Ogilvy & Mather worked with food technologists at McCormick, the spice company that provides KFC’s secret mix of 11 secret herbs and spices, to crate the nail polishes for KFC Hong Kong. T

So, yes, it tastes like chicken—at least, the coated stuff KFC sells.

“To use, consumers simply apply and dry like regular nail polish, and then lick—again and again and again,” the brand said in a statement.

“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,” says Ogilvy creative director John Koay. “This campaign is designed to be intriguing and fun to increase excitement around the KFC brand in Hong Kong.”

While it’s only available in Hong Kong right now, whichever flavor become more popular will end up in mass production.
