25 Best Nail Polish Names EverSure, Ben & Jerry's has some unforgettable flavor names, but nothing beats the clever puns you read on the bottom of a nail polish bottle |
0 of 26
You go in for a mani/pedi and you spend a good 10 minutes eyeing colors you like, turning over the tiny glass bottles to see what's written on the bottom. If the nail polish name is a lame pun or just doesn't fit your personality (too girly, too silly, not enough sass) it goes right back on the shelf.
Skip ahead to see the best nail polish names of all time.
After all, half of the fun of flaunting a fresh paint job is getting to throw out a clever quip or cool name when someone inevitably asks what you're wearing. (Oh this? "I'm not Really A Waitress.")
This is also why you probably steer clear of anything that might be little bit embarrassing. I love Deborah Lippmann's deep red shade but I can never find the courage to brag about being one of the "Single Ladies" (Sorry, Beyoncé). Plus, maybe it's just me, but I don't want to risk giving myself bad dating karma, either.
My motto has always been: the funnier the better. But that doesn't mean there aren't some fantastic names that simply describe the shade perfectly -- like China Glaze's Tiffany-blue hue called "For Audrey" or Chanel's well, vampy, shade "Vamp."
From the well-played double entendres to the spot-on color descriptors, we compiled the top 25 nail polish names of all time. Keep clicking to see if one of your favorites made the list.

I love Essie's nail polish names and colors, but I haven't tried any yet. I've seen Barefoot and Topless swatched before though and I have to try it! The perfect nude color!
