Although there was no nail polish in ancient times, they could use plants instead of nail polish. In ancient times, the materials used to make nail polish were mostly plant flowers, among which Impatiens balsamina and Melaleuca were the most commonly used, and in some places they were also called Pieris red or Achnatherum splendens.
The biggest feature of Melaleuca is that the petals are bright red, and the ingredients in the petals are easy to color. Can be used to dye cloth, rouge and dyes. When people use Melaleuca as a dye, they find that their nails and fingers will be dyed red.
When I discovered the beauty of Melody, I began to try to use it as nail polish, but it was not called nail polish in ancient times, but ChloDan. At that time, there were two ways to dye nails. The first method is to apply plant leaves to nails and wrap them with cloth. Doing so will allow the red juice from plants to penetrate into the nails.
With Melaleuca's quick dyeing, the nails will be dyed red in a short time, and then the coconut on the nails will be removed. This operation method is relatively simple, and daughters of poor families usually dye their nails like this. However, this operation method also has a bad place, that is, it will dye the skin around the nails red.
Therefore, the second method is used instead of the first method to dye nails in Miss Da's home. The ladies will ask the maid to mash the Melaleuca leaves into mud, and the Melaleuca leaves derived from the mud are called ChloDane, and then apply ChloDane directly to the nails with special tools.
Before applying chlordane, apply sesame oil to the skin next to nails to ensure that chlordane will not touch the skin around nails. The process of applying Chlamydia Dan is time-consuming, because Chlamydia Dan is made of plants after all, and the color is easy to be uneven, so it will be repeated.
