When was nail polish invented?
When did it become a common female practice to paint nails?
Who (and what culture?) popularized this practice?



Answer
Nail polish originated around 3000 BC in China. Michelle Menard invented the modern nail polish in the 1920âs. Flapper girls and later, Hollywood starlets wore bright red. Pin-up girls such as Lana Turner always had on the requisite red lips and red nails for photo sessions and walks down the red carpet. Polish is actually similar to car paint. It requires a remover made of acetone. In Britain, nail polish is called nail varnish.

From WikiAnswers.com
In the 1930s the car industry boomed. New types of strongly opaque pigments were used in vehicle paints. This technology was adopted by the brothers Charles und Joseph Revlon, who developed the first nail varnish in 1932. Thanks to this invention they laid the foundations for the cosmetic company Revlon.

I didn't buy the colors I wanted when I first saw them and now none of the stores have restocked them. Only a couple colors are left whenever I see them but I can't find the other colors.


Answer
I think those wre a limited edition thing. You can probably find them on ebay though.
