This or That

Besides her vivid imagination, J. K. Rowling is also known for her impressive knowledge of a wide array of subjects. In fact, many of the characters in her Harry Potter works are named after lexicon found in Greek mythology and astrology, among others. You already know Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and maybe even Bathilda Bagshot, but can you distinguish whether or not the names below are a Harry Potter character or a nail polish shade? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premieres next Friday, so to gear up, be sure to take the first Harry Potter character or nail polish shade quiz, too.

OPI's Blushingham Palace ($5), a subtle pink with gold shimmer, is an obvious homage to the British royalty's main residence, Buckingham Palace. But there are plenty of nail polishes on the market that could indeed be mistaken for regal dwellings. So put on your thinking crowns and tell me this: can you guess whether it is (or at one point was) an English royal residence, or is it a cleverly-named nail polish shade?

It's time for cookies, candy, and whatever else kind of confection you can get your hands on. So in the spirit of the season — and in conjunction with the fact that several nail polish brands produce lacquers with delectable-sounding names — it's time for another round of This or That. Orly's Sugar Plum ($7) nail polish might share a name with a certain sugar-coated fruit-flavored candy, but for the items listed below, can you guess if it's a holiday treat or nail polish shade? Find out now.

Now that we're in the heart of cooler, crisper weather, seasonal candies and confections are popping up everywhere. While dentists are likely working overtime to fix the teeth of candy-lovers of all ages, let's take a few moments out for another scintillating This or That quiz. Candy apple, for instance, is not just a crackly sugar-coated treat, but it's also a shimmery pink gloss from Napoleon Perdis's Lip Lacquer line. Do you know your Fall candy treats from your similar-sounding lipstick or lip gloss shades? It's time to take the quiz.

Just as perfume brands are known for their use of dramatic and sexy slogans, in the same right, Danielle Steel is known for her dramatic and sexy novels. Can you guess where I'm going with this one?

As the Dairy Queen's famous Blizzard celebrates its 25th birthday this year, I couldn't help but think that many of these frozen confections probably have names similar to gourmand lip glosses. Dairy Queen may have the Raspberry Truffle on its rotation, but Origins does, too, with its Liquid Lip Color in Raspberry Truffle ($14). Do you see where this is going? It's time for a quiz.
