Nail polish
Nail polish (also known as nail varnish) is a lacquer that can be applied to the human fingernails or toenails to decorate and protect the nail plates. The formulation has been revised repeatedly to enhance its decorative effects and to suppress cracking or flaking. Nail polish consists of a solution of an organic polymer and other components.〔
==History==
Nail polish originated in The World, and its use dates back to 3000 BC Around 600 BC, during the Zhou dynasty, the royal house preferred the colors gold and silver.〔 However, red and black eventually replaced these metallic colors as royal favorites.〔 During the Ming dynasty, nail polish was often made from a mixture that included beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum Arabic.〔〔
In Egypt, the lower classes wore pale colors, whereas high society painted their nails a reddish brown, with henna. It was also known that mummified pharaohs would have their nails painted by henna.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://search.proquest.com.libproxy.csun.edu/docview/1477854392?pq-origsite=summon )〕
By the turn of the ninth century, nails were tinted with scented red oils, and polished or buffed. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, people preferred a polished rather than a painted look by mixing tinted powders and creams into their nails, then buffing them until shiny. One type of polishing product sold around this time was Graf's Hyglo nail polish paste.
