Nail of 20's
In the 20's, nails were only painted in the center, leaving the half moon and the tip bare. This generally helped the nail varnish last longer and, since it is incredibly difficult to do yourself, showed you had the money to pay for a manicure. They were also filed into a round edge, which is more delicate by nature, and therefore showed the individual didn't do manual work. Colors used were more often reses, reds and oranges, but there has been some evidence of use of a peacock green color.
Colored nail polishes were invented in the 1920's and the first nail polish was launched by Revlon.
