There’s also stickers to add dripping cheese or shell effects to your nail art. Whether you love the liquid gold in mac and cheese form or as dip at tailgate parties, you’re not really the ultimate fan of this comfort food unless you’re also wearing it. The nail polish retails for $15 from Nails.INCOpens in a new tab and is also sold on Amazon.
The latest in cheese accessories came to our attention thanks to DesignTAXI.Opens in a new tab The product description says the cheese scent is present once the nail polish dries. And then it looks finger licking good. But don’t do that. The website specifically says, “While our polish is cheese-scented, it is (unfortunately) not made of VELVEETA. Please don’t eat it.”
According to the Food and Drug Administration, Velveeta itself isn’t real cheese. They’re only allowed to call themselves a cheese product. It did used to be real cheese at some point, but the recipe changed.
