Since high school I’ve wondered who has the job of naming OPI nail polishes—and more importantly why is it not me? How exactly do you get that job? Or is there a monthly meeting with all the new colors and the employees sit around a conference table thinking up names like a writer’s room? However it happens, the color’s names are boss, funny, and/or clever which always equals awesome: Let Me Bayou a Drink; Taupe-less Beach; I Am What I Amethyst. Sometimes I run across a nail polish color that sounds like it could be the title of a book which sounded like a fun game. So I made it into a quiz!: Book Title or Nail Polish Color? Or Both?!
