What is the history of nail art?

For manicure, the ancient Egyptians took the lead in rubbing the fur of antelope to make their nails shiny, and applied henna flower juice to make them charming bright red. In an archaeological investigation, someone once discovered a cosmetic box in the tomb of Cleopatra, which recorded: “Virgin nail polish” is used to lead to the Western Paradise.
During the Tang Dynasty in our country, the fashion of dyeing armor had already appeared. The material used is Impatiens. The method is to take the flowers and leaves of the highly corrosive Impatiens and crush them in a small bowl. Add a small amount of alum to dip the nails. You can also pinch the silk cotton into the same sheet as the nail, put it into the flower juice, wait until the water is absorbed, take it out, put it on the nail surface, and dip it three to five times continuously, and it will not fade for several months. Manicure is not only a symbol of beauty, but also a symbol of status. Ancient Chinese officials also used decorative metal false nails to increase the length of nails to show their noble status.

Both the British royal family and the Chinese royal family of the Qing Dynasty have a tradition of keeping nails. Keeping white nails means that you don’t have to work hard, and it symbolizes status and rights. People with long, gorgeous nails tend to belong to the upper class.

Beautiful hand and manicure culture originated in the development period of human civilization. It first appeared in people’s religion and sacrificial activities. People painted various patterns on their fingers and arms to pray for the blessing of the gods and get rid of evil. It has a long history in the five thousand years of history and culture of the Chinese nation. So far, we can find its shining historical light from many aspects.
