4. Early 20th Century Revolution
The early 20th century brought groundbreaking innovations to nail art. The development of the first modern nail polish in the 1920s transformed the industry. Companies like Revlon began mass-producing colored nail polishes, with the creation of glossy, durable lacquers inspired by automotive paint. This era also saw the rise of the professional manicurist as a respected occupation. Hollywood stars popularized various manicure trends, such as the iconic red nail polish that became synonymous with glamour and sophistication. New tools and techniques made nail care more accessible to the general public, marking a significant shift in the industry.
