I dream of being a professional nail polish namer

I want to be a Professional Nail Polish Namer.

Yeah, I AM serious. :)

I’d love to use my creativity in some fun, obscure way AND sell it to the masses.

I recently read this in the LA Times:

“L.A.-based nail polish company OPI is arguably the pioneer in giving lacquers off-the-wall names. “We got into nail color in 1989, when colors were ‘Red No. 19′ or ‘Mauve No. 7.’ It wasn’t sexy and it wasn’t fun,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI executive vice president and artistic director. “We made it into an emotional experience and named the colors after destinations.”

Weiss-Fischmann and her creative team take inspirational trips to get ideas for each collection. The name that ends up on the bottom of each bottle is generally a riff on something like a landmark or food they experienced while traveling. They regroup back at OPI’s North Hollywood headquarters, where about six people sit in a closed door meeting. Attendees bring food and other items of inspiration based on the collection’s destination or theme. Naming a collection of 12 shades takes six to eight hours.”

Sooooooo……..anyone want to join my team? We’ll meet every month, drink whiskey and come up with really sarcastic names. Sound good? ;-)

Let’s start with a few now:
