«Fingernail Dust»

Ever notice that fingernail dust has a distinctive smell?

Also, fingernails burn surprisingly well; about like hair. When burning they smell just like burn hair. At first this seems a little strange until you realize hair and fingernails are actually made of the same protein: Keratin.

That's all. I've had the idea in my notes for over a year to do a blog post about fingernail dust, but I never did really find that much on the subject. There's really not many people on the internet that talk about fingernail dust, it seems.
