how to create beautiful nail art image
moonpig247
Was it something devised in Elizabethan times at all? That's just a guess, wanted to know who got the idea to paint their nails all beautiful colours?!
Answer
The Chinese (3,000BC) and the Egyptians (3,500 BC) were among the first cultures to use nail art. The Chinese used things like gum arabic, egg whites, gelatin, and beeswax to create lacquers and varnishes, while the Egyptians used Henna as a stain. It's said that Cleopatra painted her nails a deep red while Nefertiti prefered a ruby shade. Women of lower rank were only permitted to wear paler shades.
In 18th Century Europe it was widely debated whether it was appropriate for women to use cosmetics and their use was associated with prostitutes. The English Parliament passed a law stating that any woman, regardless of age, rank, profession, or degree, be it maids, virgins, or widows, who seduced or betrayed any man into marriage by use of scents, paints, cosmetics, washes, artificial teeth, false hair, iron stays, hoops, hgh-heeled shoes, or bolstered hips shall incur the pentaly of law against witchcraft and the marriage would be rendered null and void.
In 1925 the first nail tint, a rosy red polish, entered the market and was applied only to the center of the nail. Max Factor provided the masses with a new product the Society Nail Tint that was buffed into the nail plate to give it a rose hue. Not long afterward Charles Revson (who founded the Revlon company in 1935) with the help of his chemist brother, created the first pigment based nail polish.
Most of the colors available were in red and rose hues.
By 1950 there was an explosion of available colors and women began to wear softer colors modeled after Hollywood Starlets. At this point Elizabeth Arden polish sold for $0.75/bottle.
Hope this helps :)

How many people went to cosmetology school on here?
Juli
I am wondering because i got an email from a teenager saying that stylists are beneath her as if we (i am a cosmetogist) are nothing and here is her dumb quote:
Work at the Walmart Salon making $9.00 and hour? Yea, what a great life!
OOOHHH---Cosmetology school! WHOA!! You can get a job at the Walmart Superstore!
What would you say to this little teenage girl trying to place house?
Answer
I graduated cos class years ago '87.......I took it because it is an art form.... it was and is fun.. I do not work as a stylist, or manicurist... but those skills have provided me with the ability to not just cut my childrens hair, but find and give them styles that fit them.. and we have facial, pedicure, nail nights... my daughters and I... I give them the "spa works" and we have a great time...
the teen?
I would tell her that she does not know very much.. that you are able to take a drab teenager and give her a suave new look with beautiful, killer locks that draws attention away from her big mouth... to take those claws of hers and trim them so they look like those of a sofisicated young lady.... and a make over that will make her pitifully uneven skin glow and turn heads because the beauty was found even inside a someone like her....
or something along those lines...
do not listen to small people.... you know you have a skill and can create art.... and whether at walmart or on rodeo drive? it is just that skill and art... helping and working with people...
