MN nail polish boycott

AIBU that we should start a MN boycott of Essie nail polish? Just bought a pack of it in the sale that's supposed to be their bridal collection (good colours for work). One of the colours is called 'Hubby for Dessert'. Surely we could lead a MN revolt against such an awful name. Maybe pledge our allegiance to OPI instead and try to persuade them to do a MN range with such shades as LTB and Did You Mean To Be So Rude?

AIBU? is a colour changing polish that will change each time you meet someone.

It will suit you on the day they are in a good mood, this is the YANBU shade. The YABU shade will appear when they are in a shitty mood, have period pain or just because they feel like being a bitch that day. That colour will be a mix of all the worst colours in the whole world, it will bleed onto your fingers so it looks like it was applied by a blind monkey, and as soon as you touch anything you will break at least one of your nails
