Sunblock for Nails

You've rubbed some UV protection sunblock on your skin, you've got your UV protection sunglasses on, your UV protection lip balm, and you even treated your hair with UV protection conditioner. Ah, but you forgot to protect your fingernails from UV radiation!

Qnc Labs, the maker of nail care products for women, has a product called "Sunblock for Nails". You brush it on like nail polish, and it protects your finger nails from the Sun's ultraviolet rays.

But if finger nails consist of dead matter, why do women need to protect them from UV light? Well the company says that exposure to UV light can cause nails to yellow. And what woman wants yeller nails?

I guess it must be a "girl-thing", because I spend a lot of time outdoors, and my nails are as lovely and feminine as can be!

Most people rub in their sunblock with their hands, unless they are using spray on (which is crap and DOES need to be rubbed in). So if they are rubbing it in with their hands then the sunblock most likely gets on the nails, right?
useless.

People can get skin cancer under the fingernails:

Sunblock is probably repelled by regular nail polish, while sunlight can certainly penetrate nail polish, esp. light or clear (like a french manicure).

I would imagine this product is for people who want to decrease their risk of cancer in this category.

Cool website, BTW!
