How To Do A Nail Paint

Step # 1: Remove any nail polish that has been on the nails using nail polish remover and cotton wool. The nail polish remover is a substance that is designed to break down and dissolve the polish.

Step # 2: Apply a base coat. This provides a smooth surface for colour and it can promote healthier nails. Let it dry for 3-5 minutes.

Step # 3: Apply colour nail polish. Start on your left hand and then the right. It should be applied using no more than 3 strokes.

Step # 4: Apply top coat. This is used to give a nice shine to the nail and to protect the nail against chipping.

The Most Expensive Nail Polish

Models Own launched its Gold Rushnail polish with a lid that has been carefully hand-crafted from yellow gold and has a total of 1,118 diamonds inlaid, costing $132 800 (£83,000) - setting the new world record for the most expensive nail polish.

The Effects Of Nail Polish Ingredients

Painted nails may look good, but ingredients in nail polish could have negative health effects. Some ingredients used in nail polish have been linked to cancer, heart problems, reproductive abnormalities, thyroid disorders and allergies.

Toluene

Toluene is used as a solvent in nail polish, which means that it helps dissolve other ingredients. It also gives the polish a smooth finish across the nail and keeps the colour staying on the nail.

Toluene is released into the air which means you could breathe in the fumes. This could result in nervous system problems, irritation of the eyes, throat and lungs, and possibly reproductive abnormalities.

Formaldehyde

This chemical is used as a nail-hardening agent. It can evaporate into the air, causing you to inhale it. Formaldehyde is known to cause cancer.

Formaldehyde may also cause allergic reactions. This could happen if the nail polish touches the skin. Most allergic reactions are skin rashes known as dermatitis, but excessive exposure to formaldehyde could increase the risk of asthma.

Acetone

Ethyl acetate and butyl acetate are acetones often used as solvents in nail polishes. If you are using the polish for a long time the fumes of these chemicals can lead to problems with the heart, lungs and liver.

Acetone is also extremely flammable. Some nail polishes can catch fire if they are exposed to the pilot light of a stove, a lit cigarette or the heat of a curling iron.

What Is Nail Polish

Nail polish is a clear or coloured cosmetic lacquer applied to the fingernails or toenails. It is applied to colour them or make them shiny.

Modern nail polish is sold in a liquid form in small bottles and is applied with a tiny brush. After a few minutes after applying the polish, the substance will harden and form a shiny coating on the fingernails. This is water and chip resistant.

The nail polish should last for several days before it starts to fall off the chip. To take the nail polish off yourself it can be removed by applying nail polish remover. This is a substance that is designed to break down and dissolve the polish.

The Future Of Nail Polish

The biggest problem with using nail polish is the length of time it takes to dry. Various methods of producing fast-drying polish have recently been invented, and these methods, along with others that are still being developed, may result in marketable products.

                            There is a nail polish that drys in 60 seconds.

 



The History Of Nail Polish

Nail polish is a clear or coloured cosmetic lacquer applied to the fingernails or toenails. It is applied to colour them or make them shiny.

Before nail polish was discovered the ancient Egyptians stained their nails with henna, and the ancient Japanese and Chinese stained their nails with various herbal extracts. Some people also tinted their nails with scented red oils, and polished or buffed with a chamois cloth, rather polishing them.

Modern nail varnish was invented in the 1920's. Charles Revson formed the Charles Revson company with his brother Martin Revson and Charles Lachman, a chemist. They found out that if you use the paint used for cars it can be used as a varnish for the nails. The revolution in thinking was to abandon staining the actual nail, but instead to paint a hard-wearing enamel on top of it.
