believed that Long nails make your hands look beautiful and leaner .The Longer
nails can also give an impression of status. Women in the Far East who grow
their nails to extraordinary lengths see them as a symbol of social status. The
history of artificial nails told a story of the longer the nails, the better
you are treated.

history of artificial nails began when a dentist, broke his fingernail at work,
and invented the first artificial nail as a realistic-looking temporary
replacement. It was America that really set off the popularity trend for artificial nails. In
the late 20th century, artificial nails for women became widely popular all
over the world.
