nail polish can be traced back to at least 3000 BC when it originated in China. The Chinese found ways to use gum Arabic, egg whites, Gelatin, and bees wax to create varnishes and lacquers for the nails. The Egyptians would use henna to stain their fingernails. In China, as well as in Egypt, color represented social class. During the Chou Dynasty, circa 600 BC, gold and silver were the royal colors. Later, royalty starting wearing black or red nail color. Lower ranking women were only permitted to wear pale tones. Wearing royal colors without being royalty was punished by death.

In the 1930s the car industry boomed. New types of strongly opaque pigments were used in vehicle paints. This technology was adopted by the brothers Charles und Joseph Revlon, who developed the first nail varnish in 1932. Thanks to this invention they laid the foundations for the cosmetic company Revlon.

It was created before 1930. It was used in Ancient civilizations and according to historians and archaeologists 5000 years ago nail polish was created in China for the ruling class to distinguish themselves from the general population. Popular colors were metallic and they symbolized power and wealth. There are several reports of public executions of common people who were caught with colored nails. From China the idea spread and was extensively used in Egypt and it disappeared from European fashion after the fall of Rome. In the Renaissance and the new trade connections with the Middle East nail polish returned to Europe.
