Finally, a job where you're paid to keep your nails as perfect and untouched as possible.

Nailbox, a British nail polish subscription service, is searching for nail testers to try, test, and review 50 nail polishes and accessories every month for £35,000 a year ---or $55,375.42, at the current exchange rate.

The job seems straightforward enough. Each tester gets a package each month which includes polishes to test and photograph. Packages include “top coats, base coats, treatments, the latest nail polishes, nail files, and foils,” according to Nailbox’s career site.

The website lists the following job requirements: “Be genuinely interested in beauty and nails, have a critical eye, keep up with new fashion and be a trendsetter, have well maintained hands and nails, and understand basic photography.” The ideal candidate would be “someone who takes good care of their appearance - and hands in particular,” Nailbox’s managing director told Metro. “We need someone with genuine enthusiasm for beauty products, but also has a critical eye and is able to distinguish the better products and colors. They need to have a good idea of what’s currently fashionable as well.”

Another bonus: The website emphasizes that testers should withdraw from physical labor or household chores that might damage their nails. That means the next time someone asks you to do the dishes, you can get out of it simply by saying your polish-testing job won't allow you to.
