Red is the color of passion. Bright lipstick and nails always attract the eyes of men. Women who use this color in manicure and makeup will seem vulgar to some, and someone will appreciate their courage. But, without a doubt, most of those who do not dare to such a bright range would like nails with such a coating.
Where did the red polish come from?
Definitely from antiquity. In Egypt and China, manicures were done with red varnish more than three thousand years ago. In the future, the color scheme was expanded, and each estate had its own shade for nails.
In the modern world, red lacquer came back into fashion in the first half of the 20th century. And its popularity has not diminished over the years. There are more and more options and color combinations with the development of the nail industry.

- The same length of the free edge of the nail. If a woman wantsmake a more relaxed version of the coverage, then the average length will be optimal.
- Even coverage. The varnish should lie perfectly, without streaks, streaks, bubbles and other imperfections. It's red! It shows absolutely all the flaws.
- Using base coat. When covering with ordinary varnish, this is a must, because dyes are very aggressive and can eat into the nail plate.
