Nu Nails is an artificial nail made for nail biters by a dentist Maxwell Lappe in 1934.
French manicures imitate the natural colour of nails giving a glossy transparent effect using colours such as beige and soft pink. In manicures, nails are painted in four coats of thin layers; this also reduces chipping or bubbling of the polish and gives a smoother effect.
Revlon is the first nail polish brand established in 1932.
Acrylic nails were created also by a dentist Fred Slack
Its laughable when we say things like Fall fashion or winter fashion.
We do not have Fall or Winter in these parts, our weather is different so it makes our seasons different..
While we have the raining season which is the farmers delight because its good for planting etc.
At this time of the year we have harmattan..!
While there’s the rich smell of dust & sun to dry your clothes in mins or few hours depending on the fabric.
Harmattan is dryer, hazy, dusty, windy & hotter.
The temperature drops in the mornings its cold or very cold depending on where you are with slight fog or heavy fog..!
Its hot in the afternoon with a bit of air but its really hot..!
That you would want to stay hydrated by taking cold liquids all day.
The temperature drops again in the night.. Sometimes its sooo cold that you don’t need the fan/ac .
I hope I was able to give you a small insight on what harmattan feels like..!
