Let’s be real: a lot of sex fetishes seem weird and slightly off. The reality is that having a fetish is totally normal and nothing to be ashamed of. But let’s back up. Maybe you’re wondering how a fetish is different from a sexual fantasy (AKA the sexy times daydreams you have when you’re bored).

I don’t know about you, but I have never been much of a nail polish girl, personally. Something about the way I move my hands, open doors, and reach into bags–abruptly, jerkily, and wholly devoid of any sense of grace whatsoever–makes it so any polish I have on my hands, however hopefully it was applied, gets chipped off within a few hours. Because of this, I usually go without–bare nails are boring, yes, but it’s definitely better than having a chipped-up checkerboard of Essie Petal Pusher that I feel obligated to hide under my sleeves until I finally take it off. Today, though, I found out about a new nail trend that might be able to withstand even my most inept, bumbling of hand gestures–it’s called furry nails.

Start smelling!
