Bold Feminity With Red Nails

Like red lips became a lasting symbol of femininity; red nail polish has also stood the test of time. From Hollywood starlets of the ’50s to the grunge era of the ’90s, red nails have been a statement of boldness and confidence. But did you know that men were the first to don nail color based on their social status in ancient civilizations?

It was in the ’20s and ’30s that Revlon created exclusive manicure products for ladies, and by the ’40s and ’50s, red nails became a symbol of flashy and stylish looks. Other bold varnish like acrylic, dark colors, prints, and patterns are all modern evolutions.
