A woman’s fingernails are not only a sign of health but in many cultures throughout time they haveĀ  actually established a woman’s place in society. Ancient Egyptians were very nail conscious, Cleopatra is know to have applied henna to tint her nails and archaeologists have found many solid gold manicure tools in Egyptian tombs.

During the 17th century the upper class in Chinese society used fingernails to demonstrate their wealth. Both men and women grew their nails to five inches long to show that they didn’t have to perform manual labor for their living. They wore elaborate gold or bamboo splints to prevent their nails from breaking.

And in our era, a woman’s choice of nail color, length and shape will pretty much give you the 411 on who she is.. is she racy in red, pretty in pink or the goth girl sportin’ ebony or neon green ?
