Kentucky Fried Chicken took their known tagline of finger lickin' good quite literally as they released their own nail polish line in Hong Kong. KFC introduced two chicken-flavoured nail polishes, Original & Hot and Spicy. Food scientists at McCormick (KFC's spice supplier) collaborated with the nail polish producer to create these polishes. The polishes dry with a glossy shine, and are claimed to last for three days with regular licking. As for whether or not the nail polishes are finger lickin' good, quite a few have said "gross".
