Be honest: You totally judge a nail polish by its name.
You go in for a mani/pedi and you spend a good 10 minutes eyeing colors you like, turning over the tiny glass bottles to see what's written on the bottom. If the nail polish name is a lame pun or just doesn't fit your personality (too girly, too silly, not enough sass) it goes right back on the shelf.
After all, half of the fun of flaunting a fresh paint job is getting to throw out a clever quip or cool name when someone inevitably asks what you're wearing. (Oh this? "I'm not Really A Waitress.")
This is also why you probably steer clear of anything that might be little bit embarrassing. I love Deborah Lippmann's deep red shade but I can never find the courage to brag about being one of the "Single Ladies" (Sorry, Beyoncé). Plus, maybe it's just me, but I don't want to risk giving myself bad dating karma, either.
My motto has always been: the funnier the better. But that doesn't mean there aren't some fantastic names that simply describe the shade perfectly -- like China Glaze's Tiffany-blue hue called "For Audrey" or Chanel's well, vampy, shade "Vamp."
From the well-played double entendres to the spot-on color descriptors, we compiled the top 25 nail polish names of all time. Keep clicking to see if one of your favorites made the list.
