It is very hard to trace the origins of the French Manicure. French manicures may have originated in 18th century Paris, France.

They were made popular in the 1920s and 1930s

Some claim or say that "The French Manicure" was invented by Max Factor in Paris, France in the 1920's to the 1930s somewhere in that era. Yes, Max Factor was a real man. He founded Max Factor & Company in 1909, a cosmetics company. Maximilian Faktorowicz (1877--August 30, 1938), Max Factor was the name given to him at Ellis Island by Immigration officials. He was born in Poland to a Jewish family. He eventually opened a shop in Moscow Russia. Max Factor was the official cosmetic expert for the Russian Royal Family, The Imperial Russian Grand Opera, and The Russian Royal Ballet. In 1904, Max Factor and his family moved to the United States. He came to sell his rouges and creams at the St. Louis 1904 World's Fair. He did invent the term "makeup," based on the verb, "to make up" ones face.

In 1978 the cosmetics company Orly trademarked the term 'Original French Manicure'
for the first 'at home French manicure kit'.
