Brief History on Nails
According to Kimberly Heit, the author of an article called “Fingernail trends throughout History”, during 69-30 BC a famous queen fro Egypt by the name of Cleopetrathe used to decorate her nails using Henna. Henna was taking from trees in order to make brown, orange and red. Heit also informs us that in the 17th century Chinese used to let their nails grow to let others know that they did not have to perform manual labor and that because of this they were considered from the high class. As we can see the beauty of the nails has been descendent from ancient and not so long ago it was used to determine class difference. However, surprisingly the nail polish itself was not invented until the 20th century.
Material needed
Colors can be chosen as one pleases and as one believes the colors would look better. Most nail designs ask for a color to be applied as base in order to give the whole nail a full job. According to Amazon.com, the Top sellers Nail polish are glitter and broad colors like dry green, grey, dark red, peach, and mainly colors related to fall. The Neon colors are also very popular in young ladies. To create actual designs you will need thin tip nail polish that make it easier for you to draw without having to worry about the lines bring to thick. Make sure to have a clear nail polish that is called the TopCoat in order to maker all the design stay intact and not have pieces falling of.
