tanlines song or nail-polish name?

surprisingly hard to tell

by nylon

Whoever comes up with nail-polish names could be a song-title editor—and vice versa. The more poetic, the better. Some bands keep the song titles simple, while others, like Tanlines, let its song titles tell a story, in and of itself. And as one final hurrah before the boys’ final stop on the Original Penguin x Nylon Guys Summer Music Tour, we wanted to play a game: Tanlines song or nail polish? We present a phrase, you guess whether it’s a song or quirky nail-polish name. The answer is on the next slide. Bonne chance!
