What's in a Name?

As Shakespeare's Juliet once said,

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Well let me tell you what's in a name.. A LOT! Especially when it comes to picking out your manicure color.

When I pick out a nail polish at the nail salon, it is like making a life or death decision. Such importance placed on the very hue! It could inspire my outfit choices (and mood) for the entire week! A great nail polish name can make or break the final decision. For example, I was about to choose a soft melon Essie tone when I flipped it over and it read "Clambake". Yuck. Clammy McClammerstein. I just wasn't feelin' it..

So I opted for a muted lilac called "Miss Matched" instead. Waaaayyy cuter. And I must give props where props are due, to OPI for the legendary color AND name, Lincoln Park After Dark. Me & Linx have been going steady now for a good three winter seasons.
