The art of caring for hands and giving aesthetic appearance to nails has a long history. In ancient Egypt, among the numerous servants of the pharaoh and the top of the nobility were people responsible for the beauty of their nails. Nefertiti and Cleopatra paid great attention to the beauty of their hands, complementing traditional manicure manipulations with skin care using oils.
In ancient Babylon, nail coloring was the prerogative of men. By their color it was possible to determine which class a person belongs to: black was chosen by representatives of the upper classes, and green - by the lower ones. During excavations, archaeologists found expensive tools and devices made of gold here. Babylonian masters can be considered the founders of nail art, as they were the first to use pieces of gold to decorate their hands.
The inhabitants of ancient China not only liked to paint their nails in bright colors, but were also jealous of their length. Representatives of the nobility could afford special covers for each finger, which were made of precious metals. In addition to protecting the nail, they clearly indicated the high position of women in society. In the Middle Ages, during the Ming Dynasty, neat well-groomed hands were a must among the nobility. The nail plate was painted in colors from red to black using a mixture of gelatin, egg yolk and natural dyes.
In Ancient Rus', they did not pay such attention to the beauty of hands, as in China, but still certain traditions existed here. For example, cutting nails was allowed only on Thursday, on other days this simple procedure could bring trouble to the whole family.All prunings were burned so that with their help evil people could not cause damage, and the resulting ashes were considered a remedy for serious illnesses.
In medieval France, 1830 can be considered the year of the birth of manicure. The then ruler Louis Philippe I developed a painful hangnail, which Dr. Zitzt helped to cope with with the help of a suede nail file and an orange stick. This became the prototype of the first manicure sets, which all noble French women soon acquired.
Revolutionary was the invention in 1917 by Dr. Coronu of a tool that softened the cuticle, after which no trimming of the skin was required.
The invention of automobiles and varnishes for painting them at the same time caused a boom among fashionistas who began to use them for nails. Despite the fact that the varnish was quite harmful and toxic, the passion for it became rampant. This has sparked a rise in developments in hand care and healthy nail care. So, in 1932, Revlon began producing special polishes for the nail plate.
But bright nails, unlike in Eastern countries, did not immediately become popular in Europe. In the Middle Ages, they were considered a sign of witches, and a daring fashionista could easily be sentenced to be burned at the stake. At the beginning of the 20th century, bright varnish was a sign that a woman belonged to an ancient profession. Strict rules allowed only polishing hands with pieces of suede.
The breakthrough of bright colors occurred in the 40-50s. last century, along with the development of cinema. Popular actresses introduced the fashion for long pointed nails with red polish. The hippie subculture that followed popularized calmer, neutral shades, and the French manicure was reborn at the same time.At the end of the century, nail art began to gain popularity.
In the 21st century, this area has made a real breakthrough. This was facilitated by the emergence of new materials, tools and technologies that have expanded the capabilities of manicure masters to incredible limits. Chameleon varnishes, special airbrushes for drawing a gradient, a variety of decor - all this can be easily found even in small manicure rooms. But if there is a clear progress in this area, then in matters of the composition of varnishes and other products, paradoxically, we can talk about regression, since there is a return from chemicals to the most natural composition.
