Seriously though - what were they thinking?!!

What might be cool, though, is if you actually incorporated the nail polish into the ceremony. Like, you could go in with the shade “I Do,” then right after you leave the ceremony you could paint your nails “Wedding Bells,” and then before your first dance, you could put on the “First Dance” shade… It could be performance art!

At least they’re cheap though - they could have gone with the usual “bridal markup” and made them $40 each…

This notice/advert immediately made me think that she must have been writing in suggestions to the bridal mags. *grin*

I love the names of Manic Panic dyes and nail polish. I have a gunmetal grey called Hell’s Belles.
