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'.

Can nail polish remover ruin your phone screen?

Nail polish remover generally consists primarily of acetone and ethyl acetate. It should wipe off with a paper towel.

You can't be THAT sure...they never used formaldehyde in nail polish.

Tosylamide/formaldehyde resin, which has formaldehyde as an ingredient but is very different from formaldehyde when it gets put in nail polish, is a polymer they use to make nail polish harder. They're developing new resins to replace it because no one wants to use a product that says "formaldehyde" on the ingredients list even if it contains no actual formaldehyde.

How long do nail Gel Extensions last?

It depends on what kind of extensions you put in:The glue in extensions use a "bond". These only last about a week or so depending on how often you wash your hair. They are EXTREMELY damaging and I don't recommend them.

The individual extensions look like small strands of hair, glued together. You "fuse" these to your hair, and while they look better, they take A LOT of time and also damage your hair because they use the same sort of bonding agent.

The braid in ones usually last the longest, but they cost the most to get professionally done. I'm not sure how damaging they are, but a lot of stylists that I've talked to say this is way better than gluing.

I learned a new technique recently that you can use with either tracks or individuals. I'm not sure what it's called, but you take small sections of your hair and the extensionsusing a hook and pull it through a small metal circle thing. After you do that, you use a clamp to secure it all together. It takes a lot of time, but it looks great and it lasts a long time. It's also really easy to get out and it doesn't damage your hair much, if at all.

Whatever method you chose, you should make sure to buy high quality hair. Even if you glue them in, good hair can be reused multiple times.
