INK IT OVER
Is the nail salon the new tattoo parlor?

If there’s one thing readers can agree upon, it’s that anything inked is pretty awesome. See: tattoo tights and temporary tattoos.

So we admittedly freaked out over China Glaze’s fall nail polish collection, called Ink, which features colors that look like they were drained straight from the needle at our local tattoo parlor.

There are six regular shades, all named after popular tattoo designs (raise your hand if you have a blue sparrow on your back or a koi fish on your arm), and a special black polish with an ultra-fine brush, so you can add tattoo-inspired prints to your fingers. Or, if your hand-eye coordination is a bit off, you can just stick on one of their nail decals.

And unlike an actual tattoo, if you get sick of the look you can just get out some nail polish remover and start from scratch. Because not even Johnny Depp could have a tattoo forever.
