Maybe Chanel started it with its burnt-burgundy Vamp nail polish. Maybe the cosmetics industry finally found a way to co-opt grunge. Whichever, names for cosmetic colors are getting a lot less glamorous. Poppy offers a lipstick called Vanity. Hard Candy has one called Porno and another called Navel. But for names that really scream grotesque, it's tough to beat Urban Decay, whose new fall colors for lips, eyes and nails include Rust, Gash, Gangrene, Vapor and Toxin.
