Red is the color of passion. Bright lipstick and nails always attract the eyes of men. Women who use this color in manicure and makeup will seem vulgar to someone, and someone will appreciate their courage.

Where did the red varnish come from?

In the modern world, red varnish returned to fashion in the first half of the 20th century. And its popularity does not decrease over the years. Options and color combinations are becoming more and more with the development of the nail industry.
A little about hands

- The same length of the free edge of the nail. If a woman seeks to make a calmer option for coverage, then the average length will be optimal.
- Smooth coating. The varnish should lie perfectly, without streaks, streaks, bubbles and other flaws. This is red! It shows absolutely all the flaws.
