Drink-spiking detection nail stickers being introduced in Spain – but there’s an important catch

A novel nail sticker designed to detect GHB in drinks is set to launch in Spain, although it has limitations. Developed by a South Korean laboratory, the sticker changes color from yellow to green when it detects GHB, a powerful depressant often used to spike drinks. The product, called Spy Nails by Freshia, is being prepared for commercial release in Spain, with pre-orders expected in November 2026.

However, it's important to note that Spy Nails cannot detect every substance used to spike drinks, and its color change does not guarantee a drink is safe. The company plans to distribute over 500,000 units in its first year in Spain, targeting pharmacies, music festivals, universities, nightlife venues, and online retailers.
