Ya know- it’s funny to think that somebody a long time ago invented nail polish. Like one day they were like “I’m gonna make my nails change color!” and everyone else around them was like “why?” and they were like, “I dunno - but it’s gonna look cool af”. And then they smeared berry juice on their nails like, “AW SHIT THIS LOOKS COOL” and everyone else was like “WHOOOOOA- pass me the berries”. And then one of those people eventually began to mix different things together like eggs and beeswax and vegetable dye to make metallic colors for the Chinese royal family. Like somebody had to go to the emperor and be like, “SO - what if I told you I can change your nail color” and the emperor was like, “GOOOOOO OOOOOON”  and then the person painted the emperor’s nails and the emperor was like, “YOOO this is AWESOME”. And then in Egypt somebody had to invent henna and convince people to dye their nails with it - like, the darker the red-ish color the higher the social class. They painted their nails based on status- THE MARKETING BEHIND THAT IS FUCKING GENIUS. And then somebody was like -” Let’s use scented red oils that can be buffed to make your nails look shiny because WHY NOT!” which then led to more tinted oils with creams. Now people use gel based paints and acrylic paints and add like pieces of shiny shit and tiny shapes like- I CAN PAINT MY NAILS WITH GLOW IN THE DARK BRIGHT NEON GREEN GLITTERY NAIL POLISH BECAUSE SOMEBODY PROBABLY SMEARED BERRIES ON THEIR NAILS BECAUSE THEY FELT LIKE IT. ISN’T IT SO FUCKING WEIRD AND AWESOME HOW SHIT LIKE PAINTING YOUR NAILS EVOLVES OVER TIME BECAUSE PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS COOL AF?!?! Â
