I do strange things when I'm trying to avoid working. Like Googling OPI nail polish just to read the new names of their nail polishes. I know, right? But I found this one and it made me think of the Bees. It's called NO BEES PLEASE. Catchy, right?
So it got me wondering if I could find some nail polish names that reminded me of my books(REVENGE OF THE HOMECOMING QUEEN, TWISTED SISTERS). I found quite a few.
FIT FOR A QUEENSLAND
I'M A PRINCESS, YOU'RE NOT
iT'S ALL GREEK TO ME
PRINCESSES RULE
WHO ARE YOU WEARING?
Then I stumbled onto a few that reminded me of Tera's book:(OH. MY. GODS.)
APHRODITES PINK NIGHTIE
DON'T SOCRA-TEASE ME!
MELON OF TROY
TI-TAN YOUR TOGA
I kept seeing all these Chicago ones and thought of Simone and her books: (HOW TO RUIN..LEAVING PARADISE, PERFECT CHEMISTRY)
CHICAGO CHAMPAGNE TOAST
WINDY CITY PRETTY
ROMEO & JULIET
THE GRAPE LAKES
TICKETS TO PARADISE
ALL LACQUERED UP
These reminded me of Marley's books:(ZETA OR OMEGA? THE NEW SISTERS)
PEARLS NIGHT OUT
CHICK FLICK CHERRY
SWEET MEMORIES
I couldn't forget Tina's books:(TOP TEN USES FOR AN UNWORN PROM DRESS)
CONEY ISLAND COTTON CANDY
DRESS TO EMPRESS
WHO NEEDS A PRINCE?
TIJUANA DANCE?
GOT A DATE TO-KNIGHT
Dona's books:(HOW TO SALSA IN A SARI, SHRINK TO FIT)
BIKINI ENVY
CURRY UP, DON'T BE LATE
It was harder with Heather's(NEVER CRY WEREWOLF) since I haven't read the book or seen a cover yet but I gave it a shot:
YOU ROCK-APULCO RED!
GIVE ME THE MOON
Okay, so now you know what I do to avoid work. Are you a sucker for these nail polish names like I am? And what is your favorite way to procrastinate?
xo,

OMG, I love this! Years ago, a friend gave me a spa pedicure gift certificate where I had my first sighting of OPI nail polish (and their super-clever names). The polish rack was beside my spa chair and I went absolutely nuts, laughing and ooohing and aaahing over the clever names. I finally had to explain to the baffled technician that I was sorta a word freak. :)
P.S. NO BEES PLEASE aside, I think our blog shade should be WE'RE THE BEE'S KNEES.
Cute post, Steph! OPI does have creative polish names. I've only had my nails done a few times in my life, but I have such a hard time choosing between all the fun colors when I go. I know what kind of mood I am in then, but who's to say whether I'm in a turquoise, red, or hot pink mood for the next few days? :)
How fun, Steph! I've been in love with OPI for years (they and ESSIE are my two faves). I actually have (or had?) APHRODITE'S PINK NIGHTIE!
I also claim DANCING IN THE ISLES for my own and I'm loving WHO COMES UP WITH THESE NAMES?
Speaking of colors as opposed to names, my toes are currently painted a beautiful Caribbean shade of blue. Bet Tina and Steph can guess why ... (shhh)
Having never even heard of OPI polishes, I'll stick with the tried and true shades -- Oak tree, followed closely by Maple tree.
LOL, Chuck!
Love this post! I'm wearing Pearls Night Out right now! = )
TLC, I have Dancing in the Isles too.
Marley, I can't believe you are wearing Pearls Night out, crazy coincedence!
Chuck, I think you should paint your toes blue. :)
Tina, I had never heard the saying Bee's Knees before I read Melissa Walker's Violet series, but I agree! :)
