My Dream Job: Naming Nail Polish

"What's your dream job?"

I'm always getting asked that question. Maybe because I'm 23, and in the world's eyes it's my time. The world is my oyster and I'm supposed to be chasing after my dreams and figure out what I'm doing with my life. Well I've finally decided...my dream job would be to name nail polish (so ambitious).

Who does that anyway? I'm so jealous. I mean, I'm sure that's not all they do. But how cool would it be to have that job?

"So what do you do for a living?"
"I name nail polish."

Not that it's an easy job...you have to be creative, innovative, quirky, etc. I want to meet the person who names OPI's nailpolish. What a dreamy job...thinking of cool names and getting an endless supply of the nail polish you're naming. It's such an inspirational position to be in. I mean, whenever I'm feeling uninspired, all I have to do is walk into Sephora and look at OPI nailpolish. Seriously, their names get me so excited. Here are some examples (try to imagine the colors!):

Get in the Expresso Lane
I Eat Mainely Lobster

Miami Beet

I Think in Pink
Mimosas for Mr. & Mrs.
Chick Flick Cherry
That's My Fuschia Husband!

The Way TuTu His Heart
Traffic Stopper Copper

Once a Cheetah, Always a Cheetah
Hippo to Be Square
Fiercely Fabulous

Sometimes I'm not sure whether I want to buy OPI's nail polish because of its actual color, or because it has a cute name. Man, talk about good labeling. I mean, we buy nail polish for its color, not its name, right? No one will ever say to you (except maybe me?), "Oh my gosh, are you wearing Hippo to Be Square!?" *Sigh* No one will ever even know it had such a cute name. Oh well...at least I know & I looooove it!
