During a certain period people who killed a person would paint one nail red with a type of paint. If two were painted, you've killed two men. ETC..The more you killed the more nail's you painted. It was a way of showing that they tainted there hands in blood once or many times... They chose red because... well, blood is red isn't it?? ^-^ hope I helped!

Will nail polish remover remove latex paint?

Yeah nail polish remover works great on removing acrylic paint on shirts and jeans and any other fabric, but i don't know if acrylic and latex paint is the same thing; and you should test it out on an inauspicious area first to see if it will remove the color of the shirt it self before applying it to the fabric just to be safe =)


Can you paint over fake nails?

Yes! You can paint over fake nails. I have done it many of times. What kills though is that if you want to take the nail polish off, it ruins the acrylic or nail. So the answer is yes, but be careful and pick a good choice of nail polish that you will keep on when having fake nails on.

Can you use latex paint for a wood fence?

What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.
