Finally, there is some good news for people wanting edible nail polish.

Fried chicken chain KFC, whose slogan is “finger lickin’ good,” is rolling out two flavors to customers in Hong Kong: ”original,” which has a beige color, and “Hot & Spicy,” which is red.

According to CNN, all you have to do is paint the polish on, let it dry, and lick away.

"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 John Koay, creative director for Ogilvy & Mather, which is partnering with KFC in the effort.

"This campaign is designed to be intriguing and fun to increase excitement around the KFC brand in Hong Kong," Koay said in an interview with CNN.

The nail polish is reportedly made from “natural ingredients.”

Customers are being asked to choose their favorite from the two, and KFC plans to mass produce the winner.

Here's how KFC is promoting the nail polish:
