Preview of my new polish line!

I've been thinking about designing my very own line of nail polish for a long time, but there are so many indie polish brands now that I really had to think of a way to make my creations stand out in the crowd. Elbow deep into a half-empty bag of Doritos one night, I observed my cheese-dust-stained fingertips with a mixture of awe and disgust and I thought to myself... That's it. I've finally found my inspiration. FLAVORED NAIL POLISH. Kinda like scented nail polish, except instead of just stinking, it tastes like stuff too!

Nail biters, are you sick of the bad taste of normal nail polish? Flavored polish is your answer. Love scented polish, but disappointed that it doesn't taste good also? Flavored polish. Counting calories, but in need of a snack that won't add to your total? Flavored polish. Genius idea, right?? Flavored polish is fat-free, sugar-free, zero carb, and zero calorie. Great taste, less filling! Plus, it makes your nails look real purdy.

The colors are all still in the development phase, but these are the prototypes I have so far:

Homestyle Ranch. The base is a creamy buttermilk white with flecks of fresh cracked pepper and a mixture of eleven secret herbs and spices.


Nacho Cheese. A vivid, unnaturally delicious nacho cheese orange, artificially colored with Annatto and FD&C Yellow #6.



Tangy Barbecue. A molasses and brown sugar base with a bit of tomato and a smoky finish.



Spicy Buffalo Wing. A red hot, vinegar-soaked cayenne pepper. Gives me heartburn just looking at it.


Honey Mustard. A spicy deli mustard yellow with honey for sweetness and just a slight amount of creaminess to pull it all together.

These flavored polishes have a texture that seems like regular nail polish, but it has a secret, patented, space-age formula that allows it to taste good when you lick it. It's extremely high-tech and definitely does not involve pouring the leftover dust from bags of chips into bottles of nail polish. Crazy advanced super secret formula. There's no other polish like this, so please don't attempt to taste or eat any other brand of nail polish. Seriously. Don't eat nail polish.

Now, I haven't been able to come up with a good name for the brand. Tasty Tips? Delicious Digits? Flavored Phalanges by Scrangie? Nacho Mama's Nail Polish. Edible to the Eponychium. Still working on that one.

These are all still prototypes, but I'm aiming for a release date of December 21, 2012. Please click here if you'd like to get on the waiting list!

  20. Now we need to know which polishes you used as the descriptions helped us to develop a lemming or 2

    ReplyDelete
  21. Wow, what an amazing and innovative idea! I already can not wait to try this!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Awesome post, best of luck on the new line. I'm sure there are lemmings there for everyone! I can't wait to try the spicy buffalo myself.

    Oh, and happy April first to you. Great way to start the day ;)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Awww. I thought if I clicked on that link I would be rickroll'd again :D

    Flavoured nailpolish is a great idea, though haha!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Had I not seen a video of an AF joke 5 minutes ago, I'd have absolutely fallen for this. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. ROFL. Perfect release date, too. You know your market!

    ReplyDelete
  26. ha ha very good Scrangie, wonder how many people will fall for this!

    ReplyDelete
  27. The Buffalo Wing polish needs a Tangy Blue Cheese accent top coat. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  28. In Germany you say April, April! Funny idea :D

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh why do I wish this was real?! Homestyle Ranch would be so awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I LOVE YOUR POSTS EVERY YEAR! Happy April Fools!

    ReplyDelete

  33. APRIL FOOL!!! You nearly had me. I was actually loving the sound of Homestyle Ranch until I realised what day it was :-)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hahahaha, very cute!! Happy 4-1-12 to you! :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I must say-you got me-part of me really didn't think that was possible and I kept thinking of the girl on addictions who drinks nail polish. I have to know what polish that tangy barbecue is-that is one stunning color! You got me good! Thanks Scrangie!

    ReplyDelete
  36. PS I also saw that you used the date of the end of the world as your polish take off date-kind of had an idea you were messing with me!

    ReplyDelete
  37. This is wonderful! I'm starting a diet today and have to give up most condiments. Licking my nails would be a great way to get the flavour without the calories!

    Would you consider developing pepperoni pizza and steak fajita flavors???

    (I didn't think you could top the pennies but you did. Kudos, Ms. Scrangie, kudos.)

    ReplyDelete
  38. God I am so gullible, I almost fell for it!

    ReplyDelete
  39. This is wonderful! I'm starting a strict diet today and can't have most condiments. Now I can just lick my fingers to get the flavors.

    Also would you consider making pepperoni pizza, fried chicken and caramel topped brownie flavors???

    (sidenote: I didn't think you could top the pennies but you did. Kudos!)

    ReplyDelete
  40. srsly? is it a 1st april joke or something?:D

    ReplyDelete
  41. How many calories per nail is that?

    You crack me up every year.

    ReplyDelete
  42. How about dessert, don't forget it! ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  43. This post is so appropriate for this year and I straight up cackled while I read it. :) The only name I could come up with was Tasty Toxins ... but that sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Whaaaaaat! That. Is. So. Awesome. Shut up and take my money already!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. lol, this made me laugh so hard. then I rememberd it was April fools and laughed even more :D

    ReplyDelete
  46. :D imagine if there were really flavoured nail polishes in existence!

    thanks scrangie for the crazy, but super awesome cute prank idea :p

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh, oh! I vote "Flavored Phalanges by Scrangie"! Any product with 'phalanges' in the name is a-ok with me. Sounds scrumptious ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Meehhhhh! Happy April fool's day Scrangie lol

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh my gosh, this is too funny!! XD

    ReplyDelete
  53. lol I actually think there is a market for this!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Oh Scrangie, last year's April Fools post was amazing, but this, this is something else! Amazing, amazing, amazing. :D Loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  55. OMG!
    they look gorgeous & their names are perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  56. OMG Scrangie you're too funny. Happy 4/1!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Can you taste the flavor even with topcoat? 'Cause that stuff's NARSTY. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  58. Thanks for making me laugh! Of course, I still hope for the day you have your own polish line!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Awesome. (I'll never forget the pennies heh.)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Good one!! Once I started to read about the "flavored" concept I knew it was April Fool's. But I must say I got super excited when I thought you'd created your own polish line. Sad face.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I swear, for three years in a row now, you are the first person to remind me that it is April 1st.

    ReplyDelete
  62. NIce joke. However, the colors are gorgeous! I want them all!

    ReplyDelete
  63. How about 'Nom Nom Nails'?
    (Wishing you a happy April Fool's Day.)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Trollolololololololololololol!!!! OMG you are hillarious. I love how your polishes will bring on the mayan apocalypse loool!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh Scrangie, you so silly ;)

    Happy April Fool's day! The first one should have been Cookies and Cream! yum.

    ReplyDelete
  68. What polish did you use for the Tangy BBQ? It's so pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  69. What polish did you use for the Tangy BBQ? It's beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I don't eat my nails. My nails don't go anywhere near my mouth. It's impossible to have long nails if you're gnawing on them.

    Also, just because a nail polish might be flavored doesn't mean it's safe to eat.

    I just have to be honest: I think this is a weird/bordering on silly idea. Besides, the colors themselves are not standouts.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Seriously just lol'ed so hard I nearly peed myself xD

    ReplyDelete
  72. *facepalm* Forgot the date. LOL nice.

    ReplyDelete
  73. haha! I was in shock and horror at first! I thought "she can't be serious, this is a COMPLETELY terrible, crazy idea!"

    Man, oh man. You had me going. I totally forgot it's April 1st today! But since that first polish isn't actually Homestyle Ranch, might I ask what that pretty black micro and hex glitter polish is? :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. I seriously thought you lost your mind for a second, because I forgot it was April 1.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Yikes, LOL! That would be disgusting!!!! I knew you would do your best to fool us today....but spicy buffalo wing nail polish? LMFAO!!!

    ReplyDelete
  78. PS- I understand if you don't want to approve my previous comment.... As it will give it away for those who don't catch on.

  79. Happy April Fools!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  80. Scrangie, could you make a chocolate one? I really love chocolate! :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. I actually like Tasty Tips as a name but my talent for naming things is non-existent. I'm a big honey-mustard fan so I'd have to try it out of sheer curiosity! lol But thankfully I"m not a nail biter or I'd have to re-do my nails every five minutes! This collection of polishes would be great coming out in the next month or so because they are all Summer Cook-Out flavors. Got my fingers crossed for you! Hope it all works out well :)

    ReplyDelete
  82. gahh! you had me so excited when i saw the title. then i remembered what day it was....

    ReplyDelete
  83. Hahaha you got me... I was like "Is this serious?!"

    ReplyDelete
  84. I must say this is THE most creative April 1st article i've read so far!!!
    I'm even considering liking this day a little bit because of this :-)) (I have some early years trauma that makes me HATE April 1st forever and ever)

    Gorgeous colors though. I'm deff in love with them!!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. These are amazing! SO different from everything else that's out there and I love the theme. On the waiting list I go. Congrats on the new line!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Hahaha, D'oh! Got me gooooood :-)

    ReplyDelete
  98. These sound so0o0 fantastic!! Hahah. :PPP

    ReplyDelete
  99. I applaud your entrepreneurial spirit. The world NEEDS flavored polishes; however, as a confirmed sweet tooth, I notice there's no chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, etc. Whatcha waitin' for, girl? Get busy!!!! LOL (Btw, best thing I've read today, thanks!) :-p

    ReplyDelete
  100. How exciting! I am loving homestyle ranch and tangy barbeque sauce! Home run!

    ReplyDelete
  101. I started reading this and I was like, "What... in... the... WORLD?!" and then I realized what day it was and giggled to myself. You had me going for a good minute though. Nice one!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Completely twisted and totally hilarious...a girl after my own heart. Love it! ;)

  104. LOL, nice Scrangie! I did think the Homestyle Ranch was super cute though. Nerdlacquer?

  105. Wow! You got me all the way until I started reading comments! And I was so sad, because it grossed me out and I didn't want any of them. ROFL. I just had to share this on my page! In all reality, if you did come out with a REAL line, we would all clamor to buy! That Homestyle Ranch one is beautiful in its own right! The RBL you came up with is fantastic as would any unmunchable line you created! Tanks for the great start to my April Fools!

    ReplyDelete
  106. Best April Fools Post Today!! I was laughing so hard I spit coffee all over myself!

    And yes, I too must know what the Homestyle Ranch polish is. Lemming that hard!

    ReplyDelete
  107. That girl who is addicted to drinking nail polish on My Strange Addiction would LOVE this!

    ReplyDelete
  108. Hmmm I would go for a chocolate or mountain dew flavored...If anybody really could do this it would be a best seller and they would never be able to keep them in stock.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Is this an April fool's joke?

  112. That was excellent, you really had me going, and for some reason it clicked when I came to Spicy Buffalo Wing, hah. I just kept thinking, "Who would choose these flavors?!" XD Nice one!!

    ReplyDelete
  113. LOLOL, Flavored Phalanges bahaha. This was great, I loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I knew from the second I began to read the post it was a joke but what an awesome one! I'm surprised someone hasn't stolen that idea for a collection yet!

    ReplyDelete
  115. Yeah I would def. wear Tangy BBQ and yes this made me think of that pour girl on My Strange Addiction that drank nail polish like 5-Hour Energy Drinks!

    ReplyDelete
  116. This was fantastic!! XD

    ReplyDelete
  117. This is hilarious! You have the best April Fools posts.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Too funny! But I have to say, I love your Homestyle Ranch mani!

  137. I am simultaneously lemming nail polish AND buffalo wings with nacho cheese.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Haha! End of the world, why not go out in style with some Nacho Nails!! Is it really bad that even though I knew it was an April Fool that I still imagined licking the nails? No? Just me? Perhaps not the Phalange ones.... Great post, and still the best nail photographer in all the land :) x

    Thank you for the giggle!!!

    ReplyDelete
  143. I had a good giggle :)
    In all seriousness, I would buy the crap out of any line you made, even if they had flavour (ick!)

    ReplyDelete
  144. Hahahahaha! You're awesome. For a second I actually thought you were serious, then I remember what day it was.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Really well tried!!!! u deserve an aplaud for the wild imagination though!!

    ReplyDelete
  146. Homestyle Ranch and Honey Mustard would be my favorites. They look pretty unique.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Damn. Definitely fell for it. Except for the flavored part. I kept thinking "that must be a typo." I really wanted the honey mustard one though! What is that? For real...

    ReplyDelete
  148. Good colors, but HORRIBLE names... I'm sorry. I wouldn't buy them because the names make the colors look gross, like the actual condiments... especially "Homestyle Ranch", I gagged on that one.

    ReplyDelete
  149. I figured it was an April Fools joke, but had to click on the pre order just in case. I laughed my butt off.....

    ReplyDelete
  150. :D great post, I was wondering with what would you come up this year!!!! "Edible to the Eponychium" ROTFL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  151. Bahahahah! I can just imagine the other comments: "OH MY GOD, eating nail polish is SOOO bad for you!" Good one, Scrangie :)

    ReplyDelete
  152. Just way too funny! Aprils fools day to you too. But a nail polish line by you? humm Anywhoo Thanks so very much for the giggle!!
