While KFC may be best known for fried chicken, it looks like the fast food chain is now surprisingly breaking into the beauty game. According to AdWeek<\/em><\/a>, KFC Hong Kong has officially released a line of edible nail polishes which draw their inspiration from the chain\u2019s seasoned poultry.<\/p>\n

The two nail lacquers come in a beige Original Recipe flavour and an orange red Hot & Spicy shade. Staying true to the brand\u2019s \u201cIt\u2019s Finger Lickin’ Good” slogan, the polish claims to be safe for consumption- which means that it can literally be licked.<\/p>\n

AdWeek<\/em> reports that spice brand McCormick (which is responsible for KFC\u2019s secret combination of 11 herbs and spices) joined forces with marketing company Ogilvy & Mather. Apparently, the nail polishes are natural, offer a glossy coat and also have a slight shimmer.<\/p>\n

“The recipe for our edible nail polish is unique and was specifically designed to hold the flavor, but to also dry with a glossy coat similar to normal nail polish,” said Ogilvy creative director John Koay, in a statement to AdWeek<\/em>.<\/p>\n
