Kentucky Fried Chicken just got literal with their slogan, "Finger Lickin' Good." The company will test a new line of edible nail polish, which mimics the taste of KFC's chicken. That's right. Wearers can actually lick their fingers and get the same flavor as fried chicken. 

If you're wondering how it works, let the brand's statement shine a light on things. "To use, consumers simply apply and dry like regular nail polish, and then lick—again and again and again," according to AdWeek.

The nail polish comes in two different colors with different flavors. There's orange for "Hot & Spicy" and what can only be described as crispy chicken (really more of a tan color) for "Original." New York-based marketing firm Ogilvy and Mather partnered with food scientists at McCormick, the company responsible for KFC's secret spice recipe, to come up with the two flavors. 

The polish will first be tested in Hong Kong in order to determine the most popular flavor for mass production and consumption.

In the meantime, there's a snazzy launch video to showcase the new product. You probably didn't realize you needed a beat boxing couple showing off their fancy chicken nail polish, but you're getting it anyway.
