Poppable Zit Nails Are Here & Just Try Not to Gag

Some of us have a morbid fascination with pimples. Though most abhor the idea of having a face full of them, a lot of folks get inexplicable pleasure out of popping them. And while it is highly recommended by dermatologists that you do NOT give in to your pimple-popping pleasures, nail artist Natasha Lee has found a cool and slightly disgusting way to get your fix.

Lee begins her gross nail art venture by painting on a nude color, then plopping lumps of gel.

She brings the zits to life with a few splatters of red, pink, and yellow, which was pretty convincing in and of itself.

But the real star of the show is her ring finger nail, which features an actual exploding zit. Her secret weapon? Burt's Bees banana hand cream.

Lee expertly places a glob of it on the nail, smooths it out, and encases it with a gel coating, which she "cooks" under the UV light to harden it.

And just like a real juicy zit, giving it a good squeeze will cause the "puss" to ooze out.
