Don't Leave Home without your Nail Polish

I like to paint my nails and I get a kick out of the polish names that OPI comes up with. For example, I recently bought one called Nomad's Dream. It makes my nails blend in with my skin. I think if my toenails were buried in sand at the beach, they would be hard to find. I wonder if that's how OPI came up with the name. Nomad's wandering across the Sahara on camel kind of blend into the scenery, too.

But Nomad's Dream is a pretty tame name compared to the other names OPI comes up with. Every so often, the company comes out with a new color collection and some of those collections are based on place names. Someone in OPI's creative department is obviously a traveler.

From the Japanese collection, my favorite name is "Osaka-To-Me Orange."

From the South American collection, I like "La Paz-itively Hot."

From the European collection, I like (and this may very well be my favorite) "Would You Like a Lick-Tenstein?"

From the Mexican collection, I like "Tijuana Dance?"

From the Australian collection, I like "Canberra't Without You."

From the Russian collection, I like "St. Petersburgundy."

The Canadian collection has a bunch of great names, like "At Your Quebec & Call," "You Ottaware Purple," "Don't Wine... Yukon Do It!," "Paint Your Toron-Toes Rose."
