3. Victorian Era Refinements
The Victorian era marked a significant turning point in the evolution of nail art and care. This period saw the introduction of professional manicure services and the first commercially produced nail care products. Victorian women favored a natural, well-groomed appearance, with soft pink nails achieved through meticulous buffing and the application of subtle colors. The invention of the steel nail file in the 1830s revolutionized nail care, making it easier to achieve uniform shapes. The first nail care manuals were also written during this time, offering detailed instructions on proper nail maintenance and setting standards that would influence future generations.
