what is the number on the bottom of OPI bottles?

nail polish 50s image

lauren.

I had a favorite nail polish from OPI that was a tawny nude shade. It had no sparkles in it. After repeated use and sitting on my bathroom counter for a long time the bottom labels peeled off. Since then, I've found it impossible to track down the color, but I was wondering if the raised numbers in the glass on the bottom of the bottle (NOT the serial number) have anything to do with the shade?

The number on the bottom is "50."

Answer
Yes, the number does have to do with the shade.
Before the number "50", it should also have a letter or two. There are several OPI 50s, however they have different letters in front. If you have the letter, you can go to opi.com and click "Try on this Color". When a color is selected, as you can see underneath the color is says a letter and a number. For example, Skull & Glossbones is NL P13.

If this doesn't work for you, try going here: http://mail.opi.com/HelpDesk/HelpDesk.nsf/WTSF?OpenForm and send in an e-mail asking them if they know what nail polish that is. I am sure that they have all of the information.

Good luck!

What kind of clothes would teen girls have worn in the late 50's?

Marceline

More specifically, 1957?
Would girls have worn any kind of jeans? Or shorts of any kind? (Were tank tops invented then? If so, would women have worn them?) I know if they did, it would certainly not be like how ours look nowadays.
Would they ever owned/driven/rode a motorcycle?

Any other info, like hairstyles would be great!
Thank you!

Answer
Most of the time girls wore skirts or dresses. They would have worn a nice blouse with a skirt, no tanks or pants:P



I've included a bunch of pictures:

Most women in the 50's kept their hair short, but there are hairstyles you can do to mimic 50's hair. I have included them below.

Jewelry was simple, pearl studs and a pearl necklace.
For nail polish, go with red.



Hope I helped(:


P.S: Women would not have driven motorcycles, they barely drove cars. Men drove them around most of the time lol.

How can a 25-year-old woman dress to look upper class?

Gina

I want to look upper class (to fit in with my boyfriends millionaire family). How should I dress?

Answer
Most importantly, use good manners . Go for a natural, classic look. Clear nail polish, simple NOT trendy hair.A vintage 50s look is ideal if you have no money and need to look classy.You can pick up a knee length pencil skirt and blouse cheap.And its harder to tell its not high quality if its plain style.Pearls,pumps,impeccable manners : cant go wrong :)

I'm being a Pink Lady from Grease for Halloween?

Stephanie

My friend and I are dressing up as pink ladies. We have the pink jacket, black glasses, and white shirt so far. We're just not sure if we should we black leggings or just black skinny jeans, black converse or pink converse, or black flats. Also, what accessories would a pink lady wear? Like jewelry, nail polish color, hair style? Thanks!

Answer
Black leggings all the way, and black flats. In the 50s, I don't think there were converses. A fake, plastic diamond ring, maybe a pearl necklace, glittery pink nail polish, bright pink lipstick, over-exerated eyeshadow&blush and an updo, like Frenchy in the movie! :D

Hope it helped!! :) xx

How did it come to this?

When did men become so pussified? eyeliner, 2 hours in the morning fixing their hair, nail polish. Why is it like this? How did we go from the Strong, manly, type of person that was in the 40s-50s and now into this incredibly feminine style of now. And why did this happen?

I say we take back our balls and become men again.

Answer
I can't. My wife got them in the divorce settlement

looking for article called "sweetheart test" from the 50s. any ideas where i could find it online?

nat

In history a few years ago, we went over a little magazine quiz from the 50s that was called the "sweethearts test" and it was a quiz for young couples. it judged whether or not the readers are good/bad bf/gfs. I want to show my friends because the questions and answers were so silly (does she wear nail polish? if so, she might be morally loose! lol)
any idea where this could be?

Answer
I always find these really old articles interesting because you really do see how the majority mindset was with gender roles and responsibilities, etc were. I found this really great book with articles includes you should check out: http://books.google.com/books?id=Bhao4MW_nbQC&pg=PA97&lpg=PA97&dq=1960+good+housekeeping+articles&source=bl&ots=8JZk0bgV7r&sig=QNIEDHX2O1y3pZhe3iOjxDDW5EU&hl=en&ei=KpOMSZbFGIzgMJD7gIwL&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct=result#PPA99,M1
