KFC Just Released a Line of Fried-Chicken Tasting Nail Polishes

Any true nail maven knows that eating finger food with a fresh manicure usually doesn’t work out. However, KFC has found a way to change that. The restaurant is introducing a nail polish collection—yes you read that correctly—that not only includes a variety of colors, but different flavors as well. According to Marie Claire, “original recipe” and “hot and spicy” are a couple of examples of the lickable polishes. 


According to a press release sent to Racked, the fried chicken-famous company acknowledged, “KFC’s signature flavors – Original Recipe and Hot & Spicy – have been carefully formulated from natural ingredients into edible nail polish and packaged in a stylish glass bottle and minimal box with over gloss details to appeal to young consumers’ love of food and fashion.”

The directions for the nail polish seem pretty simple, according to the same press release: “Simply apply and dry like regular nail polish and then lick—again and again and again to taste why the world’s favourite chicken is Finger Lickin’ Good.”

Currently, the nail polish is only available in Hong Kong, reports AdWeek. Consumers there are being given the opportunity to relay their thoughts on which flavor would be best to start with when KFC expands the line.

Until then, we’ll just have to wait for our nails to dry before digging in.
