Some History On Nail Varnish

There are many different types and brands of nail varnish

, but they all serve the same purpose. What they do is to generally improve the appearance of or add color to the fingernails. This has been a practice amongst people for many centuries.

Throughout recorded history there is mention of the use of different ways to add color to the fingernails. In many of these cultures it was a way to tell royalty apart from commoners. This was true for ancient Chinese societies as well as those of ancient Egypt. The coloring of the nails continued throughout the centuries since then.

However, it was not until automobile paint was invented that the inspiration for the nail varnish that we know today came along. Since the introduction of the original paint on enamels for the fingernails there has been the development of a wide variety of colors. This now has been taken even further into nail varnish that is environmentally friendly. This is a trend that has begun due to the fact that most of the manufacturing companies are being pushed to rid their polishes of the toxic chemicals that they have contained since they were first invented. Many of these chemicals have been proven to lead to many different conditions when tested in laboratories and the fear is that they could cause many of these same conditions in the humans that are wearing them.

Nail varnish has been used by women for many years as a statement of fashion, but recently it is taking on popularity amongst men as well. This is not only in the cultures of punk and Goth style where it has been common practice for both men and women to have colored fingernails since the 70's. This started in these cultures with both genders coloring their fingernails black, but as the colors available developed more so did the choices of the colors worn in these cultures. Throughout society as a whole it is now becoming commonplace for men to be wearing nail varnish.

There are many different types of nail varnish that is available on the market now from those that help those who bite their fingernails to stop to those that are intended to make the fingernails stronger and longer. The brands available in these polishes now are almost endless, and there are more and more coming out all the time. Most every line of beauty products that is in existence has their own brand of nail varnish, and there are many companies that are exclusive to polish for the fingernails and the only other products that they offer are those that will help to improve the fingernails even further.

No matter what the reason that you may be wearing nail varnish, whether it be to help you stop biting your fingernails or to try and help improve the appearance of your fingernails and hands, every time you apply it you taking part in a ritual that has been in existence for millennia and is guaranteed to continue for millennia to come.
