Polishspotting for beginners

Did I forget about Rugby Beauty? No, I didn't, but my computer forgot all about me. You never realize how much your computer means to you until it takes it's last gasping breath... Blogging on another computer feels like cheating. Did I tell you I am a geek at heart? Guess I don't have to.
When it comes to nailpolish, I am turning into an even bigger geek than I would ever had imagined:

Polishspotting

Ever found yourself spotting nailpolish in ads, trying to figure out what brands they are? Putting the dvd on pause whenever a nailpolish-bottle flashes by? Realizing you like the show/movie more if it's a polish-brand you recognize? Seeing Drusilla in old Buffy re-runs makes you want to redo her fantastic manicure?

I do it all. Reading the latest InStyle, I don't (just) get caught up in the makeup-pages but I find myself staring at an ad for a chewing gum, trying to figure out why the white polish looks like chewing-gum. Who would use that? And why would they use it as props in an ad?

Atleast Ikea appears to be using polish from this day and age. From the bottle-caps, it looks like native brand Depend. The other 3 brands? Haven't figured it out yet...but I guess I will
