Ancient Egyptians painted their nails to indicate social status. The upper classes painted their nails in all shades of red and orange, while slaves, on the contrary, used only neutral and pastel shades. For example, Queen Cleopatra preferred terracotta color. It was obtained thanks to ordinary henna, which was rubbed into the nail bed. #fact #history

In Rus', nails could only be cut on Thursdays On other days, this activity had every chance of bringing trouble and illness to the family. Nails were at the epicenter of all superstitions: they were cut and immediately burned so that ill-wishers could not cast a spell, or given to the house spirit so that he would guard the home well.

Many masters talk about the need to take a break after using gel polishes for a long time, so that the nails can "breathe". In fact, nails are layers of keratinized cells in which metabolic processes do not occur. And "rest" from gel polish will not help them. To make them grow healthier, it is enough to use oil that nourishes the nail matrix - it is hidden under the cuticle at the base of the nail plate.

In 1830, the first full-fledged manicure set appeared - it was created by the doctor of the French king Louis-Philippe. After the monarch's finger became inflamed due to a carelessly torn hangnail, he was required to properly care for his nails and the skin around them.
