For those that would rather be painting their talons than sat at a desk, Nailbox may have the ideal job for you.

The beauty subscription service has opened a vacancy for one lucky cosmetics addict to become the company's official 'Nail Tester'.

As well as freebies - the successful applicant will be sent 50 nail polishes a month, which they are expected to test and review - the job also comes with a bountiful pro rata salary of £35,000.

UK-based beauty subscription service, Nailbox, has opened a role for an official nail polish tester

In the job description, Nailbox asks prospective candidates: 'Are you bored with your current job? Do you like getting freebies?'

The UK-based company specialises in sending specially tailored boxes of nail products to its members every month.

The nail tester will be expected to trial a variety of treatments, base coats, top coats, files, foils and the latest colours, and is expected to snap photos along the way.

As well as the review, the tester is expected to contribute themed ideas for the monthly boxes, so they remain 'the best they can possibly be.'

Nailbox also states that its ideal applicant will 'keep up with new fashions and be a trendsetter, have a critical eye and have well maintained hands and nails'.

As well as ensuring the upkeep of the condition of their nails, the company expects the polish tester to refrain from doing any from housework, so not to inflict potential 'damage'.

On the role's description, Nailbox insists: 'It is also critical that the successful candidate is prepared to withdraw themselves from any physical labour or household chores which may damage their hands eg washing up and gardening.'

And if the perks weren't already an overwhelming draw, the description details 'extremely flexible working hours', allowing the nail tester to work from home.

The closing date for prospective candidates is 30 June, by which point they are required to write a 100-word application on why they think they 'deserve' the £35k a year job.

Unsurprisingly, the site has already admitted to receiving an 'overwhelming response' from applicants.
