A friend of mine pointed out to me today the random names the nail polish company "OPI" comes up with. Just browsing through them, I was immediately intrigued to see what color went with a few of these names. Some of them are self explanatory, such as "St. Petersburgundy," "Alpine Snow," or "Holy Pink Pagoda!" But in general, I have absolutely no clue what colors come with most of the names. A few examples are "Hoodoo voodoo?" "Suzi Says Da!" "Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ," "Don't Socra-tease Me," and "My Chihuaua Bites!". So, I decided to conduct a little experiment. I asked Nic and Niya to guess what color they would expect the nail polish to be, just hearing the name, to see if they were close.

Niya: off white

Actual: dark brownish red
