Can you see what's wrong with the legs in this baffling optical illusion?

Once you see it you can't unsee it

Published 26th Oct 2016

A girl on Twitter has posted the latest in a series of optical illusions, and it could be on a par with the blue or gold dress saga.

The picture of a pair of legs has gone viral on Twitter after users have struggled to determine whether the legs are covered in oil, plastic... or streaks of white paint.

Twitter user 'bree' (AKA @msbreeezyyy) posted the picture with the caption, 'Once you see it you can't unsee it'.

The image has now reached over 8000 likes and 7000 retweets.

Some users commented that they saw shiny legs, while others insisted that there were simply streaks of white paint on the girl's legs.

And it's true – on closer inspection, the legs are in fact covered in stripes of white paint!

Absolutely mind-boggling.

What did you see? Shiny legs or white paint?
