Collection: KFC 2016 Summer, Edible Nail Polish
Big thanks to Rachael at Helpless Whilst Drying for the heads up on this awesome new line of nail polish!
KFC—yes, the FRIED CHICKEN company—has released chicken-flavored nail polish in Hong Kong.
Part of me feels like they’re over a month late for April Fool’s Day, but the other part is dying to get my greasy hands on these polishes, which come in Original Recipe and Hot & Spicy.

It’s a huge shame to hear, however, that the polishes “are entirely made of edible ingredients: spice blends suspended in starch, with vegetable gum added so they stick to your finger nails for a day or so, according to a spokeswoman at Ogilvy & Mather Hong Kong, the advertising agency behind the polishes.
“With no preservatives, each batch – made by spice company McCormick in Singapore – must be refrigerated and lasts for only five days.”—BBC UK
What were they thinking?! Awwww. Guess I won’t be getting to try these, after all.
Whatever. I like Popeye’s better, anyway!
Ben actually sent this to me and I thought it was a belated april fools until I saw the date too! I’d normally be interested in that Peachy flesh toned shade, but for some reason now I know it’s a chickeny shade I think I lean more towards Hot & Spicy!
Thoroughly ridiculous!

It’s a shame they missed a trick and made it perishable! LOL. Hot & Spicy was definitely the one for me. Sigh. I was all excited thinking they could expand with Coleslaw and Biscuits & Gravy. 😀

Ooh I think Coleslaw would be a pretty speckled glitter with white, orange and purple!

Ideally, yeah, and what you described sounds amazing! But have you seen KFC coleslaw?! XD It’s be like a watery, whitened fluorescent green sheer. Unless you guys get better KFC coleslaw in the UK, which would not surprise me in the least! Believe it or not, KFC Canada is actually worse than KFC USA. I think it’s blander. I tried KFC in the Caribbean and it was quite spicy and pretty awesome!

Just the thought of a flavored nail polish is kinda cool but not chicken flavor though.. Maybe orange or apple flavor perhaps sounds “good”. But I am not sure about KFC flavor.. Haha and sadly I don’t like KFC here (US) though I love the KFC back home (Philippines).. And I am with you on Popeyes chicken.. They are good! The spicy one is my fave.. (Now I’m hungry) 😍😍😫

It’s like when there’s a savoury flavoured candy (popcorn, bacon) – it JUST doesn’t work!

I read about this somewhere too and figured it had to be a joke. Who wants this?
