I love the names 'I have a herring problem' and 'gobsmacked!'

by WiccanLady Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 05:31PM Report as inappropriate

OPI, hands down, has historically had the best names ever for nail lacquer. The others all pale in comparison

love these!

opi "colors" always bring a smile to my face at the nail salon :)

by jenstar313 Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 10:36AM Report as inappropriate

These color names are creative and hilarious. I prefer the brand sinful colors which is a ton cheaper, has pretty good quality and some interesting names as well.
