If you're a fan of Colonel Sander's tasty wings then you'll love Kentucky Fried Chicken's new flavored nail polish. No, that was not a typo. The fast-food chain is entering the beauty industry to help promote the company's Hong Kong restaurants, and the brand is bringing that secret recipe along.
KFC's first venture into the cosmetics world includes two limited-edition nail polishes. Each one is appropriately named after the brand's best-selling formulas: Original Recipe and Hot & Spicy. The Original shade is a taupe neutral that shimmers like the skin on a freshly fried chicken leg, and Hot & Spicy comes in a fiery orange that resembles hot sauce. Are you hungry yet? Because, I am.
The chicken references don't stop there. Each one is literally "finger lickin' good" because they are both edible. Yes, you can get a taste of the 11 herbs and spices by running your tongue across your nails. "To use, consumers simply apply and dry like regular nail polish, and then lick—again and again and again," KFC explained in a statement. I could totally use this when I'm starving at work . A quick lick of my manicure, and I'll feel like I'm eating a crispy KFC wing. Why didn't someone think of this idea sooner?
According to Adweek , McCormick, the spice company that formulates the chicken's secret ingredients, also helped to make sure the mouth-watering recipe was just right. And just because the polish is packed with a whole lot of flavor doesn't mean the brand skipped out on the beauty details. Each shade will dry with a shiny finish just like regular polishes.
This sounds weirdly interesting, especially for all the beauty and food lovers. Now all we have to do is figure out a way to import these babies from Hong Kong.
