MN nail polish boycott

138 replies

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?

What colour is 'cocklodger'?

RJnomore1 · 30/12/2016 20:06

It's a purple.

OverScentedFanjo · 30/12/2016 20:13

Opi polishes have really cringy names. When I used them at work, I hated telling people the name.

Really bad.

Normally each range would have a susie in it. We used to place bets as to what she would be doing in the next colour range.

Suzi takes the wheel, suzi is Hungary, all cobblers

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 30/12/2016 20:17

There could be a cocklodger range in a variety of smug flesh tones with veiny bits running through them. A Lovely gift set for the woman in your life.

Slightly related - I bought a lip gloss from Avon in a colour called Pink Pucker (yes, really). I liked it, but I had to take the label with the name off - I didn't want anybody's Pink Pucker that close to my lips.

Do all lipsticks, eye shadows, nail polishes, etc. have names or do some brands just number them?

AmberStClare · 30/12/2016 21:24
