vegetable dyes, and gum arabic and rose petals. The Chinese would dip
their hands in this mixture until their finger nails turned red or pink. In Acient

stain matured. In 1300 BC, the colour of the nail polish reflected social rank.

favoured colours. Red is the colour Cleopatra

were tinted with scented red oils, and polished or buffed with a chamois cloth,
rather than simply polished. In
the 19th and early 20th centuries, people pursued a polished rather than
painted look by massaging tinted powders and creams into their nails, then
buffing them shiny. After the creation of automobile paint, Cutex produced the first modern nail polish
in 1917. Synthetic nail polish was introduced in the 1920s in Paris.
