OPI nailpolish-namer is the best job in the whole universe. Personal favorites include "I'm Not Really a Waitress" and "Wyatt Earple Purple." Do you think they'd let us work from home in our jammies naming OPI polish? A job designing coats for English bulldogs would be a very close second.

Beware of "I'm Not Really A Waitress" My friend always wears that color. One day she was at a restaurant and the waitress commented that she really liked the color and what was it. My friend was totally embarassed saying the name of the color.
