The first nail polish dates from 1932, with a formula studied by the French Michelle Ménard.
In 1940, Rita Hayworth imagined red nails filed in an oval fashion.
That's it !
The nail polish is not only adopted by the French women, but it goes with their lipsticks, the whole being inspired by the big fashion houses of the time.
Since then, the varnish has continued to evolve, offering us not only different textures, but also new colors.
Today, we can say that there is something for everyone!
The color of the summer varnish is more difficult to choose.
Indeed, not only must it stand in the sun, but its color must reveal summer, cheerfulness and holidays, all without flaking.

Which nail polish to adopt for this summer?
Choose the type of varnish
It is not always easy to find a suitable varnish for the summer.
As for the summer varnish color, how to choose?
If you want a stronger and longer lasting polish, then go for a gel polish, its texture will be thicker.
The semi-permanent varnish hardens faster than a conventional varnish and will also peel less quickly, which can be a real asset for the summer.
Finally, for the colors, we recommend for the summer white colors, nude and pastel varnishes, unless an exceptional evening!
Choose the desired effect
Certain practices are essential when applying the varnish, in particular the “top coat” or the “base coat”.
The first is a layer that is applied after the first layer of varnish.
The top coat will fix your manicure, but also shine it.
The second is a varnish base.
It is applied before your first coat to protect your nail from varnish.
If you want an ultra-vitamin shade, then go for the glitter polish available in many colors.
The pearly varnish will bring out your tan and your healthy glow.
As for the powdery effect, it will confer a dose of audacity and undisguised style.
Finally, the glossy is a varnish that is suitable for the beach, with a lipstick also glossy to which it can be associated.
Choose color
First of all, you should know that black skin is lucky to be able to wear all colors, even the most eccentric.
Copper, red and orange will suit them wonderfully.
For the lightest skin types, we will opt instead for beige, nude, pink or bright red, midnight blue or deep green colors.
Finally, if your skin is rather ivory, you should preferably turn to silver, purple, old pink or taupe varnish colors.
The essential steps for a top nail polish
Prepare the nails
Before applying a varnish, it is recommended to use an emollient oil and to use a boxwood stick in order to push back the cuticles.
Choose a cardboard file that will not damage your nails.
To choose its shape, we observe its nails.
If they are short, go for a round shape.
If your hands are really thin, we choose an oval nail shape.
Finally, if your nails are strong and your hands are square, then go for square nails.
Apply the varnish in 3 steps
The installation of a varnish is generally carried out in 3 stages, the base coat, the varnish and finally the top coat to fix the varnish.
Apply an oil
Emollient oil is essential for softening and pushing back cuticles.
It also maintains the nail.
Don't forget the toenails
Especially in summer, do not forget to paint your toenails. For the day, it is nice to match the colors especially if it's pastel. For an evening or a special occasion, you can give free rein to your desires!
