So what you're saying is
this plant will dye my nails?
[music]
So this week's WTF is traditional Korean nailpolish.
Oh boy! Yay!
Simon's so excited! Girly stuff!
Ok so we say traditional because it's actually made from plant extract like henna
Traditional plants. None of those new plants! Forget them! No way!
Old school with like, vegetables and stuff! No way!
The plant is called Bongseonhwa but I also heard BERWJTJWFJATRE
and I think in English it's like, Touch Me Not, or Touch Me Gently,
Kiss and touch me! Rub my bananas!
Bananas count as traditional fruit, don't they?
Anyways, I'm pretty sure I got that English plant name wrong,
So if you know the plant name for it, Touch Me Gently, Touch Me Slowly,
something about not touching!
Ok so the reason why I discovered this orangey-brown traditional nailpolish
because when I was teaching my students would have their nails dyed with it,
but nailpolish is banned at my school.
Was it banned at your school too?
I don't know.
Anyways, so, it was banned.
I tried wearing it and the principal had a stern talk with me
you know, the kids went home crying,
Hay! Nowadays lots of guise wear nailpolish!
Like HUNKY from Foto Island.
The Hunky one.
The Hunky one wears really cool nailpolish.
We have totally digressed here.
You guise don't care, right? You like Hongki.
Anyways...............I was wondering how they could get away with it
because they're definitely not allowed to wear nailpolish
and they told me "oh teacher this is traditional Korean nailpolish"
Way back historically in the day, during the springtime,
Young maidens would emerge from their houses
and collect the plants and crush them,
and then they would dye their nails with it
and kind of like...inspirational for poets,
and DERP like, DERP I'm so in love DERP
Anyways! Today we're gonna do some experimenting with this nailpolish.
[HUZZAH!] On Simon's fingers [WHAT?!]
I didn't agree to this!
Well, I did this last year and it lasts for like a month
It pretty much lasts until your nails grow out
and I don't want to do that, so it's you Simon.
We will do it on one finger and one finger only.
What finger, your thumb?
This one!
Ok, to the nailpolish station! [BATMAN MUSIC]
It's just, um, it's just our kitchen.
[Lame Batman Music]
Ok so I dumped it out of the package
and I just put it in like a milk lid container
cuz this stuff will stain EVERYTHING
So don't use your mom's white bowl
so that she murders you later in your sleep
with a pillow on your face ANYWAYS moms would never do that.
You just add some water to this and mix it up
and make it like a paste
and we're gonna apply that to Simon's fingers
YAY!
[music]
Ok Simon you ready!
Oh boy!
It looks like..........gross!
But I think it's very similar to henna,
Henna's usually that brownish orange...
that looks very similar to poo.
Ok well poos don't usually come in little cups like that.
well depends on...you know what I don't even want to talk about that
It smells like rotten oranges as well.
Ok calm down! Ok so what I want to do here is
Can we not do this anymore? [NO!]
Some people will cover the whole finger
and then wrap it in plastic wrap overnight
If you do that, you end up getting an orange-dyed finger
and it looks like you've been chainsmoking your whole life.
I don't want an orange dyed finger.
Especially since neither of us smoke, so it doesn't work.
Ok I'm just gonna slap on [WE GONNA SLAP ON THA GOO!]
Oh that was a terrible Jamaican accent!
What the hell was that supposed to be?
Ok shhush I was just gonna distract you while I paint on the poo.
[poo music]
Ok so we rinsed off the stuff, you can see.
And we used a Q-tip, because if you don't use a q-tip
you can also like stain your fingers up
and it's really orange.
SO ORANGE!
It's like, pumpkin orange.
I was about to say carrot orange but pumpkin suffices as well.
We left it on for a pretty long time,
we like, watched a TV show and came back.
Wow! But, anyways, Simon's not gonna cover it in clear nailpolish,
if you did it would stay on longer,
YEAH I definitely don't plan on covering it in clear naipolish!
Well, I'm saying! You can scrub it with a scrubby brush
and it will come off a bit sooner.
SSSS...It's on for life Simon.
Why did I agree to this again?
Because I didn't want to do it!
Like, I'm scratching it and it won't even come off.
It's dyed.
This, this is stained.
No!
Do we have any, like, human colored finger dye?
I'll put black over it for you.
I don't want black! It's lame!
I'll go get black.
Stop it!
I'm not gonna have any black on my nail!
I will not fulfill your goth fantasies!
YAY!
[Gong!]
So now to announce the WTF care package winner of the month
we're gonna do that in the blooper reel right here!
It's gonna go here today, because we've got room for it!
We actually do! Forget about putting it here.
It's gonna go here in the middle. See it?
BONERAMA BONERAMA BONERAMA BONERAMA BONERAMA BONERAMA BONERAMA BONERAMA BONERAMA
I don't know that song.
It's Bonerama.
[GONG!]
