How its progressed

Nail varnish came out as a cosmetic product around the same time as technicolour films. A company Cutex released the first tinted liquid nail varnish. Technology developed in the 20th cetuary which meant that nail varnish could now be made from plasticised nitro cellulose which is a man made fibre. This didnt not wear well and chipped easily.

Then Revlon cam along and invented the new opaque enamel.This new nail varnish was much better than teh one created by Cutex. Revlon' s new nail varnish covered blemishes in the nail bed and was cremier and gave richer colour. This launched the company Revlon which is now one of the biggest cosmetic companies.


In the fifties the sale of nail varnish rocketed when seen on famous movie stars in films. In the sixties pale or nude nails were the fashion  (nude nail varnish at the moment are very in fashion). Modern day nails have been mixed with synthetic reisins to give a glossy finish and long wearing properties.

Nail varnish is having it's fashion revival!Nail varnish has entered a whole new level you can now get nail varnish that is fruit scented,glittery and glow in the dark and as if that wasnt enough it comes in every colour under the sun.
