The World's Best Selling Nail Polish Shades

Hello lovelies, today I will be discussing the best selling nail polishes of all time.
Nail polish originated in China and dated back to 3000 BC. Around 600 BC, during the Zhou dynasty, the royal house preferred the colors gold and silver. However, red and black eventually replaced these metallic colors as royal favorites. During the Ming dynasty, nail polish was often made from a mixture that included beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic.
In Egypt, the lower classes wore pale colors, whereas high society painted their nails reddish brown with henna. Mummified pharaohs also had their nails painted with henna. The colored nail polish did not make an appearance until the 1920s. Early nail polish formulas were created using basic ingredients such as lavender oil, Carmine, oxide tin, and bergamot oil. It was more common to polish nails with tinted powders and creams, finishing off by buffing the nail until left shiny. One type of polishing product sold around this time was Graf's Hyglo nail polish paste.
Nail polish in the Western world was more frequently worn by women, going in and out of acceptability depending upon moral customs of the day. In Victorian-era culture, it was generally considered improper for women to adorn themselves with either makeup or nail coloring since natural appearances were considered more chaste and pure. In the 1920s, however, women began to wear color in new makeup and nail products, partly in rebellion to such prim customs of their recent past. Since the 1920s, nail colors progressed from French manicures and standard reds to various palettes of color choices, usually coordinated with the fashion industry's clothing colors for the season. By the 1940s, the whole nail was painted; before that, it was fashionable to leave the tips and a half-moon on the nail bed bare.

I was shocked this didn't make the list. I've been wearing it for ages... Since it came out. It's the perfect red.

I love red nail polish because it makes me feel like a classic Hollywood star from the 1950s lol...

I am wearing Revlon Red right now! It's the fourth bottle I've worn this year. I almost feel naked when I am taking a few days off to let my nails breathe.

[@beautybyralu]

I love Revlon too. I have shade Extravagant right now. I am obsessed with it at the moment but I always have Red part of my collection too. It's timeless 💕

[@RR4711]

Natalie Sarvey I’ve worn black nail polish for over a decade and understand what you mean about feeling “naked”. There’s an Australian brand call Kesterblack that make breathable nail polishes. They also make breathable base and top coats. All their products are free of the really nasty chemicals. Since switching my nails are stronger and don’t go yellow. I suggest everyone find a brand in their country that makes breathable also known as water permeable polishes.

[@beautybyralu]

@@RR4711 That's so cool!

Nails don't need to breathe. They're actually dead tissue, once they've grown past the cuticle.

Are there any plans for more Vintage Doll Cosmetics nail products? I would love to see some nail polish or even some new colors of press on nails!

Just the press on nails because I can’t ship nail polish. I will come out with new colors soon

I wonder if anyone else mixes nail-polish. To create a signature color.

[@pyromaniac709]

I do and always have to mix the bottles everynow and then cause it separates but i still want to use the shades,i exploit my nail polishes to the max😂

I was looking for Cherries in the snow nail polish but could only find the lipstick. I will go for Dior 999 on nails instead. Thank you for your helpful videos!

As a nail junkie this makes me so happy. Also laura please consider making frosty lipsticks or lip glosses in your line. My mom who was born in 1956 wore exclusively frosted lipstick in a peachy pink hue (it was from maybelline and was called peachy scene and was discontinued about 4 or 5 years ago) and I prefer frost finishes too because of how pretty they are. It was also a big thing in the 1970s and 1980s when my mom was young. Anyway love you and God bless.

[@elainebines6803]

My sister was born around that time. Our aunt wore pink frosty and was born in 1945. My sister's favourite was rimmel Heather shimmer lipstick and still made today!

I've always loved Essie shades for lighter/pastel colours but I'm really drawn to the Dior 999 as well as the Revlon Cherries in the Snow.

[@karengant2555]

Love this vid! Revlon's "Cherries in the Snow" is said to be Marilyn Monroe's favorite shade. I personally love OPI shades: Lincoln Park After Dark , Bubble Bath and Cajun Shrimp.

[@katieaviss543]

The bit where you paint onto the plastic swatches was soooo relaxing to watch and listen to, like ASMR! I really enjoyed this and like hearing you talk about the history of cosmetics ☺️

[@vickierayhill4637]

The development of the automotive industry, particularly advances in the Paint also influenced nail polish: (ease of use, availability. glossy durable waterproof colors etc.)in the 20's and 30's.

[@NancyL0220]

Vintage nail polish bottle question: On the cap of old stock Revlon bottles there is that removable (?) white object. What is it? A tool of some sort? A couple of bottles once owned by Frida Kahlo were actually in a museum exhibition awhile back, and it caught my interest. Incidentally, Frida wore Revlon Frosted Snow Pink and Frosted Pink Lightening (both discontinued). Thanks!

[@elainebines6803]

I have cajun shrimp - lovely colour. I'm going to hunt out espresso by Sally Hanson. Enjoyed the concept of video 👍

[@fefetines9414]

I love Lincoln Park after dark. It basically looks black and you can only catch a glimpse of purple under lights at a certain angle

[@jayneneewing2369]

My favorite red polish of all time was “Well Red” by Essie. They discontinued it some years ago, and I haven’t found anything to match it yet. I loved it so much that I couldn’t bear to throw out the bottle when it was done. *sigh* The two reds I like how are “Very Cranberry” by Essie (raspberry-ish), and “Seduce Me” by China Glaze (like a darker version of “Very Cranberry”.)

[@cindyurban150]

Laura, Thank You for this great video ! It's one of your best ! Cindy

Thanks Cindy

[@lmurphy848]

I love all of these pretty shades of color. My favorite is the Cherries in the Snow. I’ve been wearing the lipstick so now I must get the matching nail polish! Thanks so much for this and all of your awesome videos. By the way, what pretty color were you wearing? And, are those your Rita nails?!

[@streetofdreams4538]

Are there really so many ladies who wear black polish? I know it was a trend in recent years, but I didn't think it was so widely popular. 🤔 I'm also surprised there aren't more red and pink shades on this list, since those have been the most popular in my perception.

[@teenina6829]

Im shocked there aren't many nude colours . Every time I ask a mail technician what the most popular nail colours are they say nude followed by reds .

[@RR4711]

Chris S. high gloss black has been my standard for over a decade. Black matches with every makeup and clothing. The key is shine, it’s the shine and shape of the nail that makes it look classy.

If you like the darker colours, may I suggest the OPI polish Black Cherry Chutney? It's a gorgeous black plum. It's also my all time favourite colour, ever.

[@hopekatz2725]

Rouge Noir is the name of the class of polish...that Pulp Fiction color was called VAMP. By Chanel

[@BreakfastAndFallout]

Hello, beauty :) I was worried in the start that you are not showing them swatched but than you did hahahahaha thank you, this is really useful! Polish is my favourite beaty product, I use it all the time, and paint my nails at least 2 times a week. There is something relaxing about this process for me, I feel in the moment when I paint and file my nails

[@teenina6829]

Lincoln Park After Dark, but I want to try some of the others you mentioned. Loved how you swatched them! How long can you wear your press-on nails? Yours always look perfect!

I use Revlon Red and Expresso quite often. My favorite to use is called "Blushing Bride" and I believe it is from Sally Hansen. It's a lovely shimmer rose pink and hardly chips.

[@hannahsonnenburg7718]

I really want to wear colour on my nails but I have this stupid habit of always picking on my cuticles which is why I think my hands look awful and I don’t want to draw further attention to them by wearing polish. I try to keep me from doing it by wearing gloves most of the time but it’s really difficult to stop. If anyone has any tips how to stop habits like this, I’d really appreciate that.

[@annaleist9983]

Try redoing or touching up your nails every time you pick at them. Eventually you’ll be so tired of retouching them it’ll be motivation to stop! :)

[@RR4711]

Hannah Sonnenburg my sister-in-law had the same issue, she would pick until she was bleeding. Painting her nails is what helped, she didn’t want to ruin the nice manicure.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Constantly apply cuticle oil. Eventually, there will be nothing to pick.

[@brittanybales715]

Try wairing a clear polish, not fore buty, but to remind you not to pick. When you go to pick you will be able to feel the polish, if not see it faintly shining: their for reminding you of your gole of wairing colored nail polish. When you’ve gone a week without picking move on to a colored nail polish!
