Sometimes miscreants mix intoxicants in drinks and serve them to ladies to molest them. Golakh and Siba have thought of an idea of mixing a drug/intoxicant indicator in nail polish so that when a lady dips her nail in the drink, a color change of the nail polish would indicate the presence of the said drug/intoxicant.
