How long do you think nail polish has developed? The answer is over thousands of years. Thousand years ago in countries across the world, ancient women pursued nail beauty to make themselves perfect. The same situation happens today, women pursue different kinds of traditional and advanced nail treatments to make themselves look attractive!
In the past, Indian people use red nail polish mainly in wedding. Red is also popular for ancient Roman. Ancient Roman women used rouge as nail polish to color their nails. In Peru, Incan painted eagles on their nails for special events.
In ancient Egypt, nail color was a signature of social status. Red was the color for royal family members only and ordinary people were only allowed to use lighter colors. Nail technicians used Henna, a flower and blood to make the nail polish more long lasting. It is believed that red color was the favorite for Cleopatra VII Philopator.
Nail cosmetics were first used in Zhou Dynasty in China. At that time, Chinese people did not use nail polish but false nails. These false nails are made of gold or silver with gem stones embedded. Later in the Ming Dynasty, Chinese people made nail polish from flowers, egg white and wax and painted their nails in red and black.
In 1920, Michelle Menard of Revlon invented the first bottle of nail polish from the inspiration of car painting. The first generation of nail polish contained some toxic chemicals and therefore, product formula has been kept changing.
In 1980, Tinkerbell launched its first Bo-Po brush on peel off nail polish. You do not need chemical remover to take it off. The nail polish became the most popular nail polish at that time. There is still brush on peel off nail polish nowadays, but the most famous brand is Minx instead of Tinkerbell.
